What to expect
Download the app and receive your access link three hours before you arrive. Once inside, you'll navigate the cathedral independently, triggering audio segments about specific features—flying buttresses, rose windows, interior chapels, historical events. The narration is informative without being exhaustive, giving you freedom to linger where you choose. Expect crowds, especially mid-morning and afternoon. The cathedral is cool and echoing; bring layers. You'll need your own headphones and valid ID. The experience works best if you're comfortable self-directing; there's no live guide to answer spontaneous questions.
Good to know
Pack headphones or earbuds. Bring valid photo ID (required since September). Dress modestly—shoulders must be covered. Cathedral entry is free; you're paying for the audio service only. Public transport reaches the site easily. Wheelchair and pram access confirmed throughout.
