About Praça da Sé

The historic central square, marked by the massive neo-Gothic Sé Cathedral with its Latin-cross floor plan and hidden underground crypt. The square itself is usually buzzing with street vendors and protests. The cathedral interior and crypt are free to enter.

💡 Visit the crypt downstairs — it's less crowded and has interesting exhibits on the city's founding. Keep your phone in your front pocket here during peak hours.

Opening hours: Cathedral: Mon–Fri 8am–5pm, Sat 8am–12pm, Sun 8am–12pm & 1pm–6pm; crypt same hours
