Utrecht: Dom Tower Entry Ticket and Guided Tour

4.Dom Tower Entry Ticket and Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 513 reviews · 1 day · from $17

Climb Utrecht’s 700-year-old Dom Tower on a guided tour, resting at four levels before reaching 112 meters and sweeping city views.

“Great experience going up to the top of the tower. The view is worth it! You need to be reasonably fit as there are 400 plus steps! You stop along the way at certain floors so it’s manageable. The top stairs are quite confined so beware if you’re claustrophobic. Great guide who was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed it.”
