Lots of history to discover, family friendly - Clear recommendation! There is much to discover that also interests young children. Defeated dragons, goblins, angels, and much pictorial history. There is a free audio guide that you can download after purchasing your ticket. All the staff are extremely nice!

Stunning & Beautiful - We did not use skip the line as we paid on our day in Tarragona. Where to begin for €11. This was the best money I had spent on my trip. The cathederal was vast, beautiful & very hostirical. There were areas inside & out, that would take your breath away. There is an incline to get to here, but again you will not be disappointed. Not adding alot of photos, so it doesn't spoil the fun.

Beautiful - We loved it! The tickets were a bit expensive but when we saw it we realized why. There are so many beautiful glass stained windows and the gardens were so amazing. Another cool part was this area where the original other part was.Definitely worth the price

Amazing and superb-must see - Situated in the heart of the old town this is a real jewel. So many areas to visit and the Cloisters especially so.Some original frescoes make very interesting subjects.

Fantastic - Well worth a visit if you are close. Myself and my partner spent a good hour in the cathedral and really enjoyed it. Lots to look at and read about. Also has a nice gift shop on the way out. If you enjoy history, religion and culture then give it a go. Doesn’t cost much to get in.

Visiting the Basilica at the end of the day - After a day spent exploring the Roman ruins we arrived at the Basilica. What a wonderful place to sit snd soak up the beauty of the architecture, the huge pale stone columns, the vaulting and the late afternoon light streaming through the windows. The Cloisters were another revelation. There were a couple of groups that visited, but in between its was extraordinary peaceful. Would have loved to have heard the organ being played and the choir singing. I am sure the acoustics are extraordinary and what a setting.

A visit to the Romans - The visit of this building is like a thousandfeuille: one passes successively from Christianity to Roman through the visigoths and the Middle Ages... the site began with the Romans and we can see the evolutions through visits admittedly a little disjointed but which allows to go back in history.
The Cathedral itself and its Collections are quietly realized by visiting the heart, the cloister and the rooms around it: nothing extraordinary except the tapestries of Catalan Gothic.
A Trip Tip, be against the tide of groups, if you have one, go beyond it and visit further, you can always go back!
When you go out, don’t miss the fork in front of the shop, your second visit to the Romans begins: personally, the part I loved the most!
Have a nice visit to you

The price has gone up too much - In a short time, the entrance went from €5 to €8 to reach €11.
Worst of all, the attention of someone who was at the window on a Monday afternoon in January. A very rude girl who, between her treatment and the price increase, made me not want to enter.
