Interesting living museum that still is an open pharmacy. The milieu is mixed up with quite a lot of the 19th century and gives you a good feeling when looking at the statues of Aesculapius and his daughter Hygieia More

I am a pharmacist and yet didn't find that too interesting. The best feature was the alchemist's cave. More

Interesting place to visit. Underground stuff dating back centuries. Secret chemical mixture rooms come to life in this unusual location in city centre. More

Nice to have a short look but not more than that. There is a nice collection of tools from the Austrian time. More

A nice quick tour that costs only 5 hyrvinas, the Aptek Museum offers a glimpse into the past with old pharmacy bottles and apparatuses. Barely a 20 minute walk through, do this as part of a larger day of sight-seeing! More

We were again, accompanied by our knowledgeable guide Ivanka, who toured us through each room and explained their significance. If you are interested in the history of pharmaceuticals and alchemy this... More

We only went into the first room from the entrance, which we were told is still a functioning pharmacy, but apparently this museum is much larger and has quite a few rooms attached. This pharmacy has been around since the 18th century and it was reflected in the section we were in, with beautiful old woodwork, old jars holding the... More
