Sarah P
★★★★★3 months agoCool short visit! I’m really glad we stopped by here. Neat little underground tour and history of alchemy. They have some cool artifacts and it all feels like you’re inside Hogwarts. Not too pricey so it’s worth the tour.

★★★★★3 weeks agoOnly available to visit with a guided tour which lasts about 30 minutes and the tour goes every hour, however I would suggest to try and book at least a day in advance, and you can only pay in cash. The tour and the space itself is very interesting, the guide was very welcoming and answered questions in detail. I would definitely recommend visiting this place
