Embark on an exploration of Europe’s largest network of subterranean passages with our comprehensive Odessa Catacombs tour. Our story begins with ancient mines and quarries dating back two centuries, moves to locations known for criminal activities and ends in a WW2 partisans’ base, all hidden beneath the surface of beautiful Odessa.

Our subterranean trip begins with a visit to authentic mines and quarries, or ‘wild catacombs.’ Here we’ll learn about the methods used by miners two centuries ago to construct these tunnels and even have the chance to marvel at artifacts from that period.
Next, we delve into stories of Odessa’s underground criminal activities. Learn how smugglers utilized catcombs to their advantage and be entertained by tales of the local underworld. We’ll also explore the spaces that served as quarters for WW2 resistance fighters during the city’s occupation, offering a glimpse into their subterranean living conditions. Finally, once we emerge from the catacombs, we’ll take a moment to view the village above and the route we’ve traversed beneath it.

We invite you to join us on this captivating exploration, as we resurrect the long-lost tales of Odessa’s underground city.
