★★★★★6 months agoI highly recommend this cathedral, essentially The Luminescence show. During the day, cathedral is really nice and beautiful as well. It is free during the day.

★★★★★9 months agoThis is a totally astonishing building. It’s Bill Tower is located separate to the cathedral in this massive square, one of the largest in Europe. The church itself is a massive space. It has the most glorious windows and wonderful atmosphere. It is free to visitand there is a ticketed illuminations presentation. This presentation also has the option of a live choir, providing the music.
