Climb the tower with the family
Check the visitor’s guide to take a ramble through the incredible history of St Rumbold’s Tower, with plenty of interesting facts and loads of fun activities for children. You may even run into the tower guard or the city carillonneur as you make your way up or down the stairs. Along the way, you can catch your breath on the different levels, making the climb of 538 steps to the breathtaking view perfectly manageable for children too.
Get more out of your visit with AR and VR
Thanks to an AR application, a Burgundian spectacle from 1516 comes to life before your eyes. On the skywalk, two virtual reality viewers will teach you more about various Burgundian palaces, city oases and monuments that you can spot from the roof of St Rumbold’s Tower. For various reasons, not everyone can visit St Rumbold’s Tower. Curious what you’re missing? Ask at the tower desk for a tablet on which to view the AR and VR experiences.
