There is no separate car park for the cathedral treasures. When you visit, please use the free public parking spaces nearby, on the cathedral square, on Hoher Weg or in the car park serving the Rathauspassagen shopping centre. The free Düsterngraben car park is right by the cathedral.

 

 

The cathedral is fully accessible via visitor center and north portal.

Currently, only parts of the exhibition on the cathedral treasures are fully accessible, along with the anteroom to the refectory and the chapter house. The rooms where the tapestries and robes are exhibited can be accessed via short flights of steps. The entry to the historical treasury is mediaeval and not fully accessible.
