Church of Our Saviour tower tickets and climb advice
The climb changes character as you go: enclosed stairs lead upwards before the route reaches the outside of the spire. Think about the descent as well as the view when deciding whether to enter. You need to manage steps under your own power, and the exposed section leaves little room for hesitation. Check current ticket arrangements and weather-related access before walking over.

Tips for your visit
- Wear shoes with a secure grip and keep your hands free for the stairs.
- Leave bulky bags elsewhere so they do not obstruct the narrow route.
- Check tower access again on the day, as weather can change whether the climb operates.
Church of Our Saviour tower tickets and climb advice
Does visiting the church include the tower climb?
Treat the church interior and tower as separate visits with different access arrangements. Check the official site for tower admission and the church's visitor hours.
Can the tower close because of weather?
Yes. Wet or icy conditions can prevent access, and other weather conditions may also affect operation. Check the official site's current information before traveling specifically for the climb.
Is there a lift to the tower viewpoint?
No. Reaching the viewpoint requires climbing stairs, including the exposed section around the spire. You must also be able to descend the same stair route.
Should I climb if I am uncertain about heights?
Consider the outside staircase carefully before buying admission. The exposed route can feel difficult even after the indoor stairs, and descending still requires managing the steps.
