It was difficult to understand exactly which sights the 7.00 euros (+1.50 euros) we had booked online were for. Should be more transparent - also on the internet. Is the 30 minute visit to the cathedral only for groups? All a bit confusing... Otherwise everything worked out fine, we were thankfully able to bring forward the time slot for the highly recommended visit to the cloisters.
