The architecture is simply breathtaking, and every part of the cathedral reflects its rich history. Climbing to the dome rewarded us spectacular views of the city.
The location is absolutely beautiful and exceptionally well maintained. Everything was spotless during my visit, and it’s clear that a lot of care and attention goes into keeping the area in excellent condition. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, making it a truly enjoyable place to spend time.
Going early is the best decision because it gets very crowded by midday. It's a bit expensive for an entry ticket but for the level of history and the preservation of the building it is a top notch spot.
The length of visit was about few hours which was perfect. Security at the entrance is strict like an airport but the staff moved everyone through pretty fast.
