In recent years, the city has opened several sections of extensive underground tunnels to the general public. This tour takes around 60 minutes to explore several cellars situated 6m to 8m below the Cabbage Market, which has served as a food market for centuries. The cellars were built for several purposes: including to store goods and to hide in during wars.
