Climbing the St. John's Tower
- ± 1.25 hours
Reward: a spectacular view
218 steps up, but don’t worry: you don’t have to do them all at once. On every floor, the guide from Kring Vrienden van ’s-Hertogenbosch tells special stories and shows you unique spots. Admire the old clockwork, the carillon drum, and the 69 bells, including the imposing Noteman with a diameter of 2.10 m.
The climb ends at a height of 43 meters. You’ll stand outside next to the giant clockwork, whose gilded hand is no less than 1.75 m long. Here, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular view of the historic city center of Den Bosch and, on a clear day, even further.
Ringing the bells by hand
Every first and third Saturday of the month, you can ring the bells together with the guides—a unique and unforgettable experience in the Netherlands! Read more here for information and tickets.
