Note that the Basilica is both a museum and a church. For this reason, very occasionally, due to funerals or exceptional masses, the tour may be canceled or postponed. We will of course notify you as early as possible.
From October to April please make sure you are dressed warmly as it does get cold inside the cathedral.
There are a few steps to enter the church and to reach the crypt. The Necropolis museum has special access and elevators for disabled people. Please notify us so we can make the arrangements with the staff there.
