Dresden, Germany
The Kreuzkirche stands on the old market square in Dresden, a few minutes from the rebuilt Frauenkirche and the royal palace, and entry is free. The tower is ticketed, cheap, and gives a view across the old town and the river that is better than the more famous dome nearby because it includes that dome. The real reason to plan around this church is the boys' choir, which has sung here for some eight hundred years and is among the oldest in the world;
Dresden, Germany
Entry to the church is free during opening hours, with a donation box at the door. The dome climb is the ticket: a ramped walkway and then steps to a gallery at 67 metres, with a view over the Elbe and the rebuilt old town, and it costs a moderate sum with timed entry in summer. Audio guides are rented at the entrance. Organ and choral concerts are held several evenings a week and ticketed separately;
