The iconic Dom Tower in Utrecht, the Netherlands' tallest church tower, offers breathtaking panoramic views of the city. While the Dom Church itself can be visited solo and is generally accessible on the ground floor, climbing the tower is exclusively possible via a guided tour, making it unsuitable for solo climbs or wheelchair users beyond the base due to the 465 steps. Tours run year-round, though booking ahead is highly advisable, especially during peak seasons, and strong winds or bad weather might affect access to the very top for safety. An adult guided tour typically costs around €12-€15, lasting approximately 1 to 1.5 hours, providing rich historical context and stunning vistas; comfortable footwear is highly recommended for the ascent.
