Cathedral of St Tryphon tickets and what to check

Begin by looking at the cathedral from the far side of its square, where you have room to take in the twin towers. Inside, divide your attention between the main church and any treasury or upper spaces open to visitors. Ask what your admission covers before starting, particularly if stairs would prevent you from reaching part of the display.
