City hall underground keeps buildings of XIII century and one subterranean street.
Since XIII century ground level in Prague has risen up per a few meters. Fighting with frequent floods, the locals started add some more earth - a short time later the first floor of many houses went down under the ground.

How to do?
1. The City hall is situated on Old Time Square. Buy a ticket (250 crowns per adult), it includes tower and underground cave visit.
2. The only possible way to get to the underground is with a guide - he has keys to the main entrance. Then you can separate from the excursion group following the building scheme (you'll get one at the entrance for free). Look at prison cells of the Middle ages (letterings of former prisoners are still can be noticeable on the walls), executioner's room and wells for criminals of the gravest crimes. Walk through the underground corridor that 800 years ago used to be a street.
