1.Slănic Prahova Salt Mine Ticket and Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 790 reviews · 7 hours · from $55Our pick

Travel from central Bucharest to Slănic Prahova in an air-conditioned minibus, then explore Europe’s largest salt mine for about two hours. Expect huge trapezoid-shaped chambers, a salt lake, waterfall, museum displays, cafés, and family activities. English-speaking drivers such as Doina, Bogdan, or Gabriel handle the logistics.

“Driver/guide (same person) was kind enough to tell us stories about the mine and made a stop on the way there and back for WC/coffee on an only 2-hour drive. Was a really careful driver too. Salt mines were really impressive, and 2 hours are more than enough for photos, coffee, and admiring. The mines were really cold, so I recommend bringing warm clothes, not only a jacket, but something warmer!”

Travel from Bucharest to Slanic Prahova in an air-conditioned minivan with an English-speaking host such as Lucian, Narcis, Dan, or Rodica. Explore the enormous Unirea Salt Mine for about two hours, with free time for the underground café, games, and photos.

“The tour is a must do to experience the grandeur of the peles castle and see all the history associated with Bran/ Dracula castle along with getting to explore Brasov a bit. Our tour guide was patient and friendly in explaining as best as he could. As stated by many reviews, the tour does not include the entrance ticket for both places so I recommend buying them online for the date of your tour in advance and also maybe get the skip the line ticket for Bran as it’s pretty packed. The time is a bit stiff at each place and they try to be punctual so that should be…”

The driver, that identified himself as driver not guide, was really helpful and spoke english. We left on time. Arrived at 10:30. The mine is worth it. We left at 13:00. Around the mine and inside there are places to eat. We arrived to the city around 15h, since the group chose not to stop in the gas station.”

“The driver and guide Mihai is very friendly and accommodating. He communicated with me prior to the tour by email and phone. He is also a very careful driver and thoughtful enough to slow down or stop the car when I wanted to take pictures along the way. I decided to take this tour because I wanted to visit some rural areas away from Bucharest. Visiting the salt mine was a very unique experience. I was impressed by the scale of it. The salty air feels good in the lungs too. Lacerta winery is a small winery focused more on the quality than quantity. Learning the wine making process as…”

Travel from Bucharest by private vehicle to Unirea Salt Mine, 208 meters underground, where vast salt chambers hold cafés, play areas, statues, and more. Add a short stop in Prahova County for a lavender garden when open and a 500-year-old tree. English guide and hotel pickup included.

“Slanic salt mine is around 100 kilometres north of Bucharest which took just under 2.5 hours due to traffic jams and one 'comfort stop'. Naturally, there were traffic jams both coming and going - 'the Government will finish the new road ONE day - no set date'. Once at the site, we boarded a ‘mine’ bus and were taken underground to 208 metres below the surface – it took 7 and ½ minutes to get there from the car park. HUGE caverns have been dug out of the salt – amazing patterns and salt ‘waterfalls’ along with a souvenir shop, kids games, dodgem cars etc – all with a constant…”

Travel from Bucharest with a private English-speaking guide such as Idan, stopping at Herastrau Park and the Triumph Arch before exploring Slanic Salt Mine and its traditional village. The 6 to 8 hour outing includes transport, coffee, tea, water, and WiFi, but not the 9 euro mine ticket or lunch.

“Idan was a great guide! He picked me up outside of my hotel on time. He knew the route very well and all of the establishments we went to. He has a good personality and spoke Hebrew as well as English for the attendees. Was very knowledgeable and attentive to all of the questions and kept everyone engaged. The Salt mine was on my list of things to see while in Bucharest and I am glad I went to it. You will see many other cool things as well an old Romanian village with animals.”
