We visit the biggest Salt Mine in Europe!
Along with its beauty and history, the Slanic Salt Mine is also one of the biggest therapeutic sites in Romania, a two-level mine featuring a microclimate with natural air-conditioning and constant temperature and atmospheric pressure throughout the year.
Going further up the mountain, we have the opportunity to take a glance at how Romanians lead their lives in the Carpathians in picturesque villages full of traditional decorations and household items.

Educational and truly impressive!

5.00Our guide, Vladi, picked us up at the hotel and we headed toward the salt mine. Along the way, we passed through many small villages, which was interesting to see and gave us a glimpse of local life. Once we arrived, it was finally time to enter the salt mine. We had heard it was big, but enormous is a much better word. The scale and atmosphere of the place are absolutely unique. I highly recommend visiting this salt mine — a fascinating and unforgettable environment.
Enhanced visit to the Slanic Mine, lots of history included!

5.00This tour was fantastic. We had originally booked the Sinaia tour but as it was a private tour our guide Vladi gave us the option to change based on our preferences. Vladi was amazing at giving us the history of Romania relevant to the places we were visiting or driving through, we learned so much! He ensured we were comfortable at all times and helped us with ticket purchase at the mine. The Slanic mine is well worth a visit, unlike anything we'd seen before! Getting to drive up into the mountains, see a beautiful dam and lake, and even sample local honey were bonus experiences. This style of tour means that you learn the context for it as well. Highly recommend!

5.00It is a spectacular space, something that should be visited and enjoyed at least once in your life, the magnitude of the mine dwarfs you as a person.
Our guide is the reason...

3.00Our guide is the reason we loved this trip. He went out of his way to get a reservation for us to see the Parliament which we though we didn't have time for. The salt mine is interesting and seeing the Carpathian Mountains we nice too.
Great out of the box planning

5.00We found out the day before that the salt mine was no longer available to be seen on our day. Our guide, Jony, put together a wonderful alternate itinerary, especially including Mogosoaia Palace. We had a wonderful day with a very good guide.
Amazing experience
