Martinitoren treasure hunt

You will for sure feel it in your muscles when you are done climbing the almost 300 steps up the Martinitoren. But rest assured: there are options for breaks along the way to have a look at its ancient interior. What would those bells weigh? And why do Groningen residents refer to the tower as the Old Grey One? Climb up there like a real tower-keeper to find the answers.

As if walking at considerable height along the exterior of the tower was not quite exciting enough, the steps take you up even further. After all, the Martini Tower is the highest building in the city. Along the way, you will come across all sorts of things that are also on your treasure map. You get this one at the counter. The narrow passageways ultimately lead to the bell tower. This is where you can hear gulls above and people at the market while you stand between the clock dials. You will also have a magnificent view of the city! Then it will be time to climb down again... Who was the climber of the day?
