Lonely Planet review

Stupendous views over Ghent unfurl from the top of this Unesco-listed belfry built in the 14th century. Its enormous Kloke Roeland bell was used to warn the town of enemy invasion and some 54 bells ring out across the city from its carillon (set of bells). You can scale the steps or take the small elevator (though it doesn't accommodate wheelchairs).
