The most important church in Rotterdam. It survived the fire of the 2nd world war in some parts, the others underwent restoration. It’s interesting that you can see that few walls are pending visibly. We visited it during an organ concert, that made the visit delightful. At the beginning of the visit we were given a brochure with the information. We did not go on the church tower.

Pro: the view is amazing, you only have to climb 300 steps (aproximativ 10 min) to get on top, the guide that is waiting for you on the top of the church is amazing (Willem is the best ever), the tickets are cheap (3€ to visit the church and 7,5€ to visit the church + climb on top of it) Cons: the lady at the ticket booth is not friendly because me and my friends bought 4 tickets. After paying the tickets, we asked for bathroom, she said that she will get our tickets when we go back. 5 minutes later, at the tickets booth were 20 people standing in line to get tickets, we asked for our own and she told us to wait until she gets the tickets to the other people. I am finding that not ok because we should’ve got the tickets before going to bathroom, in the first place, and second, we should’ve got our tickets when we came back, not to wait after all those people when we already waited in line once. Also, if you are claustrophobic, you should avoid the view on the church because the way to the top is pretty tight.

Rotterdam. Laurenskerk torenbeklimming. Torenbeklimming kan op woensdag en zaterdag op bepaalde tijden. Van april tot/ met oktober. ( kijk op website). De torenbeklimming gaat onder leiding van een gids. De rondleiding duurt nog geen uur maar is ruim voldoende. De trappen lopen gemakkelijk wel smal. Na 300 treden kom je bij een grote “muziekdoos” het elektrische carillon. Heel bijzonder en zeker als het draait. Daarna nog 100 treden en dan heb je een waanzinnig uitzicht op alle bekende iconen van Rotterdam. Alles wat je die dag gezien heb als toerist of gewoon omdat je bekend bent met Rotterdam. Voor iedereen is dit een aanrader om Rotterdam van boven te zien. Boven is het best ruim. De kerk zelf is heel licht met een groot orgel en bijzondere akoestiek. De enthousiaste medewerker achter de balie wist nog wat leuke feitjes te vertellen over het standbeeld van Erasmus voor de kerk. ( Tijdens de oorlog begraven in tuin van depot Boijmans). Het bordje in de kerk wat het onderhoud kost is ook iets waar je normaal niet bij stilstaat. In de kerk ligt een krantje waarin je alle gegevens van de kerk kunt vinden. Kaartjes niet online te koop.

Honestly you are better seeing it from outside. I felt like I wasted 4€. No bathrooms available as well, there were some constructions on the inside. Not really much to understand for English speakers. Small & and there is only one impressive part, which shows various pieces from when the cathedral was destroyed. It's very beautiful from the outside but the visit was not worth it.

A wonderful survivor of ww2 . Although it lost its stained glass and a number of tombs amongst other things. It has been rebuilt and brought up to date with a healthy nod of thanks to the past. It is I believe possible to climb the tower although I didn't see the cost for this. There is a small charge for entry, but this fascinating church make the cost well worth paying.
