点评:The Old Cathedral is stunning, and is a must see in Siena. We purchased tickets online at the official website, and included the “Porta Del Cielo” (Gate of Heaven) walk in our ticket. We would definitely recommend doing this - it will only be available until 2027 as things stand, so worth taking the opportunity to ascend above the crowds of tourists for spectacular views of decorations/statues you barely notice from below. The walk also goes outside onto the roof of the cathedral, giving yet another perspective of this fabulous building. Note it isn’t a “guided tour” in the strict sense of the word - guides accompany you and do give some information, but are mainly there from a safety/security perspective - taking in the inner and outside views is the main reason to go!
Our ticket also included the Piccolomini Library (beautiful) and the cathedral itself, plus the museum and the Duomo Nuovo. Beware : at busy times the queue to climb the Duomo Nuovo can be long, and the rough queue times you are given outside are only to get inside the museum - once inside you can look around the exhibits before climbing the stairs to access the Duomo Nuovo but …… there is another queue here (for obvious reasons the number of people allowed on the wall at any one time are restricted) - so you wait again. In total we queued for over an hour (about 45 mins outside and 30 mins inside) - the views are spectacular once you make it but do make sure you allow time if planning to do this.
翻译:锡耶纳老教堂令人叹为观止,是锡耶纳的必游之地。我们通过官方网站在线购票,门票包含“天堂之门”(Porta Del Cielo)步道。我们强烈推荐大家体验这项步道——目前来看,这项步道只开放到2027年,所以非常值得抓住机会,登上高处,俯瞰那些从下方几乎难以察觉的精美装饰和雕像。步道还会延伸到教堂的屋顶,让您从另一个角度欣赏这座宏伟的建筑。需要注意的是,这并非严格意义上的“导览游”——虽然会有导游陪同并提供一些信息,但他们的主要职责是保障安全——欣赏教堂内外的美景才是此行的主要目的!
我们的门票还包括皮科洛米尼图书馆(非常漂亮)、老教堂本身、博物馆以及新大教堂(Duomo Nuovo)。注意:高峰时段,攀登新大教堂的队伍可能很长,而且外面显示的预计排队时间只是进入博物馆的时间——进入博物馆后,您可以先参观展品,然后再爬楼梯登上新大教堂,但是……这里还有另一条队伍(显而易见,同一时间允许登上教堂的人数有限制)——所以您还得再排一次队。我们总共排了一个多小时的队(外面大约45分钟,里面大约30分钟)——一旦登上教堂,景色确实壮观,但如果您计划攀登,请务必预留充足的时间。
