Tarragona Cathedral Guided Tour in English - Beautiful cathedral, cloister and museum. Our tour guide Pablo was fantastic and talked us through hundred of years of history, he stopped regularly to ask if we had any questions but he covered everything so well that we couldn’t even think of any!

Picturesque Cathedral - An impressive Cathedral, both inside and outside. You are given a map as you purchase your ticket to help with exploring the inside of the Cathedral. There is also a QR code for easy access to a website giving further information about the Cathedral. Tickets were €14 each.
There were many chapels to look at, as well as the treasury, cloister gardens, archaeological route, Cyma procession of the rats (something to look for if you visit) as well as many other items. I’m glad we visited.

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.

Instructive. - Beautiful cathedral that encompasses several activities.
Obviously, the cathedral itself, with a nice architecture. And it has one of the most beautiful organs I have ever seen in a cathedral, with open doors that are magnificent pictures. The open chorus is also noteworthy.
But you can also see the diocesan museum and a beautiful cloister, I really liked it, not to mention the excavated archaeological remains and previous constructions.
That makes the visit one of the most complete.
But the ticket price, €12, seems a little excessive.

Nice church👍🏻 - Very clean, beautiful church. A lot of things to see. A lot of memorials to Catalonia’s history. 12 euros is a good price for a visit, less than 1 hour.

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.
