An impressive building, standing in pleasant gardens, the cathedral itself if free to enter and surprising subdued inside, in terms of decoration. For 15 euros, you can buy a ticket which allows entry to the roof, crypt, Bishops museum and another museum, which is over the road from the cathedral. The views from the roof are fantastic but anyone with mobility issues may struggle to get up and down. The larger of the 2 crypts is well worth a visit and overall, a definite 'must do' in Palermo.

We visited Palermo for 1 day by cruiser and had great chance to see the cattedrale di Palermo. Walk around and take few photos. Sit inside and pray. Some areas are not accessible, but it was not an issue.

The cathedral is an impressive and impossing blend of Arab, Norman,Gothic and Baroque. The inside shares some of the same influences, there is much to see. There are different chapels, crypts and what’s called the treasury. You can also go on the roof but it’s very narrow. The park outside is a great place to people watch.

I thought this church was quite beautiful. It’s very large and the interior is very impressive. I like old churches and this one did not disappoint. There is also a display inside for a priest that was killed by the mafia for giving people hope.

The outside of the cathedral is very beautiful. Be sure to get a ticket to climb up to the roof. There are two levels you can explore on the way up. Be sure to do the lower one first since you cannot go back. The stairway in the tower is quite medieval. This is quite the experience and the views are great.

When our group arrived, this cathedral was closed, so our guide could tell its history only in the courtyard, highlighting its unique architecture! The church was built in 1185. Certain elements of the corner towers were added in the XV. and XVI. century and during the late XVIII. century it got its neoclassical appearance. During our previous visit, we were inside the cathedral and were somewhat disappointed with its interior - but we saw the four main sarcophagi of the Norman rulers of Sicily.

We walked to the Cathedral from the cruise ship, which was an adventure in itself. This architectural gem is magnificent from the outside, and even better on the inside. However, they allow too many tourists at the same time, so it’s crowded. I opted to climb up to the roof for 7 euros, which was just ok. Nice views, but just a narrow walkway that you spend maybe 10 minutes on. The four crypts at the bottom are just so-so. Still, worth the walk through historic Palermo.

The cathedral is beautiful on approach and inside. We paid a very reasonable price (€12) to see the tombs, sacristy and the roof. The roof was a short steep climb but good views once you got up there. Good for getting your bearings of the city.

Beautiful Cathedral that is free to visit. We skipped the paid portion including the museum. The building and grounds are fantastic. Had lunch nearby at a charming restaurant called Ristorante La Galleria.
