It was only €3 for students to enter the Belfry. You can see the iconic clock inside, along with other important exhibitions about Mons. There’s a large field in front of the Belfry so it’s a perfect place to have a picnic or simply relax, especially on a sunny day with amazing weather. I absolutely enjoyed the view.

Bel endroit a visiter dommage que l 'on a que le droit de descendre les escaliers car des visites a chaque étage

La vue sur la ville est superbe et le spectacle des cloches sonnant depuis le clocher est fabuleux. Le personnel est également très attentionné. Point important, l'accès est facilité pour les personnes à mobilité réduite (même en fauteuil roulant) jusqu'à la plateforme d'observation située à l'avant-dernier étage, grâce à un ascenseur à l'intérieur de la tour qui permet d'accéder à une entrée dédiée depuis la rue adjacente. Cependant, se rendre dans la rue où se trouve le clocher n'est pas chose aisée ; le reste de la ville n'est pas très accessible aux personnes en fauteuil roulant. Je recommande donc de s'y rendre en voiture si possible.

Une solution architecturale originale. D'un côté, le clocher, avec sa haute façade, est visible de partout en ville ; de l'autre, il n'est qu'une petite superstructure sur une colline bordée de parcs. L'entrée est payante.
