Stunning Cathedral - good value - The ticket office person was so friendly. We both were prepared to pay the 10 euro entry but as it was both of us, he was prepared to offer 2 tickets for 16 euros. This gave us access to both the museum and cathedral - with the bonus of the Bienalle Art show appearing in the museum at this time. The Cathedral did not disappointment. Amazing artwork with explanatory notes beside each, and awe inspiring roof lines. The way in which the candlesticks and the respective doors, were decorated were truly inspired. Stunning! The museum, unfortunately we didn't have time to see but from the little we did see, looked like it was curated simply and effectively.
