Visit Us
Each year, the Cathedral of Saint Paul welcomes over 200,000 guests and visitors from all over the world. The Cathedral is recognized as an historical landmark, one of the most prominent buildings in Minnesota, and as a center of spiritual worship.
Guided Tours
Be inspired by our Docent Highlight Tours, which occur at 1pm, Tuesdays through Fridays (except holy days, civic holidays, and during scheduled liturgical events). Tours are approximately one hour in length. A recommended tour donation of $5 per person may be made at the Tour Desk which is located near the narthex in the main church.
To ensure availability for individuals and groups, we ask that all visitors requesting a Docent-led tour contact the Tour Coordinator at 651.357.1327 or email tour_information@cathedralsaintpaul.org for a reservation. Inquiries will be responded to in a timely manner.
Self-Guided Visits
Visitors who would like to walk through the Cathedral utilizing our Virtual Tour (www.stpaulcathedraltour.com) should also contact the Tour Coordinator to confirm church availability.
Sorry, outside tour docents and leaders are not allowed to lead groups on guided tours of the Cathedral. Please note: As the Cathedral is an active place of worship, daily tours may be cancelled in deference to special liturgical events. All tours are subject to availability.
