Not only to visit Cathedral, but the Tower as well next to it and nice playing spot for kids next to Cathedral. There is no toilet, but around the corner there is open public one. Visitmechelen.be is your guide for a beautiful gate away options! Mechelen with love!

The cathedral itself is free to enter a worth looking around. You pay to go up the tower and it's worth the fairly modest cost. There are 500 steps up, but there are several floors on the way, several devoted to the old carillon and new carillon. Carillons are a keyboard instrument that plays bells of all sizes and it's fascinating to see one playing and also watch the clock mechanism. The view from the top is also great.

Especially beautiful, definitely worth seeing. I will definitely come back and recommend other people to visit. Regarding the price, very reasonably, for people up to 27 years old the price was 3 euros. There is also an underground parking lot nearby, the price is affordable.

I didn't expect in this small town has a beautiful cathedral like this. And it's just next to the Makt, worth to visit and full with history, especially its painting. Recommended.

Beautiful cathedral ⛪️ It a must visit place when visiting to Mechelen ❤️ If You Have Time And Can Climb then Go to The Top of the tower which have 600 plus steps to get to know the history of the Mechelen and 360 view of the city from the top 🫶🏻

(Translated by Google) Just as we thought the town did not have as much charm as others in the area, the visit to the tower of the cathedral seems mandatory. Very educational and entertaining and in order to know how the tower itself could be built, see the bells closely and learn about the lanes, it seemed the most complete. (Original) Así como el pueblo nos pareció que no tenía tanto encanto como otros de la zona, la visita a la torre de la catedral nos parece obligatoria. Muy didáctica y entretenida y de cara a conocer el modo en que se pudo construir la propia torre, ver de cerca las campanas y conocer sobre los carrilones nos pareció la más completa.

(Translated by Google) Definitely do when you are in Mechelen. The cathedral is free, the tower is not. But with your ticket from here you get discounts at other attractions. 538 stairs, not nothing but worth doing so that you have seen everything (Original) Zeker doen als je in Mechelen bent. De kathedraal is gratis, de toren niet. Maar met je ticket van hier krijg je korting bij andere bezienswaardigheden. 538 trappen, niet niks maar de moeite om te doen zodat je alles gezien hebt

(Translated by Google) Beautiful view over the city of Mechelen. On a beautiful cloudless day you can see as far as Brussels, and even see the Atomium. But first conquer those 500 stairs of course. Fortunately, there are a number of stops with interesting rooms in between. You must have seen and done this. In combination with the incentive package, this is worth it! (Original) Prachtig uitzicht over de stad Mechelen. Op een mooie onbewolkte dag kan tot in Brussel kijken, en zelfs het Atomium zien. Maar wel eerst die 500 trappen omhoog bedwingen natuurlijk. Gelukkig is er tussendoor een aantal stops voorzien met interessante kamers. Dit moet je gezien en gedaan hebben. In combinatie met het prikkelpakket is dit de moeite!

Beautiful cathedral. Excellent organ dedicated decades ago by their famous Cathedral organist, Flor Peeters. Beautiful stained glass, statuary, and paintings. TWO fine carillons (beiaard) in the tower, played weekly on Saturdays during Market at 11:30 and Sundays at 15:00. Monday night recitals @ 20:00 in the Summer through half of September.

This church is a true gem. If you read Ken Follet’s books you can feel the story and imagine how much ingenuity and work it took to built this masterpiece. Stand at the top of the tower and admire the town below and think of the efforts of people that built it. Entrance to the tower costs 8 euros, but it is worth it including your sweat making all those hundreds of stairs. Church possesses some impressive pieces of art. Even some resembling Flemish primitives, also Cocxie, Van Dyck.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, high, authentic cathedral located in the center of Mechelen. The cathedral below (after the entrance) is free to enter. The cathedral is not finished, so a skywalk has been placed at the top. For this you can pay € 8 p.p. You then walk 538 steps all the way to the top of the cathedral. This can be tough so only do it if you are good and have comfortable clothes. In between there are 6 rooms on different floors. This ensures peace. You can also see / read a lot of information about the history of the cathedral in the rooms. A very nice activity! Educational, active and unique! (Original) Een mooie, hoge, authentieke kathedraal gelegen in het centrum van Mechelen. De kathedraal beneden (na de ingang) is gratis toegankelijk. De kathedraal is niet afgemaakt dus er is bovenin een skywalk geplaatst. Hiervoor kun je €8 betalen p.p. Je loopt dan 538 treden helemaal naar de top van de kathedraal. Dit kan zwaar zijn dus doe het alleen als je goed ter ben bent en comfortabele kleding aan hebt. Tussendoor zijn er wel 6 kamers op verschillende verdiepingen. Dit zorgt voor rust. Je kunt in de kamers ook veel informatie zien/lezen over de geschiedenis van de kathedraal. Een hele leuke activiteit! Leerrijk, actief en uniek!

Beautiful cathedral in the center of Mechelen. The enormous glass stained windows are beautiful and a visit worthy of its owns. After paying a small fee you can climb the stairs of the beltowrr to the top to enjoy a great view.

Beautiful cathedral, visited during the Christmas season, the inside is less gilded than some of the other large cathedrals in Brussels or Antwerp but there is a collection of stunning artwork and the outside is beautiful to walk around

One of the most important things inside the church is the painting of Antoon Van Eyck called Christ on the Cross painted in 1630. It was built in 13th C CE. Today it is possible to go atop this tower for a panoramic view. On a clear day it is very much possible to see the Brussels' Atomium from atop here!!! On the way, you could spot some interesting things including the view of the organ from atop!!!

What a beautiful cathedral! Loved the baroque arches (similar to many others in other parts of belgium) and the amazing architecture and artistry that is exhibited in the edifice. The grandness and luxury of these cathedrals are totally astonishing. It is free to enter, but 8€ if u wish to climb the tower itself to the lookout. The climb is only available in the afternoons i believe.

Impressive cathedral as you expect one to be in Flanders. The art is outstanding with Antoon Van Dyck’s “Christ on the cross” stealing the show. Stained glass windows and elaborate woodwork is also worth enjoying. While the entrance to the cathedral is free, you need to pay an extra fee to climb up the belfry. I visited on a Saturday and enjoyed a big and crowded open market right in front of the cathedral.

Impressive building and nice art collection. It is really worth to go to the concerts they organise.

Fabulous place, didn't manage to climb the tower, dodgy knees, and no toilet facilities on the way up or at the top. But two.of our party did and said it was amazing.

If you want to do your daily dose of exercising and also admire great views you must climb the cathedral's tower - have a test at bells mechanism and listen to some short melodies

(Translated by Google) We could enter without paying. Beautiful church (Original) Wij konden zo naar binnen zonder te betalen. Schitterende kerk

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful cathedral that is still being restored, so definitely worth a visit later (Original) Heel mooie kathedraal waar nog aan gerestaureerd wordt dus zeker later nog eens een bezoekje waard

Beautiful monument with lots of amazing stained glass and an unique pulpit.

Love to be there, prices are good €3 for under 28 and €8 for more than 28, to go to the tower and the cathedral is free, is really beautiful

Impressive cathedral, well preserved and having paintings of Van Eyck. We don't have the chance to go the top of the tower but next time will do it.

Very nice place, and interesting history. If you take a walk in the downtown area, you can't miss it. It is very tall and dominates the surroundings..

Again, no considerable difference from those Cathedrals in Brussels or other Belgian cities. The owl might be the most appealing.

It is one of the cathedrals with the largest historical tower in Europe. The date of construction dates back to 1200 years, it is a very magnificent place. A must visit place. It's pretty easy to find too. You can see the big tower from anywhere, all you have to do is follow the tower. :)

Majestic cathedral with such a rich interior. Definitely a must visit when you're in Mechelen!

Awe inspiring place to visit. Steps to the top are not for the faint hearted but the views are terrific and the carillon is amazing, especially watching it chime (although it's very loud when you're in there!)

Beautiful and huge Cathedral, worth visiting if you are in Mechelen

Absolutely stunning Inside and out, a must see, 530 steps was a no go for me, but as soon as I have recovered from surgery I will give it ago.

Beautiful cathedral and worth going up the stairs.

Classic art and architecture. Must go to tower top. It's not free, I didn't went up due to time limit.

Very great experience, highly recommend you go all the way up to the skywalk. You need a ticket you can purchase inside. You can also buy candles to support the church.

I've been knowing the Cathedral all my life as Mechelen is my home town. Since I live abroad it's always a pleasure seeing the cathedral again, whether it's from hind and far or from close-by. I can really utterly recommend to visit the cathedral when you spend a few days in Mechelen. You can even walk all the way up to the Skywalk and enjoy the wonderful vistas!

Beautiful cathedral and Tower. You can also pray to the local Saint that cures people of leprosy ;)

(Translated by Google) Beautiful cathedral, yet I missed the pomp and circumstance you would expect. The inside of the cathedral could use some restoration. St. Rumbold's Cathedral was built in the thirteenth century and is the main church of the Archdiocese of Mechelen-Brussels. From the outset it is bigger and more impressive than any other parish church. The church grew into one of the eye-catchers of the city of Mechelen. The inside of the cathedral is breathtaking. You can admire the painting 'Christ on the cross' by Antoon van Dyck, as well as other works by Michel Coxcie, Gaspard de Crayer and Abraham Janssens, among others. The showpiece in the church is Lucas Faydherbe's main altar from 1665. (Original) Mooie kathedraal, toch miste ik de pracht en praal wat je zou verwachten. De binnenkant van de kathedraal kan wel wat restoratie gebruiken. De Sint-Romboutskathedraal werd in de dertiende eeuw gebouwd en is de hoofdkerk van het aartsbisdom Mechelen-Brussel. Ze is van meet af aan groter en indrukwekkender dan alle andere parochiekerken. De kerk groeide uit tot een van de blikvangers van de stad Mechelen. De binnenkant van de kathedraal is adembenemend. Je kan er het schilderij 'Christus aan het kruis' van Antoon van Dyck bewonderen, net zoals andere werken van onder meer Michel Coxcie, Gaspard de Crayer en Abraham Janssens. Het pronkstuk in de kerk is het hoofdaltaar van Lucas Faydherbe uit 1665.

Nice cathedral, if you are in Belgium you have to visit Mechelen and this place. Grwat view from the top.

Amazing experience! The church is beautiful, offers free entry (climbing the Belfry was 8€, but totally worth it!) The staff is friendly and the church is very well kept. Definitely worth stopping by to see the tower and the cathedral!

Beautiful church. :)

Beautiful and lovely Catholic church in the heart of the city

Usual (and far not the most beautiful) gothic church. Ther are hundreds of them in Europe. And couple of them are right in Mechelen. And dosens of other cothic churches are more beautiful than this one.

A place you must come in Mechelen

Beautiful and lovely Catholic church in the heart of the city which is the co-cathedral of the diocese of Mechelan-Brussels. The bell tower is the most important and impressive part of the church which is opened for visitors to climb and it provides a clear view of the whole city. This Catholic church also stands as a landmark and identity of the city.

Beautiful and really impressive cathedral near the Grand-Place of Mechelen. We wanted to climb the tower during the afternoon but we were told that a reservation in the morning is needed. But the inside is free and it is worth the while. The entry for under 27 years old is only 3€ so do not hesitate to take a try and observe the stunning views on the top of the cathedral!
