The 84-metre, 13th-century belfry dominates the Markt square and has been the symbol of Bruges' civic pride and mercantile power for 800 years. Climbing its 366 sometimes-claustrophobic steps rewards with panoramic views over the medieval city's canals and spires. The carillon of 47 bells has rung the hours since the Middle Ages — hearing it peal from the square below is the defining Bruges sonic experience.
