Access
Nave is levelTreasury is up stairs

Most of what the ticket buys is up the stairs in the treasury. It is a working cathedral, so services close it to visitors without notice.

Visiting

Two towers that do not match are what people photograph, the mismatch being the rebuilding showing, with a screen between them at the top. Inside is plainer than the front suggests. The parts worth the ticket are up the stairs, where the treasury keeps silver and icons behind glass, and there are medieval frescoes surviving in patches on the walls below. Half an hour covers the church unless the treasury holds you, and it might.

Know before you goA working cathedral: services close it to visitors at times, and shoulders and knees are expected to be covered. As of August 2026.
