Salina Veche Salt Mine

Om

Operating in the early 20th century, this massive salt mine has stopped extracting salt and started accepting visitors. Spread over two levels, visitors are brought into the mine in minivans. The constant microclimate, rich in aerosols, has made it a popular destination for people with respiratory issues - there’s even a private section for patients with lung cancer. The mine’s massive halls create an impressive atmosphere, feeling almost superhuman in their scale. Along with the sheer scale of the mine, visitors can enjoy a several sculptures carved out of salt, a mining museum, and even play a round of ping-pong.
