• Climb in pairs or more, since the towers only let in groups of 2 or more, with at most 30 visitors up at once
• Last tower entry is half an hour before the church closes, and nobody goes up during midday prayers from 12pm to 12:20pm
• Puzzle booklets for kids cost CHF 1 at the welcome desk: a 20-riddle quiz from age 8, and a drawing and coloring booklet for ages 4 to 7

Basel Minster is the city's former cathedral, now a Reformed Protestant church, built of red sandstone with colored roof tiles and two slim towers. Kids can climb both the Georgsturm and the Martinsturm, about 250 steps each up a narrow staircase, for a wide view over Basel.

Below the Georgsturm, look for a picture from 1372 of Saint George fighting a remarkably small dragon.
