It was so beautiful, inside and outside. Be warned however, if you want to get to the top, you have to go up alot of stairs, over 200-300 steps, but the view from the top is well worth it. Underneath the Cathedral is the crypt where over 300 years of Royal Family members are layed to rest. Take the time... More

The details on the outside are captivating. We didn't go inside because we were limited on time and there is an entrance fee, but... More

Very interesting on the inside and you get a good overall view of the city. Be careful about when you go as the main Cathedral area is closed for prayer many times throughout the day. There is an exhibition inside but all of the signs are in German. More
