Turda, near Cluj, is the cavern with the Ferris wheel and the rowing lake. Slănic Prahova, closer to Bucharest, is the bigger room. Both sit a couple of hours from a city and both are cold enough for a jacket in August. These 13 trips are compared on transport, entry tickets and how long you actually get underground.
