The 15 Best Slănic Prahova Salt Mine Day Trips

29 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.9 average  ·  from $45

Two hundred metres under the Prahova hills there is a salt cavern big enough to lose a crowd in, sitting at about 12°C all year. These 15 trips are mostly ticket-plus-transfer, which is the sensible way to do it; take a coat and compare on pickup point and how long you get underground.

Visit Europe’s largest salt mine from Bucharest with round-trip transfer, museum time, and a 2-hour underground walk with lake and waterfall views.

There is one 10 minutes stop on the way there (Wasn't enough for toilet, because there was many people on the gas station, but there is nice small coffee shop 5togo!) and one stop on the way back (large gas station). Tickets for the mine is included. There is bus to mine and takes about 10-15 minutes to get underground. So count that time on the way back! Mine is great, nice air to breath. I wish there were 2 hours for us to explore the place and the trip was 8 hours instead of 7. Just not enough time for the mine, because you have…”
