Martinitoren for kids

Nearly 300 stone steps – that’s quite a lot. Fortunately, you can stop every now and then along the way to take a look at the ancient interior of the Martinitoren . How heavy do you think those bells are? And why do the people of Groningen actually call it ‘d’Olle Grieze’? Climb to the top like a real tower keeper and you’ll discover it all!

Walking along the outside of the tower at such a height was quite thrilling in itself. But you’re not done yet: the steps continue even higher. It’s no coincidence that the Martinitoren is the tallest building in Groningen. Along the way, you’ll come across all sorts of things that are also marked on your treasure map. You can pick this up at the reception desk. Eventually, the narrow passageways lead you to the clock attic. There, amongst the clock faces, you can hear the seagulls above you and the people down in the market square. What a view over the city! And then you really do have to go back down all those stairs. Which of you was the best climber today?
