- Go down the stairs to the crypt, because that is where the royal sarcophagi are located, and most tourists only stop upstairs.
- Bring a 1 euro coin for the lighting in the sacristy display cases, otherwise the details of the golden reliquaries will remain in semi-darkness.
- Photography of the interior is allowed without flash, but the crypt is too dark for good photos, so focus on the altar and the Renaissance grilles.
- Combine the visit with a walk through Albaic├нn and the cathedral, since all three places are within a five-minute walk of each other.
