It was surprisingly awesome! A little hidden gem in Prague :) It was only the 5 of us who went there, and we couldn't speak czech, plus a czech guy, and our tour guide was so awesome that he held the tour in both czech and english for us. I cannot guarantee that the same will happen with everyone, but we had a really great experience here. The tour itself is also very interesting, especially if you like old industrial plants. We even went on a little boat ride underground, and walked through the old sewers. It was really awesome.

It was an unexpectedly awesome visit! A word of caution - check the website first to see tour opening hours, they are peculiar. I could never imagine that sewers (ok, it’s a purification facility, but you get the idea) can be so beautiful! All the curves, red brick, weird machines and light sources - all of it gives you some steampunk dungeon vibes and love it! The architect (who also designed countless other historical sewers across Europe) not only created a functional and hi-tech (for that time) space, but also aimed to make it pretty - all in hopes to improve conditions of workers, who were doing this.. eeeh poopy job. The tour was awesome: very informative, detailed and fun. All machines are well preserved, some are even still functional and atop of it all you can also swim across the underground sewage on a little ferry! Big thanks to our guide and the facility. Totally recommend. Keanu Reeves was shooting here, that means you should visit it too!

A surprising location, as it's not just a museum but also a place for the locals to gather at the back. The open day was great and we got to visit all the interesting spots, mainly the underground areas. All was well maintained, they prepared a bistro with an interesting spread of snacks and drinks, and the chimney climbing and rappelling were so popular that the spots were all sold out.

Absolutely the best place to go in Czech!! You have to get a tour with nick, the best tour guide in Czech with awesome hair and fit!! Very edible look. Please raise his wage, or give him a tip he desperately needs it 😔The other visitors were awesome and super nice as well, love them peeps! I would love to live in the this place, so cozy and nice. Pls don’t steal the last fan 🤠 it’s the last one left! The water is so crispy and turquoise, looking a lil bit too drinkable.

Splendid industrial heritage building. Great tour underground including a little boat trip in the abandoned water treatment plant. Knowledgeable staff plus documentation provided in several languages. Definitely worth it, make sure not to wear your best sandals ;-) and wear something warm as it is quite cold in there.
