What to remember

The Curia decided to increase the prices for a special authorization we have inside the Basilica: ours are the only tours allowing people to stay an entire hour inside the Basilica admiring the mosaics sitting in the central nave
Some days, due to church services or exceptionally high tides, the access may not be possible. In this case the tour can be held the following day or reimbursed
For the visit of the Cathedral is needed proper clothing (no shorts or tank tops in the summer) and for security reasons backpacks are not allowed
