    Cool 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.

    I come to Prague at christmas but it was fully booked whilst I was visiting! I come back with my daughter in may and we come here straight from the airport! The staff where lovely and even gave us recommendations of other places to visit while on our visit!
