Opening hours
The Cathedral is open for cultural visits almost every day, but the hours change with the day of the week:
- Monday to Friday: 10:00–18:30
- Saturday (and the day before a public holiday): 10:00–18:00
- Sunday and public holidays: 14:00–18:00
Ticket prices
- Cathedral (interior): €6
- Rooftops — the Cubiertas: €6
- Combined ticket, Cathedral + Rooftops: €10
- Reduced (over-65s, students up to 25, groups of more than 15): from €3
If you're deciding between tickets, the combined one is the value pick: for €4 more than the interior alone you also get the rooftops, which are the most memorable part of the visit.
The rooftops (Cubiertas) — go by time slot
The roof walk is the highlight: you come out among the Cathedral's domes with the old town, the port and Gibralfaro laid out below. Access is by timed slot, not free flow, so plan around these entry times:
- Monday to Saturday: 11:00, 12:00, 13:00, 14:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00
- Sunday: 16:00, 17:00, 18:00
Where it is and how to buy
The Cathedral sits in the heart of the old town, between Calle Molina Lario and Plaza del Obispo, a two-minute walk from Calle Larios. You can buy at the ticket office by the door or online in advance — the price is the same, and buying online mainly saves you the queue on busy afternoons.
See La Manquita with the old town
The Cathedral is a self-guided visit, but on its own it doesn't explain the streets around it — and the old town is half the reason to be here. If you'd rather have the historic centre walked and explained for you, with La Manquita as one of the stops, the guided route below covers exactly that.
