What To Expect
Unirea Salt Mine
Slanic Prahova Saline is the largest salt mine in Europe. Now the old mine is currently open to the general public, being used as a leisure place. Slănic Prahova Saline is located at a depth of 208m, on an area of 53,000sqm and was opened for visit after 1970. The saline consists of 14 rooms, in the form of a trapeze, having an opening at the base of 32 meters, the tray, 10 meters and a height of 45 meters. The excavated space is 2.9 million cubic meters of salt. Underground is also a sanatorium for asthmatic patients who are provided specialized medical care. The ventilation of the mine is natural, with a constant temperature throughout the year of 12 degrees Celsius.
Located near Ploiesti, on top of the hill, Casa Seciu can be seen among the vineyards. Here, you can enjoy traditional romanian dishes while relaxing on pleasant rhythms and admiring enchanting landscapes, such as the panorama of Ploiesti and Boldesti Scaeni city, the surrounding hills, and on days with perfect weather, you can catch even the distant horizons of the "Teleajen Valley" and the Caraiman Massif with the cross at its top.

5.00Our driver was very informative and friendly. We asked lots of questions about the economy and general life in Romania and I walked away with an understanding of life for many in Romania. The Salt mine was a unique experience that I won’t forget.

5.00Alin was amazing. Communicated ahead of time, picked us up in lobby of hotel, and was a wonderful tour guide and driver. Made the drive go by quickly telling us about history of Romania and answering any questions we had. My mother was using a walker and he was assisting her at every opportunity. Salt Mine was awe inspiring, lunch was amazing with Bear meat, and Vlads tomb was serene. I can’t recommend Alin enough!
Amazing day out!

5.00What an amazing place! Could not believe how vast the mine was. Reading about how it was created was fascinating. We went by train, with just one change and it was a super easy journey from Bucharest. It’s a nice day trip. Well worth the visit. Allow several hours for the trip. Take into account that you have to catch the shuttle transfer from the ticket office to the mine and back. We only queued for about 5 minutes each way. There are activities to do inside as well as the Planetarium (not included in the ticket). We stopped off at the hotel by the train station and had a late lunch there as well.
Absolutely awesome guided tour of incredible places.

5.00This experience was perfect from start to finish. Our guide, Octavian, communicated with us before the trip to confirm pickup location & time and this was greatly appreciated. Octavian was extremely knowledgeable about Romanian history which he shared with photos throughout the drive. We arrived at the Salt Mine ahead of the crowds and Octavian guided us through the entire entry process and accompanied us into the mine. The mine was incredibly beautiful and we were provided with as much time as we needed to take it all in! Following this part of the tour Octavian drove us to Casa Seciu where we enjoyed a delicious winery lunch and views. Our final stop was at Snagov Monastery. This beautiful structure was definitely worth seeing. And, of course, we loved hearing the historical information about Vlad the Impaler that Octavian shared. An awesome day with an awesome guide!
The best tour guide!
