The St. Rombouts Tower is Mechelen's showpiece: It is the tower of the cathedral from the 15th century, 97 meters and more than 500 steps high. The ascent takes about 20 minutes. As a reward there is a great view over Mechelen to Brussels, Antwerp and Leuven.

A highlight of the city in the truest sense of the word: The 97 meter high St. Rombouts Tower. The landmark of Mechelen was never completed. Today a modern skywalk adorns the tower, from which carillon concerts can be heard every week.

With your head in the clouds... The Belfry Tower incorporated into St. Rumbold's Cathedral is 97.28 meters high. Hear, see and feel the history of the city during your climb. After a steep climb, the roof terrace of the Belfort offers a full city experience.
