Perhaps we would not have visited the cathedral and tour had they not been "free" as part of the hop on/off bus ticket, but I am glad we did. The interior is amazing. The audio guide was of limited use to me- the system worked well, but just had way too much info at each "spot" than I needed. A precis version would have been great! It was a pleasant surprise to find access to the tour top was by a ramp for 95% of the way, rather then stairs, and the views were amazing.

Five middle-aged friends visited the cathedral as part of the hop on hop off bus tour, with entrance to the cathedral and tower included. When we arrived at the cathedral a member of the hop on hop of buses’ staff was waiting to greet us and explained everything to us. When we entered the cathedral, we noticed that there was a sign stating ‘No Photos or Videos’, so we put our cameras away, but soon spotted lots of other people totally ignoring the instructions, and that also the security guards were ignoring the fact that most of the tourists were taking photos, so needless to say we joined in. I’m really happy that we did as everything about the interior is just beautiful. However, there is one small problem – there is only one toilet for the males and one for the females, and the queues were long, so my advice would be to go in one of the many cafes around the cathedral before entering. After wandering around the innards of the cathedral for some time we went up the tower. Now it’s quite a climb up the slope (no stairs just a long slope to the top), but if you can make it up it’s totally worth it as the views are amazing.

My wife and I visited the cathedral during a cruise stop in Cadiz. There is a charge to enter (adults 7 Euros) but we felt it was worth it as the cathedral interior is impressive with various places to explore including a sizeable crypt and a bell-tower that is worth the effort walking the sloping paths to get to the top as the views over the city are wonderful. We were a little puzzled about the audio tour devices as the signs suggested these were included with the entry price however we were not handed anything and we couldn't see anywhere you could collect them, so we just did our own thing. The various chapels in the cathedral were interesting if a little odd due to the various depictions of children in an unusual setting but it was an enjoyable visit. The sign on entry said that photos were OK so long as you didn't use flash. The only niggle worth noting is the limited toilet facilities so prepare for a wait or go before you enter the cathedral. Overall it's well worth a visit.

This is quite a cathedral. Worth seeing as part of a tour otherwise most will have little or no meaning. The crypt is a must. Especially moving from the centre where the echo is contained to the outer edges where there is no echo. One of the most tastefully decorated I've seen.

Beautiful and serene. A little confusing as to entry times and line ups. All the doors were closed, but there were groups lining up at one side of the cathedral. They looked like tour groups so we didn’t bother. We decided to go to the tourist information to ask and were told the cathedral opened at noon. So we went back to that lineup, which was mostly people from cruise ships who had guides. Once we got to the front of the line, we found out it was the lineup to climb the bell tower of the cathedral not to go inside the cathedral. Charge was seven euros per person, but included entry into the cathedral at 2pm. The tourist info didn’t tell us, but their main goal was to sell guided walking tours that included entry into the cathedral, 25 euros/person. The climb up the tower is worth it for the views. Do not consider if you are in really bad physical shape or have been drinking. We saw many people turn around and others, struggling to get up with very red sweaty faces. It’s not that bad if you take your time. Mind the bells that ring every 15 minutes, it is deafening.

We came here Tuesday, June 14th, 2022 around 11:30am. We were inside for less than 30 minutes. But what we did see inside was neat! It was a pretty typical cathedral but it had a cool circular basement part, which was significantly cooler than the rest of the cathedral.

On our visit to Cadiz, our two family couples enjoyed a pizza lunch at the Desayunos Caicoffee outdoor seated restaurant in the Plaza de la Catedral directly opposite the Catheral. Following lunch we enjoyed our visit to the impressive Cathedral with it's unusual huge circular basement and also climbed the sloped internal walkway to enjoy spectacular views from the tower over the city. Worth a visit.

Cádiz Cathedral is the centrepiece of the old town and a real highlight. It’s actually relatively modern, being built in the 18th to 19th centuries, but this time period has adored its character some gothic drama. It cost €7 to enter the cathedral, crypt and bell tower. This felt good value by the time we left. I’ll start with the highlight, which probably comes at the end of the visit - the bell tower. It’s 40 metres high, but isn’t as arduous as it sounds because it’s a slope rather than steps. Imagine a stone helter skelter and you won’t be far wrong. Tip: the window cavities on the way up make for great portrait backgrounds. Anyway, the top offers fantastic views around Cadiz, across the rooftops to beaches and the port. Just beware of the bells ringing every 15 minutes! Back in the main body of the Cathedral… Each chapel has a long descriptive plate in Spanish and English, although it’s certainly not plain English! You’ll see what I mean - I challenge you to remember the beginning of the sentence by the time you get to the end of each (if you make it to the end). But the artwork is very interesting. Beware, there is only a single toilet for each sex, so there can be queues. The staff also use them, and have rights to jump the queue. Bizarrely, the toilets are just to one side of the cathedral - and you know how noise travels in the acoustics of a cathedral! Spend a few minutes in the crypt under the alter. Again, dramatic and interesting. But don’t forget to actually sit in the pews and appreciate the purpose of the Cathedral. And the peace that can bring in this beautiful building.

This is a beautiful cathedral in the old part of the city. There was some construction work in progress, so we couldn't see the entire thing, but it was well worth our visit. There is an incredible view of the coastline and city from the bell tower.

Stunning well worth a visit. The cathedral is just beautiful. Takes 30-45 mins to walk round and take everything in. It’s a sanctuary of calmness and serenity in a busy city. There is an entrance fee but it’s not much.
