Tower access is €36, and it buys one tower. You choose at booking between the Nativity façade, which looks east across the city, and the Passion façade, which faces the centre. You cannot do both on one ticket and you cannot switch on the day.
Prices
- Basilica with one tower: €36.
- Guided tour with tower: €40. Guided tour without: €30.
- Students and under-30s €34, over-65s €28, under-11s free.
How the ascent works
A lift takes you up and you walk down. Allow about an hour and a half for the whole visit. The tower has its own time slot, separate from your basilica entry, so read both times on the ticket.
Who cannot go up
- Under-6s are not permitted. Ages 6 to 16 need an adult with them.
- The towers are not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
- Bags and backpacks go into lockers before you ascend.
One clause worth reading before you pay the extra €10: there is no refund if the towers close for weather or operational reasons. You keep the basilica visit and lose the tower.

Sammie O publishes Germ Trips, a travel guide covering hotels, restaurants, airport transfers and chauffeur services. The guides aim for practical detail and a clear recommendation rather than an undifferentiated list. Where a town has no good option, the guides say so and point to the nearest one that does. Guides are AI drafted. A small number have been checked against official listings, and those say so on the page.
