About the event
OPTION 1: Guided tour up the Dom Tower
The guided Dom Tower tour is a 1 hour tour and will take place on Wednesday, 19 November 2025 at 14:30–15:30 or 15:30-16:30 local time. It will start at the entrance of the Tourist Information Centre (Domplein 9, 3512 JC, Utrecht, see pin), which is 1.0 km from the ECSS2025 venue (a 14-minute walk).
Utrecht’s iconic symbol is the Dom Tower, at a height of 112 metres the tallest church spire in the Netherlands. During a likely derecho event on 1 August 1674, the nave of the Dom church was literally blown away. The choir and the tower remained standing. The nave was never rebuilt and thus the Dom church is now only half a church. A long renovation project was completed very recently.
Climb the 465 steps to the top, discover its history, and enjoy the spectacular view over Utrecht.
