Visited a lovely church, coffee shops and had a walk around the town of Sala. Lots of snow and very few people! Shops closed on 24th and 25th, a few coffee shops open 26th.

We had a really great time at the Silver mines. Our guide was very knowledgeable,enthusiastic and spoke excellent English. He was also not a bad singer.It is suitable for people of all ages and it is only about 1/2 hour's drive from Stockholm Vasteras Airport.

Fantastic day at the mine. Great to cool down in the Swedish Summer heat too. The elevator down the 155 metre shaft is a fantastic unique experience and our host Joachim was just fantastic, particularly how he demonstrated the mines acoustics with his very impressive rendition of Summertime. Great day and we will be back.

My husband and I visited the silver mine one Sunday afternoon. We decided to do the 155m tour and it was an interesting way to dpend a couple of hours. Our tour guide was excellent and shared lots of facts/history. He also sang by the underground lake which was beautiful.The mine also has a shop, musuem, restaurant and an abtiques market near to it. I think that if you are interested in local history then this is a fun way to spend a couple of hours.

Interesting bit of history set in a great location. There is not a huge amount to do in Sala (imho) so the silver mine makes for an interesting day out. For kids it is quite appealing as you do get the whole mining feel with helmets etc...

We went on the 155m tour, the mine is stunning and our guide Jacob was fantastic! Especially the visit in the echo chamber was magic...

Myself and my girlfriend stayed in the underground bedroom recently and did the 155m mine tour beforehand.I am an old hand at show mines, as I have an active interest in mining heritage. The 155m mine tour is amongst the best I have been on. The guide was knowledgeable about the mine and its history and gave the tour in both Swedish and English. The highlight of the tour was the part where she sang in the worked out stope that acts as an echo chamber.The overnight experience was very good. We were allocated a hostel room above ground until the designated time to go underground. There was a minor issue with the key fob to get into the hostel as it did not work on one door into the hostel and we eventually made it in through a side door.The mine room itself was a positive experience, being a large chamber with alcoves for the double bed an another for the dining table.The only down side I would see was the early check out time of 11:00am and would suggest that the site owners either revise this to later and/or allow guests to stay in the hostel common area to a later time if they genuinely need to have guests leave the hostel bedroom by 11:00.am.

It’s an adventure. Every time, we have done the tour 3 times now. Both the 60 and 155 meter descend. The story telling, the fact every inch of stone is removed by hand and the environment of the mine as well makes it a great experience. Are you planning to go there? Do not forget to ask the guide to sing a song; it will give you the goose bumps.

First visit there, we went down to 155 meters and got a pretty long tour of the place. It is amazing to know everything was made by hand, inch by inch, so long ago. The guide was good and knew much.Be sure to bring a sweater, and preferably a jacket that can withstand water. It is cold and damp, and water rains down in places.There is also a "hotel" room you can rent for a night, deep inside the cave and if you are an experience cavern diver, you can also dive there! Can't wait to do so myself.
