To go up it is necessary to pay a Admission, but above all it is absolutely mandatory to do accompanied by a guide which will also offer an explanation on each floor of the tower, there are 3 including the final parapet. The guide will explain both in Dutch and on request also in English. The steps are quite tiring, no doubt about it, but to admire it splendid panorama it is a sacrifice that can be made.
Le 13 bells which are at the second stage of the climb weigh from 400 kg, the smallest, up to 9 tons of weight. From the upper parapet, on the clearest days, it is even possible to see Amsterdam which is about 35km away.
A curiosity: the Utrecht tower is not attached to the city cathedral, but is distant. This is because the city was hit in 1647 from a tornado which completely demolished the central part of the building.
