Cons:

• "It is the 4th largest cathedral in the world, but that is where the “magic” ends."
• "A few minutes walk from the town centre but as its uphill we caught the bus. Very, very imposing building from the outside and simply stunning inside."
• "The cathedral staff on entrance were very helpful, I had a heavy pram with a toddler in and didn't realise there was a lift around the side so could've been signposted better."
• "Sadly the interior has lost its 'cathedral' feel. It has none of the somberness one would expect of such a revenant setting."
