Beneath the South Bridge from the 1780s, 300 metres long and built on 19 arches, lie spaces that were unknown to the public for decades. Mercat Tours has exclusive access and runs themed 75-minute tours — architecture and history, crime, or ghosts, depending on what you choose.
Entry is only possible with an organized tour — historical and 'ghost tour' variants are available. Online booking in advance is recommended, especially for evening time slots.
