Located on the edge of the Jordaan neighborhood within walking distance of the Anne Frank Huis, the Protestant Westerkerk was finished in 1631. Those without fear of heights—and in good shape—can climb the 279-foot-tall bell tower for expansive city views from the highest tower in Amsterdam. If you’re in the neighborhood on Tuesday at around noon, you will hear the carillon, a set of fifty tuned bells, chime.
