A: This is a bit sneaky but it is all good. All you need is a backpack, just a general day bag. Bags are not allowed in the church, so you need to drop it off at a luggage storage place, they will give you a ticket, you then use the ticket to get into the church. It is good because you can skip the line, see what you want and leave. The church itself is free but there are a few small museums that need paying for inside.
