Unusual and fun underground walk - Our acquaintance with Lviv began with a tour of the dungeons. We thought it would be quite unusual and exciting. We visited 3 dungeons: the Jesuits, the Dominican cathedral and the old pharmacy.
In the first as our guide told, when they were excavating this particular part, they unearthed a lot of human remains, because before people were lowered into the basement and there they rotted.
Of course, I had to walk on the bent ones. Because it is known from history that ancient men were as tall as today's woman, and women were even shorter.
Here you will see a coffin, clothes of monks, a model of the city etc.
After the tour, we went on our own to the Lviv coffee mine, also underground.
Daylight our eyes didn't see that day haha
In general, it is very interesting, informative, unusual. I highly recommend this tour and guide Olena.
