What makes it 81% Couple-Friendly: Couples can share the impressive nave and stained glass, attend an evening organ concert for a romantic touch, yet the visit is brief and offers little privacy for lingering whispers.
Why 1-2 hours visit duration is ideal for couple trip: Allows time to admire the nave, explore the museum, and catch a recital or audio tour
Walk the Gothic nave:
Stroll between soaring stone columns and gaze up at colorful 13th-century stained-glass windows
Tip: Go early to enjoy softer light through the glass and fewer visitors
Explore the treasure-chamber:
See medieval tapestries, Brussels grave-plates and original Flemish paintings by Bouts and van der Goes
Tip: Use the printed guide in English to spot highlights faster
Catch a free Organ Glow recital:
Listen to a 30-minute organ performance after High Mass on Christ the King Sunday
Tip: Arrive 10 minutes early to secure a pew close to the organ loft
Book a Kathedraalfestival concert:
Enjoy evening organ or choral concerts (May–September) in the candlelit cathedral
Tip: Buy tickets (€12–€18 pp) online in advance to pick better seats
Use a self-guided audio tour:
Dive into the cathedral’s history and art with commentary you control on your phone
Tip: Download the app before you arrive to avoid local data charges

Beautiful church, statues, huge paintings, carpets, all stunning. There is inner museum with unbelievable items. Someone was playing the big Organs.. 🎶 Entry was for free.

As a five organist I was very happy to walk into happen to hear a full recital which sounded very nice from the new pipe organ near the entrance. I noticed also a second one on the side so at least two pipe organs in this church another one had three pretty neat, pretty impressive and the church is nice as well

Absolutely beautiful cathedral. Parts of it almost felt like being in an art gallery as there are lots of old works of art. Also of interest are the splendid stained glass windows, which were particularly vibrant on this sunny day, and the memorial stones. Free to visit but donations appreciated, even if donate via lighting a candle.

This church is well worth the time to visit. In addition to the beautiful architecture and stained glass, they have a large collection of art and a museum. There is not an entry fee. The original parts of the building were built in the late 1200s.

I have been there on Saturday and there was no entrance fee! The inside is both art and history museum! Definitely worth visiting! The voluntary worker was quite friendly and extremely eager to help me to learn about the Cathedral and art pieces in it.
From May to September, reserve Kathedraalfestival concert tickets. Every Wednesday in July and August, attend free 30-minute Organ Glow recitals. In winter, focus on the art and architecture with the audio guide.
