Walk through its charming Old Town, where Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture reflect its long and diverse past. Visit key landmarks such as St. Michael’s Church, Banffy Palace, and the Matthias Corvinus House, the birthplace of Hungary’s renowned king. After the city tour, continue to the Turda Salt Mine. With a history spanning over 2,000 years, this former mine has been transformed into a unique underground attraction.
