Znojmo Underground
Znojemské podzemí
A network of medieval cellars and passages up to 27 km long beneath the old town of Znojmo. It is one of the largest underground labyrinths in Central Europe and can be explored with a guide.
The Znojmo Underground began in the 14th century, when townspeople dug multi-level cellars beneath their houses to store wine and food. The cellars were later linked together and could be used as shelters and defensive passages in wartime. The visitor entrance is at Slovanské náměstí. The classic route takes about 45 minutes and includes the 'Ghost' scenes with lighting effects and mechanical features. There is also an adventure route, which requires booking, where you wear work clothes and a headlamp. Tickets cost about 200-300 Czech koruna. It is cold underground, so bring a jacket even in summer.
Opening hours
April–October about 09:00–17:00; winter open weekends and by appointment
