Cathedral of St Domnius and bell tower ticket choices

Decide whether you want the tower climb before choosing your ticket, then ask the desk to identify every included entrance. The cathedral, crypt, treasury and tower are separate parts of the visit, so keep your ticket ready between them. Religious services may affect access to the church. If heights or steep stairs trouble you, discuss the climb with staff before buying a ticket that includes it.

Cathedral of St Domnius and bell tower tickets and tours

  1. Cathedral complex ticket

    Ask the desk which combination covers the cathedral, crypt, treasury and tower. Confirm every inclusion rather than assuming that all tickets admit you to the entire complex.

  2. Visit without the tower

    If you do not want to climb, ask which current ticket suits the interiors you want to see. Available combinations should be confirmed at the admission desk.

Does every ticket include the bell tower?

Check the current ticket combinations at the desk. Ask specifically about tower access and have staff point out the entrance before you begin.

Can I see the cathedral without climbing?

Yes, the church visit and tower climb are separate activities. Ask for the current admission option covering the interiors you want without the climb.

Is the bell tower suitable if I dislike heights?

Consider your comfort with steep stairs and exposed views before buying. Ask staff about the climb, and choose the cathedral interiors if you prefer to stay below.
