One of the most visited attractions in Banská Štiavnica.
The underground exhibition in the Bartolomej Adit offers an extraordinary experience: a real descent into the mine. With a helmet on your head and a lamp in your hand, you go deep underground, just as the miners did. Historic winding engines, locomotives and mine buildings have been brought to the museum grounds from all over Slovakia. The tour takes about 1.5 hours. It stays cool in the mine all year round, so don’t forget a jumper, even in summer. The mine is not recommended for children under 4. The museum is about a 15-minute walk from Piarg Gate in the centre of Banská Štiavnica. The car park is usually full of coaches, so we recommend coming on foot. The sightseeing road train, which starts and ends on Holy Trinity Square, also stops here.
