    Beautiful Cathedral

    Seeing the exterior is already impressive, but the interior is absolutely beautiful. We took the audio tour so that we could walk around at our own pace while getting some information and history about the place. Going up to the Whispering Gallery is exhausting but...More

    Great views from the dome

    This cathedral is very beautiful! It is huge, and we got a free tour (after paying for admission). Admission itself is a little pricey for a cathedral, but it is worth it. You can climb the dome--there are there's stages. It's around 528 steps all...More

    What a building

    Fantastic architecture resulting in an amazing structure. The whispering gallery halfway up is a particular highlight.

    Not recommended for a low budget

    The church looks really impressive and beautiful from the outside. But I haven't seen it from the inside since the entry price was pretty high (especially since it is a church) and our student budget didn't allow it. Not recommended for people on a budget.
