There is no separate car park for the cathedral treasures. When you visit, please use the free public parking spaces nearby, on the cathedral square, on Hoher Weg or in the car park serving the Rathauspassagen shopping centre. The free Düsterngraben car park is right by the cathedral.

The cathedral is fully accessible via visitor center and north portal.

Currently, only parts of the exhibition on the cathedral treasures are fully accessible, along with the anteroom to the refectory and the chapter house. The rooms where the tapestries and robes are exhibited can be accessed via short flights of steps. The entry to the historical treasury is mediaeval and not fully accessible.

Photography – for private, non-commercial purposes only – is permitted in the permanent exhibition without a flash, tripod or selfie stick, as long as the artworks are kept safe and the photographer maintains a distance of least 50 cm and treats other visitors with consideration. No photographs may be taken in rooms and cabinets containing textiles, such as those where the tapestries and robes are exhibited.

This permission does not apply to third-party rights. Permission is required to photograph or share images of content protected by copyright or personal rights.

Individual works which may not be photographed or filmed on the instructions of the owner are labelled accordingly.

Photography and filming may be prohibited in special exhibitions. The assistants will be happy to inform you.
