Se debe visitar, muy interesante, la visita está dividido en dos partes la primera la galerías y la segunda el museo es mucho más interesante el museo. Solo se visitan unos cinco kilómetros de galerías de un total de 320 km. Se desciende a ciento cincuenta metros. En el interior se pueden ver cavidades impresionantes de unos 30 metros de diámetro herramientas de los mineros y artesanías hechas íntegramente en sal

El tour en español es a 1140. La visita dura 3 horas, las 2 primeras es el recorrido estándar, al cabo del cual hay 2 alternativas: salir o continuar bajando al museo salino. Lo más interesante es la tercera hora, en la que se recorren los túneles y las salas bajo 150 metros, en una saludable atmósfera enriquecida con componentes salinos, similar ala que hay en la orilla del mar batido por las olas, que se percibe lo bien que sienta respirar ése aire. La mayoría de la gente no hace este tramo, que es el mejor. La primera parte tiene los túneles ventilados, careciendo de aire enriquecido.
