Disclaimer:

This tour includes approximately 2 ½ hours of moderate walking with many uneven surfaces to negotiate. While the cathedral is accessible to wheelchairs via the East Wing entrance (the main entrance is not wheelchair accessible), the tour is not considered suitable for guests who utilize a wheelchair or guests with mobility concerns. In the event a mass is being celebrated in the cathedral, the tour will not be able to enter. The cathedral is currently under rehabilitation, with an expected completion date of 2020, which may affect access to certain areas of its interior. It has a capacity of 1,000 people, and in the event this number of visitors is reached, access will be temporarily restricted. Thus, access to the interior of the cathedral is not guaranteed. The order of sites viewed or visited may vary.
