Is Westerkerk worth it on a budget?

DependsOn a budget

On a budget, weigh it — Westerkerk isn't cheap for what it is.

Church free; tower tour ~€10

The guided tower climb gives one of the best old-city panoramas, and the church itself (Rembrandt's likely burial place) is free to enter. The catch: the tower is by timed guided tour only, with steep narrow stairs and limited hours, so the climb takes planning.
