Activity itinerary

Salina Turda

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket not included
Leave Cluj behind for a journey into the depths of the Turda Salt Mine, widely regarded as one of the most breathtaking underground sites in the world. Your descent begins as you travel 100 metres below the surface, stepping into a massive subterranean world where history meets modern wonder. Explore the grand Franz Joseph Gallery and stand in awe within the colossal Rudolf and Terezia chambers. Guided by an expert, you will trace the millennia-old legacy of Transylvanian salt mining, evolving from the gritty manual labour of the ancient world to its current status as a spectacular architectural marvel. Marvel at towering salt stalactites and the echo of the "bell" caverns before enjoying free time to customise your visit. Whether you choose to walk among the crystalline salt formations or take a serene boat ride across the glowing subterranean lake, this is an immersive adventure unlike any other.

Sibiu

  • 2h 30m
Step into the heart of Sibiu, a grand citadel where medieval history comes to life. After lunch in a local restaurant, your guide will lead you to the iconic Liars' Bridge, where you'll uncover the quirky and dark legends that give this landmark its famous name. Immerse yourself in the local atmosphere as you wander through the three monumental squares—the Large, Small, and Huet Squares—each offering a unique glimpse into the city’s aristocratic past. For the ultimate perspective, you can choose to ascend the spire of the Evangelical Cathedral. From the top, you’ll be rewarded with a spectacular 360-degree panorama of Sibiu’s "houses with eyes" set against the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Carpathian Mountains. Get back to Cluj in the evening.
