The ticket covers the cathedral and the crypt, and a combined version adds Dublinia, the Viking and medieval museum reached by the covered bridge across the street; the combination is the usual buy for families. Booking online saves a little. Free guided tours are included at set times through the day and are led by volunteers who know the building well. Attending a service costs nothing, and the cathedral choir, which sang at the first performance of Handel's Messiah in 1742, sings Evensong several days a week.
