Itinerary
Slănic mine is an old salt mine, located in Slănic, Prahova County, Romania, 100 km north of Bucharest. The salt mine is closed for extraction purposes, but is open for visitors, featuring a microclimate with natural air-conditioning and constant temperature and atmospheric pressure throughout the year. It is made up of two levels, named Unirea and Mihai. Many of the visitors come for its supposed healing effects due to the purity of the air. Throughout the mine you will find various types of equipment for recreational activity such as playground equipment and some ping-pong tables. One area is sectioned off and is used for medical patients with lung cancer to come and rest in.
Located on a small island outside Bucharest, Snagov Church is one of the most important religious monuments in Southern Romania. The small church, originally part of a monastery, dates since the medieval centuries when local princes endowed, strengthened, and enlarged it in their effort of supporting the Orthodox Church.

We enjoyed our trip greatly. The adventures to the Carpathian Mountains were breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient, and fun.
Me and my friends came to Romania and visited the Slanic Salt Mines and the amazing Dracula Tomb using the Day-Trip-Romania. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun during the trip. We enjoyed it. Everyone should try it.
We had a great experience in this trip. We are thankful for our guide. We all loved it and would recommend it to our friends and family.
Our trip to the salt mine was absolutely amazing! Alin was not only funny and attentive but also incredibly knowledgeable. He knows everythinggg about Romania! Honestly, elect him as Prime Minister. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole day, took great photos for us, and even recommended a lovely restaurant on the hilltops in the countryside with beautiful views, which he took us to. Although it’s an early start, we felt safe the entire time (even when we dozed off in the car!) And Alin’s communication was excellent from start to finish. If you want a guide who honestly feels like a friend, this is the one to book. 100% worth the price. Highly recommended! Thank you for having us Alin!
A wonderful day spent in Romania. I advise you all to come to Romania and book this tour to visit the largest salt mine in Europe and Dracula’s tomb. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, patient and funny.
