The Experience
What your day looks like
Until now it has been visited by over 40 million tourists from all over the world and in 1978 it was inscribed in the UNESCO list of world's heritage sites. Along the tourist route, you will have a chance to visit around 20 gorgeous chambers and see saline lakes, tools and machines used for the process of mining, and works of art: dozens of exquisite sculptures and bas-reliefs carved in salt - human hands' creations. Thanks to the guidance provided by licensed Salt Mine guides you will learn about the history of the mine and the lives of many generations of miners and their principle of hard work. There are 800 steps to walk down (350 of them will take you to reach the depth of 135 meters underground, the steps are wide and there are handrails) and at the end of the tour, the lift brings you back up.

This tour is really just transportation to the Salt Mine and then the Salt Mine operates the tour. Our driver was prompt and professional and he stayed with us until our Salt Mine guide took us into the mine. I highly recommend!
