Step into one of Poland’s greatest treasures – the UNESCO-listed Wieliczka Salt Mine, a fascinating underground city carved entirely out of rock salt. On this guided tour from Krakow, everything is arranged for you: hotel pickup, round-trip transfer in a comfortable minivan or bus, pre-booked entry tickets, and a certified guide in the language of your choice.

After pickup from your hotel in Krakow, relax during a short drive to Wieliczka. Your driver will take care of all logistics, while your tickets – purchased in advance – mean you avoid waiting in line at the ticket office.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine has been operating since the 13th century and is one of the oldest of its kind in the world. Descend 327 meters below the surface and enter a labyrinth of winding corridors, mysterious tunnels, and vast chambers. With every step, your guide will bring the history of the mine to life, sharing legends, facts, and stories of miners who worked here for centuries.

Underground highlights:

• The Chapel of St. Kinga – an awe-inspiring church carved entirely from salt, complete with sculptures and glittering chandeliers.
• Crystal-clear underground lakes, glowing with a mysterious, magical light.
• Artistic salt carvings that tell the story of Poland’s history and the lives of miners.
• Healing microclimate – the unique air underground is said to ease breathing and support health.

As you explore, you’ll see why Wieliczka is not only a UNESCO World Heritage Site but also one of the most visited landmarks in Poland.

After discovering countless hidden corners, chapels, and sculptures, your adventure ends with a ride back to the surface on the traditional miners’ elevator – known as the “Szola.” Just as generations of miners once did, you’ll ascend rapidly from the depths of the earth to daylight.

And once your underground journey is complete, your driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel in Krakow – a comfortable end to a truly unforgettable day.
