    (Detailed review below) Ambience - 5/5 Accessibility - 5/5 Cost - 5/5 Ambience - A lovely cathedral centrally located to all the big touristy spots. Lovely sculptures, and stained glass. Accessibility - I don’t recall any steps and in some areas there are slight ramps. Cost - Absolutely free! Tip - Lots of opportunities to take photos of all the carvings, sculptures, the centre altar etc. Very beautiful cathedral with high roofs and loads of light streaming in.

    A very impressive cathedral, well worth a visit. There's quite a bit of parking on the surrounding streets but these all require a ticket. There's a large car park only 4 minutes walk
