What travelers are saying
- LelaMilton Keynes, UK54 contributionsObviously it goes without saying that this place is absolutely spectacular.
If you have the chance to walk around the outside both in day and night time then do; it’s a very different feel.
If you can visit inside we found it beautiful late afternoon not too long before sunset. We visited on a very bright day and the stained glass is really beautiful.
When buying tickets make sure you go to the official site and disconnect from any public wifi as this seems to block purchases.
You’ll need to queue even if purchased Tickets in advance and go through security.
Bags have to be left in lockers to visit towers
