Ocnele Mari Salt Mine — Attraction in Ocnele Mari

I had an amazing experience at Ocnele Mari Salt Mine, one of the best in Romania to visit.

Finding a parking spot is a little bit challenging as there are not enough spaces but there can be found allong adiacent streets.

Thr process pretty is straight forward: you buy the ticket from the payoffice which is 30ron for an adult and then ambark in the bus.

The bus is clean and leaves as soon as it is full with seated people.

The salt mine is very large, being split in multiple huge rooms (more than 50), where you have multiple activities to do : admire multiple statues and admire their design, being made entirely out of blocks of salt eat at the restaurant which is of self service type play games as : football, basketball, ping-pong, mini-golf, etc. each of them having their own room visit the church which has a nice design and a lot of very very old artifacts etc. More to see youselves

The excavated rooms have some great patterns, also the floor being just a little bit slippery.

The mine is great when visited during summer, being very cold inside of it so I advise you to bring a sweater or a jacket.

I would recommend 100% to...

There are parking places right at the ticket office. (Free parking on weekdays, like we were)

Once you get off the bus, to the entrance, you need to check your ticket at the tourniquets to enter.
