If you can, visit on a weekday morning around 10 AM. It was much quieter then and I got great shots of the stained glass without crowds in the way. Trust me, it's worth it!

Don't skip the crypt area! I almost did because I thought it would be uninteresting. It has some cool historical artifacts and gives you a different vibe of the Cathedral.

I suggest bringing a light jacket or sweater, as it can get a bit chilly inside the Cathedral, especially if you visit in the colder months. I wasn't prepared and regretted it!

I recommend checking if there are any special events or exhibitions happening during your visit. It can really enrich your experience, and it’s usually posted on local tourism sites. I felt I missed out!

My advice is to bring a good camera. The architecture is gorgeous, and you'll want to capture every angle. Also, take a moment to explore the surrounding area, it's less touristy and really charming.

Don't skip the small park right next to Temple Neuf. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. I found it a lovely place to unwind after exploring the temple's architecture.

If you're planning to explore the tunnels, bring a flashlight. It’s dim in some areas and can be a little tricky to navigate. I wish I had one - it would've saved me some hassle and made it way more enjoyable.

My advice is to take your time and really soak in the history. I rushed through my visit, but there's so much to see. Plan for at least 2 hours, especially if you want to grab some great pics too!
