Important Information

Check your email the day before the tour for important information. Skip-the-line tickets to Matthias Church are valid all day. You will skip the line at the ticket office but not at the entrance and security checks. Admission is for the church, excluding the tower. Please note that visits during masses and other special events are limited. It is a walking tour, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and dressing appropriately for the weather. We're not afraid of the sun and rain, so the tour will take place as planned, regardless of weather. For the best experience, we limit your group size to 1-25 guests per guide, so that everyone can get personal attention, ask questions and hear commentary clearly. We will arrange additional guides for larger groups, so the price will be higher.
