Description

Be amazed by St Paul's Cathedral, a national treasure and an unmissable icon in the heart of London!

You will discover St Paul's Cathedral, a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Rebuilt in 1675, this Cathedral is a place rich in history and a strong symbol of resilience for Londoners. This monument has survived numerous fires and narrowly escaped the Nazi bombings during the Blitz.

Thanks to your ticket, you will enter this exceptional venue that has been the site of defining national moments: you will recall the history of the state funerals of figures like Admiral Nelson and Winston Churchill, as well as the iconic wedding of Lady Diana and Prince Charles.

You will look up towards its impressive dome, which culminates at 110 meters, the second largest in Europe. Your visit will lead you through the five spectacular levels of the building and its three circular galleries. You will first access the famous Whispering Gallery, located 30 meters from the ground, where the magical echo will carry your slightest word.

The ascent will then continue to the Stone Gallery, and finally to the Golden Gallery, situated over 85 meters high (528 steps in total). From there, you will enjoy a stunning 360° panoramic view across the entire city of London.

After admiring the heights, you will descend into the vast and historic Crypt. You will not miss exploring the final resting place of illustrious figures of British history, including the tombs of Nelson, Wellington, and Churchill. Your ticket also includes a 90-minute multimedia guide, available in nine languages, to enrich this visit with expert commentary and archive images.

Les clients ont été globalement satisfaits de leur visite de la cathédrale. Ils ont apprécié la vue panoramique, l'audioguide pratique et la rapidité d'accès grâce au billet coupe-file. Certains ont mentionné que l'accès au dôme extérieur était fermé et que les dernières marches étaient étroites.
