インサイダーヒント

Wear comfortable shoes as the stone floors can be hard and slippery in certain areas.
The best photo spot is near the west portal with its richly sculpted facade bathed in morning light.
Avoid weekends if you prefer a quieter visit, especially during summer tourist season.
Climb the spiral staircase to the tower for panoramic views of the city and fjord, but be prepared for a narrow and steep climb.
