What travelers say:

St. Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral dedicated to the Apostle Paul. It is located at the top of Ludgate Hill, the highest point in London, and is the residence of the bishop. Inside, everything seems much bigger and bigger. It's just huge! St. Paul's Cathedral is one of the most famous creations of Sir Christopher Wren.It is believed that every self-respecting tourist includes a tour of the cathedral in his cultural program, but many are limited to outdoor admiring. Although there are several reasons to look inside.First, pay attention to the floors of the cathedral. Follow the gaze up the marble white walls, the mighty columns through the arched vaults, and your eyes will see a real work of art — the ceiling. The main feature of St. Paul's Cathedral is the dome designed by Rehn in the form of an observatory connecting heaven and earth. Being right under it, it is impossible not to appreciate its beauty and size. Whispering Gallery — involves climbing 257 gentle steps. This is the wide base of the dome itself, and visitors can walk around its entire circumference. In addition, if you whisper something into the wall on one side of the dome, then the listener on the other side can hear a whisper. Hence the name of the gallery. The miracle of acoustic design from the 17th century still works to this day, even if the space is filled with a crowd of noisy schoolchildren. But, undoubtedly, the best view awaits you if you decide to climb to the topmost gallery.Golden Gallery is located at a distance of 85 meters, or 530 steps from the ground. It is advisable to climb not at the peak of the tourist influx, since the stairs and passages here are very narrow, and it is quite difficult to move with a large number of people. But the spectacular views are worth the trip.
