Canterbury Cathedral sits at the heart of England's story with 1,400 years of history to explore within. Secure your entry ticket to explore the mother church of the worldwide Anglican Communion and the seat of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Enjoy a handset and audio guide to enrich your visit. As you explore the cathedral, discover architecture that’s been crafted through hundreds of years of building and rebuilding, altering with each change of style within the medieval period, but its roots reach even further. Admire colorful stained-glass windows, some of which are among the oldest in the world. Plug in your headphones and listen to your own personal audio guide to hear stories of royals, monks, and martyrs as you walk under the cathedral’s high ceilings. Your entry ticket also gives you access to the historic Chapter House with its incredibly detailed ceiling, the atmospheric Great Cloister which was walked by monks for centuries, three public gardens including a reimagining of a medieval Herbarium, and up to three exhibitions around the site. In 597 A.D., Pope Gregory the Great sent a monk, Augustine, to England as a missionary to spread Christianity across England. Augustine established his seat (or cathedra) and monastery in Canterbury and became England’s first Archbishop. When miracles were said to have taken place around the site, the cathedral became one of Europe’s most important pilgrimage centers, as most famously told in Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Following a fire in 1174, parts of the cathedral were rebuilt in the new Perpendicular Gothic style.

Die Cathedrale in Gänze zu sehen war beeindruckend. Der Audioguide könnte mittels moderner technischer Methoden deutlich leichter durch die einzelnen Bereiche der Cathedrale führen. Bei jedem Programmpunkt zur Karte zurückzuscrollen ist schon fast so mittelalterlich wie Teile der Cathedrale.

Foi uma ótima maneira de saber mais sobre a Catedral e sua história, de uma maneira independente, que permite a cada um imprimir seu próprio ritmo

If I had known that I could buy the audio guide at the cathedral itself, I wouldn't have made a reservation. It was cheaper. Otherwise, it was a good experience at the cathedral.

Quite expensive. I think it was more expensive than at the checkout. It was particularly disappointing that the audio wasn't in Dutch.
