The cathedral now has a spectacular sound and light show that allows you to see how the church might originally have been painted. It allows you to see the Gothic wonder in a whole new way.

The city has also got a very extensive light show, much of it very clever and unexpected, all through the upper and lower towns. You follow a well marked path from one lit building to the next, and there is a brochure/map to use as well. In fact, the light tour is so extensive that it is hard to get both the cathedral and the whole town show done in one night.
