Nice 360° view over the city, maybe a little bit expensive (€6). To you to decide if you want to spend this...
Thought we had to walk all the way up, but luckily after 3 floors of stairs there was a lift to the top and the lift person was very knowledgeable about Lille's history. The view was amazing, especially as it was a lovely blue cloud day. not far from the hotel, either
Simple and easy to make a comment.If You want to have the best view over lille yes this is the place to visit,make a visit and You Will enjoy it.fun to take the old style lift up
If the weather is on your side, this is the place to visit. Fantastic views for miles across Lille. Bad weather would not be a good time to go up the 300+ stairs (but there is a lift for 200 or so steps) but in the fine weather, you could not get a better place to go. The staff were very helpful and cheerful and it costs €6 each. Well worth it in the right conditions.
The first few floors are a bit difficult for us old-timers but there is a lift fthat takes you up to the viewing gallery and when you get there the effort seems worth it. There is a magnificent view for miles across the city and surrounding area. It's great to see the tops and rears of the old buildings and at 4 euro each well worth the money.
There you can have a great view of the city. It's also free every first Wednesday of the month, so you can think about saving 6 euros
After a couple a flights of stairs there was thankfully a lift up the other 100 metres or so; excellent all-round open and enclosed views. We walked down the 300 stairs; there are notice boards on the floors, worth reading.
So glad we stumbled upon this. A wedding is taking place when we were there as it is connected to the court house. Only can take elevator up or down, not both included in ticket. I was having knee issues that day so was disappointed.
The title gives you one of the main reasons to visit the Belfry. The view is good but there aren't many interesting things to see. There is some interesting information on your walk down. I'd recommend going for the free visit but probably not paying.
I never miss an opportunity to take in panoramic views and get a higher view of the cities I visit!! I truly enjoyed the views from the top of the Beffroi and recommend a visit here! The big advantage of the Beffroi is that should you want to avoid climbing so many stairs, there is an elevator inside (only after you do climb the first 100 stairs) that will take you the remaining journey to the top! Was nice to not have to walk down once I opted to climb to the top!
