While St. Patrick’s Cathedral was closed, we upgraded this tour. We added new stops and hundreds of new images. During the holiday season we also add a copy of our famous Christmas concert for guests to take home as our special gift. The audio and musical performances featured in the tour are by our famed choir and orchestra.
This official tour is available in English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese.
*We also offer a kids version of the audio tour
(currently available in English only).
St. Patrick's Cathedral is not a museum
St. Patrick's is an active Catholic church. It is likely that a mass or special occasion ceremony will be taking place during your visit. These events may require portions of the cathedral to be temporarily roped off. Please speak with a security guard or usher to find out when those areas will be re-opened for viewing. Guests are welcome to return to complete any incomplete tour, in part or in full.
Gold or Black Pass
Reservations make the difference.
The Gold Pass offers guests the ability to reserve the date, time and equipment for touring.
The Black Pass does not include the reservation feature. Reservation times and tour equipment is subject to availability. (Best for on-site / day-of purchases)
