Overview

Visiting a mine is not something unheard of. Visiting a salt mine may already be a bit different, as there aren't salt mine in all countries. But visiting a salt mine with an underground amusement park is definitely something you'll not do every day. Be curious, be excited and you will be amazed! Turda salt mine is the answer for that!

And to bring the equilibrium to the day, visiting the village of Rimetea will enchant you with the peacefulness of the mountains, where the pace of life is so much different from the life in the big metropolis.

Last visit for the day is at Alba Iulia Vauban style fortress, a very special place both for Romanians and Hungarians.
