Salzburg · SALZBURG SALT MINE TOURS
8 reviewed
Salzburg means salt castle, and the mines that made it rich still run tours deep into the mountain: miner’s overalls, wooden slides and an underground lake. These are the best salt mine tours from the city, most of them pairing Hallein or Berchtesgaden with a scenic drive, priced and timed so you know what the day holds.

Private Hallstatt day trip from Salzburg with Lake District drive plus 5fingers or Salt Mine, hotel pickup, and guided time in town.
“Our guide was waiting for us atthe allotted time. We appreciated the flexibility in that we originally thought five fingers would be a good option but changed our mind to go to the salt mine - no problem! The vehicle was a sort of minibus but quite comfortable for the trip. The whole day was amazing. Our guide knew exactly where to go and what to see. Admittedly we benefitted from a (rare) clear day but the lakes we visited and the views were terrific. The salt mine might lack the adrenaline punch of Five Fingers but turned out to be a very interesting experience and tour was in English…”
