Very well organised and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. We made our own way to the salt mines but the instructions about where to meet were very clear.

Jeff – Ireland

Great experience from start to finish. Transport driver provided a lit of historical information on route. Once at the mine, our knowledgeable guide was brilliant and the various areas were amazing. The time flew and it did not feel as though we were in there for almost 2 hours. A must visit.

Full description

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is among Poland’s most cherished cultural landmarks. Each year, it draws over a million visitors from across the globe who come to admire its intricate salt carvings and detailed reliefs.

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, this extraordinary location has become a must-see for many travellers. Generations of miners left behind a legacy of sculptures and bas-reliefs carved directly from the salt, preserving their craftsmanship for the future.

To enter the mine, visitors must descend about 800 steps, with the first underground level reached after roughly 350. At the end of the tour, an elevator carries guests back up to the surface.
