Europe’s great cathedrals represent centuries of architectural ambition, religious devotion, and artistic achievement — from soaring Gothic masterpieces to baroque extravaganzas and Romanesque fortresses. These practical visitor guides help you navigate the continent’s most significant ecclesiastical buildings with essential information on ticket prices, opening hours, and what genuinely deserves your attention inside. Coverage spans from Spain’s monumental Seville Cathedral (the world’s largest Gothic cathedral) and Toledo Cathedral (with its stunning altarpiece and treasury) to Germany’s magnificent Cologne Cathedral and Berlin Cathedral, Austria’s St Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, and lesser-known gems like St James’ Cathedral in Innsbruck.
British cathedrals feature prominently, with comprehensive guides to York Minster, Durham Cathedral, Canterbury Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral, and Ripon Cathedral in North Yorkshire, plus essential advice on how to get free entry to St Paul’s Cathedral in London. You’ll also find detailed information about Scotland’s St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, Portugal’s Lisbon Cathedral, Prague’s St Vitus’ Cathedral (including how to access the spectacular St Wenceslas Chapel), Belgium’s Antwerp Cathedral (home to Rubens masterpieces), and Norway’s Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim. Each guide provides the practical details — prices, hours, parking, accessibility — alongside insights into what makes each cathedral architecturally or historically significant, helping you appreciate what you’re seeing beyond the obvious grandeur. More European cathedral guides will be added soon.
