About

Nine centuries of coronations, royal weddings and state funerals have happened inside these Gothic walls, and Poets' Corner alone is worth the entry fee. The free audio guide is worth taking slowly, the nave and cloisters reward unhurried walking more than a quick lap. Book online a few days ahead, the ticket desk queue on a summer morning can eat an hour on its own.
