What you do and don't pay for

Entering the church costs nothing, and inside is the Regina Martyrum dome, painted by Goya. Paid visits are sold on the Zaragoza cathedrals' website:

If you plan to go up the tower and see La Seo, the combined ticket saves you €4 on buying them separately.

Rules for the tower

A glass lift takes you up to the viewpoint, 62 metres high according to the Aragón tourism board. Places depend on capacity, so it's wise to book. Monday to Thursday it opens 10:30–14:00 and 15:00–19:30, and Friday to Sunday 10:00–19:30. Last entry is 30 minutes before closing.

The Museo Pilarista shuts from 13:30 to 16:30, so on a morning visit leave yourself enough time.

Museo Goya

It's at Calle Santiago, 28. A €14 ticket includes the collection and temporary exhibitions, with a time slot. The virtual reality experience adds €2. Solo Goya. El arte de ver is on until 10 January 2027.

It closes on Mondays, and on Sundays it opens only until 14:00. The Aljafería does open on Mondays, so with two days in town, save the palace for that one.

A guided tour, if you speak Spanish

GetYourGuide sells a tour of the basilica in Spanish. It makes sense if you want to hear the church's history. Otherwise, just walk in.
