Santa Maria de Leon Cathedral, Leon

We do not have enough time to enter inside of the cathedral, but I personally like what I saw from outside. I adore the building. Pros: 1. The cathedral has a wonderful architecture and decorations. 2. The location is strategic in the city center of León. 3. Entrance accessible for wheelchair. 4. If you can find a free walking tour online, it is worth to join to get more understanding about the building. 5. We must wear a mask before entering. Cons: 1. The parking is a bit far from the cathedral.

Stunning architectural Gothic cathedral in the centre of Leon. It does take your breath away….. But, why are the staff there so miserable? From the ticket office to the “shop” assistant, not a single smile or friendly manner throughout my visit. No discount for Pilgrims either, and when you ask for a stamp for your credential, more misery. Can I give the management of the cathedral some advice; go to Burgos cathedral for a visit and see how welcome pilgrims are made and how happy the staff are. Also how open all the chapels are instead of every chapel in Leon cathedral whinge behind huge metal gates. The cathedral inside and out is worth a visit, but it could be so much better..
