A beautiful buidling and well worth a visit. Interesting memorial plaques for Canadian and Australian forces from WW1. The interior is wonderfully light, even on a dull day.

I would recommend that you visit this place as it is beautiful, but probably needs a couplke of million dollars spent on it that they obviously dont have, the statues are equisite, i wish someone would help them out with the cleaning, as it could be breathtking I am sure

Very large and impressive but looks a little worse for wear in places. Has an macabre 'treasure' - head of John the Baptiste on display inside. Did not climb the towers as no tour due to rain. Take a walk around the canals and gardens nearby. Very pretty and well worthwhile. Lots of restaurants along the river which would be... More

the sheer scale of what was built with Middle Ages skills is awesome. How was some constructed without cranes? The inside on the other hand was underwhelming. Rather grey and feeling unloved. Lots of dust. No clergy to be seen. No admission fee and no general donations box towards upkeep.

The sheer scale of the cathedral and the fantastic stained glass windows take your breath away.

I came to Amiens after visting Paris. I was blown away how magnificent this cathederal was! It is so much more beautiful and awesome than Notre Dame in Paris! A MUST SEE!!!!! It is a Gothic Cathederal.

I had a free hour in Amiens before my train back to Paris and had already planned to visit the Cathedral in that time - what a good decision! It is huge and it's almost too hard to get far enough back from it in the tiny square to take it all in. The intricate stonework and statuary on the... More

We were told this is a place to see, so we took a detour on a trip from Brussels to Paris on the last day of our vacation. Wow, were we glad we did, but wish we would have had more time. They close at 6 pm. I believe it is the tallest interior of the gothic cathedrals, and viewing... More

Largest Cathedral in France. This is just breathtaking. Remarkably well restored/maintained, this UNESCO World Heritage site is well worth the trip. Sheer size of this building is just amazing.
