Whilst visiting Utrecht I also climbed the famous Dom Tower.
The Dom Tower’s bells ring out across Utrecht every hour, each time playing a
different sequence so that the residents can tell what time of day it is. On
the weekend the official bell ringer is in residence and treats the town to a
campanological concert; I Love to Hate
You by the Pet Shop Boys being amongst the choice chimes on the Saturday I
was there.
Instead of a ticket for Dom Tower you get a little passport
and some badges to take away. I’m unsure why you’d need a passport, as such, to climb a
tower however as examples of collateral I think the Dom Tower’s artwork is
nicely considered and much more fun than plain, old admission tickets.
