Destination Old Market - A Medieval Promenade

Step into the streets of Old Market as characters from the height of the renaissance appear before your eyes—plucked from the past and dropped into the present!

Rub shoulders with bewildered characters as they navigate their once-familiar streets now transformed by time. Listen to their tales of bustling market days where fortunes were made and lost through clever bartering and sharp wit.

This extraordinary walking tour won’t just tell you about Old Market's history—it brings you face-to-face with the very people that lived it.
