*The tower staircase is narrow, steep, and winding, with small uneven steps, no handrail, and dim lighting. For this reason, we do not recommend this part of the tour for anyone with a fear of heights or enclosed spaces, or those with limited mobility or impaired vision.

Before ascending the tower, there will be a short safety briefing, and participants will be asked to sign a disclaimer.

Unfortunately, access to the bell chamber and the roof is not permitted.

Children under 18 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times.
