Fun and interesting tour!
This tour was highly recommended to me by my uncle, and I’m glad I listened to him. It was amazing and so cool how as soon as you go underground, you can’t hear anyone in the Old Town anymore and how it got colder. It was fun to walk through all those ancient passages with a local guide and see a whole other side of Prague.
Reminded me of the Roman catacombs
If you liked the catacombs in Rome, this is for you. You walk through all these medieval passages and see ancient rooms, like kitchens and prisons. It’s a great tour. Our guide, Veronica, was also amazing and very knowledgeable, and you could tell she really enjoyed her job. Loved skipping the line as well. We got in right away!

WANDER AROUND THE UNDERGROUND PASSAGES OF PRAGUE
Your guide will lead you to Prague’s Old Town Hall, through which you’ll access the underground. But before entering, look up to see the building’s Astronomical Clock. It is a multi-color, three-part, ancient working timepiece. Then, walk inside the Old Town Hall and descend into the underground. You’ll wander through stone passageways and chambers. Your guide will point out ancient infrastructure that has been preserved since the 12th century. You’ll spot houses, kitchens, tanneries, breweries, and even a pub! While exploring these tunnels, you’ll feel like you’re in medieval times!
VIEW THE DARK SIDE OF THE UNDERGROUND
As part of this walking tour, your guide will show you a medieval dungeon. There, you’ll see ancient, painful torture devices used during the period. This is where criminals and religious prisoners, mostly protestants, were tortured. Nearby, you’ll also find the prisons, and your guide will point out some ancient graffiti. If you look closely, you’ll see a game of Tic Tac Toe!
LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF PRAGUE
While exploring the underground, your guide will teach you the location’s history and answer all your questions. Did you know that in the 13th century, Prague’s street level was significantly lower than it is today? Because of the nearby Vltava river, flooding was a real danger, so earth was brought in to artificially increase the street level. Then, over the years, the city’s old street level became today’s underground!
ASCEND ABOVE GROUND, FULL OF UNDERGROUND MEMORIES
Step back onto street level and breathe in fresh air. The underground entrance is fairly central, so why not see some of Prague’s modern, beautiful architecture? The famous Charles Bridge is nearby, for example.

Did you know that a part of the Underground is used as a beer spa?
There’s one section of the Underground that’s been repurposed as a beer spa - a space where visitors literally soak in beer! Attendants prepare a mixture of beer, yeast, and hops for them to bathe. Of course, all while enjoying a mug of beer at the same time. The mixture has healing properties, and a 20- to 30-minute soak does wonders for the skin.
If soaking isn’t your thing, experience beer the classic way, by tasting it. A Prague brewery tour lets you sample a range of local favorites and learn how they’re made.
