What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the basilica and head straight past the queue. Inside, expect high ceilings that draw the eye upward, natural light filtering through coloured glass, and surfaces covered in symbolic carvings. Your guide will point out load-bearing columns designed like forest trees and show you how light and form work together. There's no rushing; you set the pace, pause where things intrigue you, and ask questions. Two hours gives you time to wander the apse, nave, and side chapels without feeling hurried.

Good to know

Dress modestly as this remains an active Catholic church. Bell tower access (400+ steps in narrow stairs) costs extra and requires children over 12 and adults with confident mobility. All ground-level areas are wheelchair accessible. Bring comfortable shoes. Public transport connections are nearby if you're arranging your own arrival.
