Which one to choose in Heidelberg
Two churches in Heidelberg. Holy Spirit Church, Heidelberg has no online ticket listed; Jesuit Church, Heidelberg 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.
Heidelberg, Germany
The Church of the Holy Spirit stands in the market square in the middle of Heidelberg's old town, below the castle, and entry is free with a donation box. The tower is ticketed and cheap, about two hundred steps, and gives the classic view along the roofs to the castle and the river. Walking tours of the old town include the church, the university buildings and the student prison, which is a genuine curiosity and separately ticketed.
Heidelberg, Germany
The Jesuit church stands on a quiet square just behind the university buildings in the old town of Heidelberg, a few minutes from the Church of the Holy Spirit and the market square, and entry to the church is free. The Museum of Sacred Art and Liturgy, housed in the church's galleries and treasury, charges a small fee and opens mainly in the afternoons in the warmer months; it is worth it for anyone interested in liturgical silver, vestments and religious sculpture.
