Which one to choose in Berlin
Two churches in Berlin. Berlin Cathedral has 3 tickets and tours to book; French Cathedral, Berlin has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Berlin, Germany
One ticket covers the church, the Hohenzollern crypt and the dome walk, and there is no cheaper version worth buying, since the dome is the main reason most people pay. Booking online saves a queue on Museum Island in summer. The dome climb is 270 steps to an external gallery at 50 metres with a circle of central Berlin: the Lustgarten below, the television tower opposite and the Spree on two sides. Audio guides are included in some ticket versions.
Berlin, Germany
The French Cathedral stands on the Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin's Mitte district, facing an almost identical domed building across the square and with the concert hall between them, and it is really two things joined together: a small Huguenot church, and a large domed tower built beside it for show. The church is free to enter when open. The tower houses a museum about the Huguenots in Berlin and a viewing gallery reached by a long staircase, both with a small charge.
