Details

Explore the largest Gothic-style Catholic cathedral in the United States at your own pace. Located on Fifth Avenue opposite Rockefeller Center, this marble-clad landmark opened in 1879 and takes up an entire city block.

The self-guided audio tour is narrated by Cardinal Timothy Dolan and provides deep insight into the building's architecture and history. Highlights include the towering twin spires, the 9,000-pound bronze doors, and a Pieta sculpture three times the size of Michelangelo’s. Visitors can also admire the 21 altars and the intricately designed Lady Chapel.

Expedited entry and disposable earbuds are included, though bringing personal headphones is recommended. The audio guide is available in English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and French, with a special version designed specifically for children available in English.
