We visited the salt mine, and it was a really nice experience. When we arrived, we parked the car, and they took us down to the mine in a van together with other visitors. The ride takes about 10 minutes through the tunnel. The salt mine is very well looked after and nicely maintained. For those who want to stay longer, there are plenty of things to do — comfortable sofas for reading, different games, and other activities to keep you busy.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing experience at Slănic Salt Mine! I visited this unique place with a guided tour, and it was an incredible experience. You can easily find tours on the GetYourGuide app, and a local tour company will take you there comfortably. The salt mine is huge and very impressive — it feels like another world underground! It’s also quite cold inside, so make sure to bring a warm jacket or sweater even if it’s hot outside. The tour was well-organized, and the guide explained everything clearly about the history and health benefits of the salt mine.
Such a mind blowing site. The size, scale, depth is nothing but amazing. It is organised well. Park your car at the near by car park, 3 minutes walk to the ticket office, a quick shuttle to the mine, and WoW. From the short walk into the main hall, it takes a few minutes to see the scale. Prepare a good 2 hours. Great tasty salt, shop prices are more then reasonable, the restaurant was priced well and cheap. A must visit.
The overall experience is impressive, however, when you look into details, some more work needs to be done. Especially the lighting, probably some shades or spotlights might improve the feel of the space, instead of having neon lights or heavy bulbs.
Absolutely stunning! The scale of this place is unreal, it feels like a completely different world. The parking and ‘’entrance’’ is actually off site so after buying the tickets, which are fairly cheap for this experience, you get into a van that drives through the town and to the actual mine entrance. The way down is through a tunnel snaking and winding down to the amazing depth, with occasional tunnels branching off on the way. There are some fun activities available inside, toilets and a gift shop too. If you bring some warm clothes you could safely spend half a day in here. The parking is paid but it’s a fair price. A must see in Romania!
