The roughly 650 metres that are open represents just a fraction of Tábor’s underground passages, which are some of the longest in the Czech Republic and date back to the 15th century. The corridors arose by digging and linking multi-storey cellars under the houses in the old town and served mainly for storing food and beer. During large fires they also provided good shelter. The entrance to the cellars and the ticket office is located at the Town Hall and Museum.

Open: year-round, Admission: CZK 50, extra for a guided tour in a foreign language, CZK 200 for a group
