Which ticket for Catherdral in Zaragoza?

Hi,

I'll be visiting Zaragoza in April. One of the main sights is the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar. There are a number of ticket options. The complete ticket includes La Seo Cathedral, Museum of Tapestries, Torre del Pilar, Rosario de Cristal and the Pilarista Museum.

Can anyone recommend all of those? Or perhaps, which ones do you think are not worth it?

Thanks

Both cathedrals are definitely worth it, the tapestry museum was good, the observation deck wasn’t that good but I think you go up with an elevator so going up was easy. I don’t remember visiting the others.

I won't be there until May but I was planning to buy the complete ticket and hope we get through it all. We've got 3 nights there so I think we will.

I was not impressed with the cathedral.

I enjoyed the:
Origami Museum
Firefighter’s Museum
Palacio de la Aljafería

We didn’t want to see the museums, tower, etc. The basilica by itself was free to enter and that’s what we went into.

While the exterior is pretty, I was underwhelmed by the Aljafería Palace and was glad I only had to pay the retired person’s entrance price.

Another vote for the origami museum - absolutely stunning!

For us, the Aljaferia Palace was awesome and unmissable while, conversely, the Basilica was dark and unimpressive. In September 2019, the Basilica entry was free/donation.

For the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza, you generally need a ticket for general admission. Options may include guided tours, audio guides, or tower access. Check the official website for the latest details.
