The discovery tours have fixed start times and go first to the medieval cellars of Domplein 4, which also contains wall remains of the Roman fort 'Trajectum'. Here you watch a film, an exciting journey through time covering 2,000 years in 10 minutes! Then you really dive ónder the Dom Square, where you will search for the stories of the Dom Square yourself in the dark with a smart torch. One of the highlights is the devastating storm of 1674, which you will experience in person
