It is located on 5th Ave. where the stores feature NYC’s most dazzling holiday window displays, and near the Rockefeller Center, with its enormous Christmas tree and ice-skating rink.

The cathedral developed this Christmas audio tour from script to final production edits. It’s an ever evolving labor of love to communicate as much as we can about St. Patrick’s Cathedral to those who wish to learn. We hope this tour will entertain and educate our millions of returning visitors from around the globe. During the months St. Patrick’s Cathedral was closed, we had the opportunity to overhaul and upgrade the entire audio tour. We added hundreds of new images and audio segments. The tour is offered in English, Spanish, Italian, French and Portuguese.
