★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Highly recommend seeing the terrace, it's less strenuous than you might think. If you're claustrophobic, be warned there is a short stretch with low ceiling ~170cm but well lit. If you're worried about heights don't be, the staircase is stone all the way and feels very safe.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The cathedral is impresive and definitely worth visiting. Normal ticket price was 13€ as of April 5, 2022. If you plan to come here by public transport (bus 389) beware that some hours are busier than other as the bus is used not only to go to Monreale (it is the very last stop). It has many stops within Palermo so it is heavily used by locals. I tried to go to Monreale on Monday at 13:50 and I could not fit in the bus (just like circa 10 other people who were waiting at the bus stop). Tuesday at 8:45 the bus was almost empty. The town has a few picturesque streets on the way from the bus stop to the cathedral.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Impressive. Beautiful interior, but also a nice wal along the exterior as well. Great view from the church's terrace.
The different styles inside make it a very interesting visit. Take your time to take in all the details.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only 6 miles from Palermo is the Cathedral of Monreale, the last and most stunning of the all Norman churches of Sicily and one of the architectural wonders of the Middle Ages. It was built in 1174 by William II to rival Palermo's Cappella Palatina. The exterior is fairly drab but is the cathedral's golden interior that takes your breath away. A vast cycle of mosaics covers the aisles, the choir, the transepts and all of the nave, vividly bringing to life scenes from the Old and New Testaments. Don't neglect a visit to the cloisters which boast 228 twin columns, each one different and many decorated with Islamic-inspired mosaics or reliefs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The cathedral itself is gorgeous and totally worth visiting, but definitely consider paying extra to get onto the roof! The little stairways through the walls are really neat and offer great raised views of Monreale & the cathedral itself. The diocesan museum is small but nice, and a quiet break from the crowds.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the nicest/most beautiful churches we have ever been too. Make sure to get the full experience, besides the church itself walking up to the top was great and you are rewarded with a spectacular view. Parking was tough but in the end we just parked our car anywhere there was a small spot, like a Sicilian would. Well worth the trip.
