Travel in comfort with air-conditioned transport and enjoy a seamless experience as you explore three remarkable attractions: Salina Turda, MINA – Museum of Immersive New Art, and the Steampunk Transylvania Museum.
Salina Turda – A Subterranean Marvel of History and Modern Entertainment
Step into the inspiring depths of Salina Turda, a remarkable fusion of history, geology, and modern-day attractions. Once an essential salt mine dating back to Roman times, today it stands as one of the world’s most spectacular underground destinations.
As you descend into this vast subterranean world, you’ll discover the Rudolf Mine, an immense hall measuring 42 meters high, 50 meters wide, and 80 meters long. Here, a panoramic elevator offers breathtaking views of the cavernous space, which also houses mini-golf, bowling, and a Ferris wheel, creating an unexpected yet mesmerizing underground amusement area.
Next, explore the Theresa Mine, a breathtaking bell-shaped chamber filled with brine, where you can glide across the dark, mirror-like waters in a boat ride unlike any other. Then, breathe in the pure, mineral-rich air of the Gizela Mine, known for its therapeutic microclimate, particularly beneficial for respiratory health.
Finally, step back in time in the Crivac Room, where you’ll find an original wooden winch (crivac), once used to haul salt to the surface, a testament to the ingenuity of early miners.
With an audio guide included, you’ll unravel the fascinating stories behind this underground masterpiece, making it an unforgettable highlight of your journey.
MINA – Museum of Immersive New Art
Next, step into a world of digital innovation at the MINA Museum of Immersive New Art. This cutting-edge space brings together contemporary art and technology, offering mesmerizing interactive installations, digital projections, and sensory experiences. Wander through rooms filled with vibrant lights, 3D illusions, and immersive audiovisual effects that challenge perception and spark the imagination
Steampunk Transylvania Museum – A Retro-Futuristic Escape
Your final stop is the Steampunk Transylvania Museum, a hidden gem that transports you into a world of Victorian-era fantasy and industrial aesthetics.
