Useful tips
- Senate Square, Market Square, and the Old Market Hall work well as a single walking route.
- In winter, the steps and the square surface can be slippery.
- When planning a walking route through the center, you'll likely group the cathedral steps, Senate Square, and Market Square together. As the official tourism information notes, the cathedral sits on the Senate Square axis, so it's easier to orient your walk around the square.
- Because it's an active church space with services and events, check the official guidance on the day to confirm whether interior visits are available, and keep your visit quiet indoors.
