Wieliczka Salt Mine
One of the oldest salt mines in the world, as also one of the greatest examples of miners art. It’s no wonder that Wieliczka Salt Mine was inscribed to UNESCO World Heritage List – this place is totally unique.


Wieliczka Salt Mine

Underground Magic


St. Kinga's Chapel
Breath taking sculptures made of salt, huge, mysterious chambers and magical atmosphere attracts over 1 million tourists every year. In addition stroll trough the underground passages has very good influence for our health. During about 4 hours of sightseeing the mine we can admire inconceivable beauty of the underground world. Every passage or chamber is connected with amazing legends and full of breath-taking objects.

It's all made of salt
In Wieliczka we can find out how medieval miners were working, see the historical tools and admire one of its kind salt sculptures. If You don’t believe that they are made of salt You can lick it, but we don’t recommend it. They were licked by thousands of people before. However You can trust us, it’s all salt around there.


Salt Sculptures
Back in Time
Visit in Wieliczka is unique time travel. Chambers are connected with many historical events and characters, so this is an ideal place to get familiar with extremely interesting Polish history.

Inconveniences
Sightseeing of mine can be hard for some people. Remember that You have to pass over 380 stairs to reach the depth of 64 meters. It’s worth to sacrifice a little bit to see it all, but mind Your health. Pay attention also about some long-slave clothes, because even if it’s heat over ground, in mine there is a constant temperature of 14 ‘C (57F).


Shaft in Wieliczka Salt Mine
Wieliczka is a MUST-SEE!
In brief visit in Wieliczka is not the easiest, but truly marvelous experience. While You’re in Krakow You simply can’t miss this tour. Amazing, underground views will impress You so much, that You’ll never forget Your adventure below the ground.

I feel I must send you an email to say how fantastic my trip to Krakow last week was. From start to finish everything was so efficient and organised and all the drivers, tour and hotel staff were so friendly and polite. It is not often I encounter such great service and I would like to thank you for making our trip hassle-free and memorable. I would certainly recommend you to anyone looking to visit Poland. Well done and thanks again! Kind Regards,

Thank you so much for making our short break a seamless process and ensured we had the most relaxing time.I have emailed you several times with sometimes stupid questions and you have always been very polite, courteous and helpful.

The transfer to and from the airport was on time and very convenient as booked in advance. We visited both the salt mine and Aushwitz and the transport, tour guides and level of service was excellent.Overall we were very happy.

Krakow too was amazing, cheap food and drink and some very good bars local to our hotel.We will definitely be coming back!
With thanks again,

The guide picked us up and then stopped and got out of the van. She didn't say where she was going (to pick up another couple) and was about 10 minutes. She did leave the air con on though.

This was an amazing tour, our only complaint was that the tour guide took us to the Salt Mine and gave us our tickets, however we were then left on our own to explore and they just explained how to find our way back to the hotel on our own.

The trip was excellent and very well organised. Maybe for an additional fee, the lesser chambers and tunnels should be given a tour with smaller groups. Maybe to some of the lower levels as well.
