Timisoara day trip to Corvin Castle and Turda Salt Mine: guided castle rooms, 120m underground, private air-conditioned ride.
“Our guide, Sergui, was fantastic and had excellent knowledge of the area, including the salt mine and castle. I highly recommend this outing.

A larger and more spacious vehicle would have made the experience better.”
