For bird’s-eye views, climb 208 stairs to the top of the tower of Heidelberg's famous church, constructed between 1344 and 1441, which was shared by Catholics and Protestants from 1706 until 1936 (it's now Protestant).
The church is often used for concerts (adult/child from €10/6), including half-hour organ recitals (€4/2) held at 5.15pm Sunday to Friday from June to September -- see www.studentenkantorei.de for a full calendar of events.
