About

Quick facts: The underground train transports visitors along 2.5 kilometers inside one of the longest caves in Europe. More than 1.2 million people travel this route each year, experiencing a unique journey underground.

Highlights: The tour includes a tunnel where the train stops to listen to the echo produced when clapping; the cave is dotted with stalactites and stalagmites that shine with strategic lights, creating impressive lighting effects.

Insider tips

Wear comfortable footwear and warm clothing, as the temperature inside is around 10°C.
Choose a seat in the front rows of the train for better views of the cave.
Don't forget to try making an echo in the tunnel and listen to the unique reverberation.
Avoid peak hours between 11:00 and 14:00 to enjoy the ride with fewer people.
