Once you reach the terrace, you'll see how the city's bustling streets, historic landmarks, and modern skyscrapers converge into a tapestry of sights that's truly awe-inspiring.

After your time on the terrace, the tour continues as you venture into the heart of the cathedral itself. Led by the guide, you'll learn about the cathedral's storied past, from its construction to the present day, and uncover the secrets held within its walls.
