I am currently in the SdC Cathedral and trying to access its Dome.

Can someone advise me how to get up to the Dome?

I have asked the Cathedral’s security guards, sales clerks in the gift shop, etc. No body can tell me.

Thanks
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Last November there was a roof top tour. I did it in July 2016 and saw they still had the tour available in November 2018. Tickets were through the Visitors Office. Show your credential and receive a little bit off the price of the tour.

My understanding is that the rooftop tour is canceled until the renovations are done. @dfox let us know what you find out and, if that tour is still on, if it goes to the dome. I did an interior tour last fall of the clerestory level. It was a great tour, with some interesting views and sections. But we didn't go as high up as the dome.

Good luck!

(2019) only 2 weeks available! St. Jean PDP - Pamplona, then Sarria - SDC with the family,
Really wanted the rooftop view when I was there last month. Security told me, in Spanish, it was closed during the restoration. Confirmed in English at the gift shop.

Roof top tour is great and the underground tour is even better

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hello, my shoes are pretty down and worn out now with holes in it. As it is rainy these days I won’t make it to Fisterra with dry feet. Can you recommend a good shop for shoes in Santiago...
