Ieronimus Tower (Old Cathedral)

Worth every cent and step! This is a very special thing to do in Salamanca! Not only did we get incredibly beautiful views from the top of the tower, we got incredible views from several sides of the cathedral and into the cathedral! A lot of fun going in and out of doors to new views. Such a surprise to be high above the nave of the cathedral. Also a blast being scared by the ringing bells while right under them in the bell tower! There is a "traffic light" to keep people from having to pass each other in the winding staircase. The exhibits are very good too. The 1566 book on Aristotle...wow. We booked our tickets on line for a timed entry and would recommend doing this as there were some groups going in also.

This is a fun bell tower to climb! It’s helpful that they have “traffic lights” to know if the stairs are clear. I can’t imagine trying to do this in peak season though?!

One of my favourite visits at Salamanca, wonderful view of insight and outside of the cathedral, and of course the surroundings (including the library). Interesting historical information though (currently) only in Spanish. The stairways are not suitable for young children or the infirm.

Great way to get a bird's eye view of the city and surrounding countryside. You get to see parts of the new cathedral as you weave your way to the top of the tower. The spiral staircase gets a little bit tighter the higher you go up but there are timers that let you know when you can go up or down. You can actually go into the bell tower while the bells are chiming. It's pretty loud but neat to experience.

Dont pay to visit the cathedral. Just pay 4 euros for this tower and you get to see both cathedrals from upper floor. Great deal

Absolutely amazing, the best thing to do on a long list of great things in Salamanca. Visit the Cathedral first then see it from a wonderful view. You can never normally walk on those balconies high up in cathedrals, bows your chance. Then on to roofs and real close ups of the stunning architecture on both the old and new(1700) buildings. Enjoy great views over the city. All for €4 pp. They have a great traffic light system for the narrow stairs so no trying to pass people. Use the free Wi-Fi to scan the QR codes. We really loved this experience, DO NOT MISS IT.

Excellent views of Salamanca. Nice to head up to the church bells and be amongst the Gothic spires. Well worth €4. But to be honest. The cathedral costs €10 to visit and seeing it is the same building, the cost really should be incorporated or they could do a combined ticket offer for €12.

The guided tour was in Spanish *only*, which was a huge disappointment. There was no information regarding this on the website. We paid 20 euros and didn't learn anything for two hours. The posters around the tower are also only in Spanish, pretty pictures, but alas, no english. There's also nada wifi for translation apps. The tower was nice architecturally, beautiful. But there was such tight spaces and like 20 people, so we didn't really get to spend much time looking in each area before moving on. In the middle of the tour they played some sounds and made a little light-show inside thr cathedral, would be nice if we actually saw something. There was actually not enough room for me and my partner, so we just stood there looking at all the phones of the other tourists. If this tour is for Spanish speakers only...Why advertise in English?? :(
