Hotels near View Tower Experience

The View Tower Experience lets visitors climb the tower of the Brussels City Hall, part of the UNESCO-listed Grand-Place, for a 360-degree panoramic view over the city. The visit includes immersive light and sound effects that tell the story of the building and its architecture.

During Winter Wonders, the tower offers one of the best views of the Christmas lights and the Grand-Place tree from above. In the 2025 season, it opened in the afternoon and evening, from Thursdays to Saturdays in Advent and daily from just before Christmas.

Tickets can be bought online or on site, and the 2026 schedule is expected to follow a similar pattern.

Pro Tip: Book a slot just after sunset, around 4.40pm in December, so you see the city lights come on. Combine it with the sound and light show on the Grand-Place below.
