- There is a coffee shop on the 5 or 6th floor with views over the whole city. You have to pay a couple dollars to go up into the tower

Gothic Church. The highlight is the basilica’s towers , which you can climb if you have the nerve – the ascent requires crossing a rickety wooden plank inside the main roof and climbing steep stairs and ladders (with solid handrails) to the top. You can also climb the spiral staircase and three sets of ladders into and above the clock tower.
