Much of Pilsen’s historic centre is built above an extensive network of underground tunnels and cellars. The entire system is said to stretch for around 20 kilometres, connecting cellars beneath the old town. Some sections extend several levels below ground.

In the past, these underground spaces served many purposes. Food and other supplies were stored there, while numerous wells provided the town with water. During times of war, the cellars also offered shelter and a place to hide valuable belongings.

Today, around 800 metres of the underground network are accessible to visitors, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history of the city.
