01

How it works

Buy one age-based ticket and use it once at each included space. This option deliberately excludes the Joanina Library and therefore has no library time-slot connection.

02

Purchase and activation

Purchase through the official University visitor portal or at the ticket office subject to availability, then present the issued ticket at every entrance.

Important information

Tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded. Saint Michael’s Chapel closes for Sunday Mass and occasional ceremonies, and the Cabinet of Curiosities can close without advance warning because of external constraints.
