King's College Chapel is the image of Cambridge: Perpendicular Gothic from the late Middle Ages, an enormous stone fan vault and 16th-century stained glass. With your ticket you visit the chapel and stroll round the front court and the lawn that slopes down to the river, on The Backs.
Tickets are bought online by time slot; those bought in advance are discounted, and the reduced rate closes every Sunday night for the following week. The chapel closes to tourists during rehearsals and services. To hear its choir, go to Evensong: it is a religious service, not a visit, and it is wise to check the days on the college website.
