Falu Mine

Really a magnificent experience and more that that was learning about this historic place, A thousand years of history beneath Sweden’s surface Located in the heart of Sweden, the Falun copper mines were once one of the most important industrial sites in Europe. The mine was active for over a thousand years, from around the 10th century until it finally closed in 1992. ⛏️ A Mine that Shaped a Nation

Very interesting place, you‘ll learn a lot about one Sweden‘s most important mines. There a several entrance tickets, but I would recommend the „underground package“ which includes a guided underground tour. The museum is also interesting, but not as impressive as the mine. Nevertheless it’s very child friendly and the can a try and lean a lot about copper.

Very interesting copper mine to visit. We were recommended to come here by our Swedish friends. It is definitely spectacular. Unfortunately we could do the underground tour as we could not get to the 2pm English tour in time. Definitely make sure you find out the tour times in advance and book your space.

We did the mine tour and saw the museum. Interesting stuff and going into the mine was a fun experience

I loved the experience. Our guide knew the history of it so well. The story of Fet Mats, Kåre the Goat linger on. The orange gear we wore makes me remember this adventure. I will come again because the museum and miners homes were closed that day.

Got a very detailed tour of the mine going over the history of the mine, the lives of the miners and the goat Kåre. A visit during the Christmas time also presents the opportunity to spot elves around the mine. A visit during the second advent also grants access to a very nice Christmas market outside the mine.

A can’t miss UNESCO site in Sweden. The guided tour in the mine was well worth it! Friendly for children over 4 .. beware lots of stairs but it was an amazing visit. The museum was also a great informative visit. Lots of great historical information and a inique experience for all.

We first visited in April 2022 but that was a brief visit(only the mine tour), we merely took a glance at the museum. We were quite impressed even during that short visit, and decided to revisit. Today, we spent an entire day there: - Reached early(0950), and viewed the sites like Creutz shaft, hoist, etc. - Visited the museum, viewed partially but thoroughly. - Lunch at the cafe. We avoided the restaurant this time as the menu didn't suit us but based on our 2022 visit, I would say the restaurant is decent and reliable. - Guided tour in English at 1330. We actually had booked a Swedish tour as the English one at 1200 was full. During our interaction with reception, they informed us that there would be an additional English tour at 1330 due several visitors. - Revisited and covered the remaining part of the museum. - Left around 1600. The museum is the best part, followed by the 1h guided tour. They have taken utmost efforts to provide information on English. The guides and the staff provided some interesting information apart from the tour as well. The kids also enjoyed a lot. Overall, it is a must-visit sight if you are in Sweden even for a brief period.
