St Thomas’ Church, Strasbourg vs Strasbourg Cathedral
Two churches in Strasbourg. St Thomas’ Church, Strasbourg has no online ticket listed; Strasbourg Cathedral 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.
Saint-Thomas stands just south of the historic centre of Strasbourg, on the way from the cathedral to the Petite France quarter, and it is free to enter. It is the principal Protestant church of the city and is sometimes called the Protestant cathedral of Alsace. Walking tours of the old town, which is listed by UNESCO, often pass it between the cathedral and the covered bridges, and the better ones go inside for the mausoleum and the organ. River boat tours glide past on the canal.
Strasbourg Cathedral stands in the heart of the old town, on Grande Ile, which is listed by UNESCO, and entry to the cathedral is free. Two paid experiences are worth planning: the astronomical clock performance, with the procession of the apostles at half past twelve, requires a ticket sold on the day at a side entrance and the cathedral is partly closed to other visitors during it;
