The cathedral sits on Domstraße, close to the Rathaus courtyard where the artists' Christmas market sets up. It opens every day at 08:00 and stays open to 18:00, and to 19:30 on Sundays after the evening Mass. Rehearsals and service preparations can close it early, so check the weekly notice on the cathedral's website.
Time a visit for 12:05 from Monday to Saturday. The cathedral holds a short organ meditation then, and a public guided tour of about an hour usually follows at 12:30. The Dominfo office on the Domplatz handles tour questions and is open from 09:30 on weekdays and Saturdays.

- Go at 12:05 on a weekday or Saturday for the short organ meditation.
