Head beneath the Old Town to explore these famously atmospheric underground chambers located in the arches of the South Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally built in the 18th century to house taverns, workshops, and storage spaces, the vaults soon became notorious for housing the city’s less savoury characters. Join a historical or, if you dare, a ghost tour to hear tales of the city’s darker past, discover the secrets hidden within the arches, and maybe even spot a spectral resident!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a genuinely atmospheric and historical experience and a truly unique way to spend a dark evening in the capital.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\t
