Itinerary
Pass by: Start your tour in the center of Kraków, admiring the beauty of the city along the way.
Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the most precious and fascinating Polish monuments. The first tourist trail in Wieliczka was established as early as the beginning of the 19th century. A couple of centuries later the salt mine was designated as one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites (1978). The underground path leads through numerous drifts, galleries, and chambers, where traces of mining activity have been preserved, as well as examples of art, and theme compositions relating to the history of the mine and its legends. Wieliczka is the world's largest mining heritage museum... Moreover, the microclimate of the mine has a beneficial impact on visitors who suffer from asthma and allergies. The tour starts with a descent of 64 meters by stairs. You are then led through a number of chambers and shown underground lakes, shrines, and salt monuments. The trip finishes at the level of 135 meters below the surface and the return to the surface is by lift.
St. Kinga’s Chapel is a breathtaking underground sanctuary carved entirely from salt, located deep within the historic Wieliczka Salt Mine. Dedicated to Saint Kinga, this extraordinary space features intricate salt sculptures, crystal chandeliers, and detailed reliefs depicting biblical scenes. Both a place of worship and a masterpiece of craftsmanship, the chapel is considered one of the most remarkable highlights of the mine and a symbol of centuries-old mining heritage.
Pass by: After you visit the Salt Mine and a day full of excitement, your driver will take you back to the center of Kraków (of course, if you’ve chosen the transport option ).

Salt Mine Suprises
Amazing from start to finish! Great guys on the bus, great tour guide, amazing mine!!!
Fantastic trip- not to be missed.
A fantastic trip. Very well organised and managed by Yusuf. The Salt Mines trip is a must for anyone visiting Krakow. Incredible structures made from salt over thousands of years.
No communication of change of meeting point!
Wrong meeting place was given, making me 25 min late after running around the town for 40 min. So non professional!
A great tour, with excellent guides. Some hotel collections
Excellent tour. We were collected from our Hotel. We then met others at the main bus station. Our guide was Jusef. He was excellent. Showed us where to go and meet up with out salt mine guide Michael. He was also very good. There is a lot of walking here. You start by descending some 800 solid wooden steps. You then get to walk round 1% of the mine!! Its vast. There are lots of tours taking part at the same time, thou its staggered. There are times where the tours mix, but you just loom out and listen to your guide on the earpiece you are given to help you listen to them. There are toilets about half way, along with drinks and snacks. When you get to the end of the tour, there is still a LONG way to go, as you navigate the tunnels with a guide to get you to the lift. Our driver Kamil ( i think ) was waiting outside, his driving was really good. You are then dropped bak at 2 points. 1 is the main shopping centre in Krakow, or the bus station. So as we found out, if you are collected from outlaying hotels, you may not get taken back there, you may have to make your own way back?
