The entrance fee for the main area of Monreale Cathedral is typically a €4 contribution per visitor, which is paid in cash at the entrance[5]. Entrance is free for children under 18 years old, while adults need to carry a valid photo ID[4].
Additional parts of the Monreale Cathedral Complex—including the Cloister, Terraces, Chapel, and Diocesan Museum—require separate tickets. For the Cloister of Santa Maria La Nuova, the full price is €7, with a reduced rate of €3.50 available to eligible categories; several groups qualify for free entry, such as people under 18, teachers, journalists, disabled visitors with one companion, and specific cultural or academic groups[3].
Ticket packages combining various areas of the complex are available, but the standard ticket usually does not include all sections such as the chapel, museum, and roofs; visitors may need to pay extra for access to these areas[2].
You can book tickets online (which may be higher priced due to booking fees), or buy on-site, but it is advisable to purchase online in advance during busy periods to avoid long waits[1].
Note: The cathedral may adjust hours and ticketing on holidays, special occasions, or cultural events.
