Breeze by the entrance lines of Poland’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, Wieliczka Salt Mine, with this tour. Along with a skip-the-line admission ticket, this tour provides round-trip transport form Krakow and bottled water to keep you hydrated during the trek underground. Plus, you can learn information about the mine from your guide you wouldn’t learn if traveling alone, and a headset is offered so you can clearly hear the commentary as you go.

Once you arrive, start your tour of the mine. Learn about its origins in the 13th century from your guide. Ascend almost 450 feet (135 meters) into the earth, including a climb down 350 steps and a walk through a 2-mile (3-kilometer) network of tunnels. Take in vast chambers decorated with salt carvings, a chapel decorated with salt chandeliers, and caverns hosting salt-rich lakes. Throughout your guided tour, listen to your guide's informative commentary through provided headsets.
Climb back to the surface for the ride back to Krakow. Get dropped off at your original departure point at the end of this tour.

You'd associate Salt Mines with the Gulags not tourists! But this is a great experience. Like all the visits we did in the Krakow area we found it well organised and good value. We are reasonably it, but if you are otherwise or suffer from...More
Superb place very interesting so much to see could have spent more time there... Plenty of stairs down, but thankfully a lift back up!
Great guided tour with everything running smoothly. Amazed to see how this mine has been developed for tourism with no missed opportunities. You can even get married here.
A must see trip if you're in Krakow, totally amazing to see all these sculptures etc, if you have the time do this as separate trip on its, they offer. Auschwitz and this but to much in 1 day
Superb visit, a must see in Kraków! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the tour itself was excellent. Bring comfortable shoes as there is a lot of walking. But it’s all worth it!
