Unlike many of the great cathedrals of Europe, St. Patrick’s Cathedral is an active church. There is never a fee for admission or required time slot for entry. As an active religious institution, there are no tour companies allowed inside St. Patrick’s or docent tours. The only tour offered by St. Patrick’s is “The Official Tour” as presented by Cardinal Dolan and Fr. Enrique Salvo.
The TourPatron app contains both a digital guest pass and the code of conduct for St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Please see Guest Pass tab for more info.
Our self-guided tour requires a digital device (like a smartphone or tablet) and a set of headphones.
We are happy to provide a complimentary iPad with disposable headphones to all tour guests. (subject to availability)
