You can imagine the importance of the cathedral only by the fact that in 1903 the St.Elizabeth Cathedral was built near the train station to cover it from the views of everybody coming to the city by train. It is true masterpiece and there are excursions around the Cathedral the nearby yard and the crypts. More

If you have time, take a walk through a gorgeous park, away from the center. A good looking cathedral with views of the city if you can get past the gates. We didn't go inside the cathedral, just walked around the grounds for a bit. There is a lot of history to learn about the place, if you're into it. More
