yes. its 5euros. you go down a deep narrow sprial staircase which seems endless.then you walk in a dark narrow corridor dripping from the roof for about half a mile where you get to the start of the bones.tours are not guided so wait for other visitors to go down with you, you dont want to go down all by yourself.there are hundreds of thousands interrned there,each section has a common toumbstone.the walls are built with bones & decorated with skulls.when you emerge they even check your bags to ensure you didnt try to take a 'souvenir', Sam
