What to expect

Enjoy this half-day tour to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. A professional, English-speaking driver will pick you up at the meeting point in Kraków and drive you straight to the site, where a local guide will take you through the historic underground city.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine dates back to medieval times and has a history of around 9 centuries of salt exploitation. The tourist route through the mine is located 135 meters below ground and is accessible by stairs, or by lift on special demand. It is an absolutely unique place to visit and is a must-see during your stay in Kraków.

One of the major bonuses of visiting the Salt Mine is the health benefit of its special climate and its micro-element filled air.

    An interesting place to visit. Great information from the guide. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Krakow. It is a lot of stairs and a long route, so be prepared for that. Worthwhile though.

    Could have done with a little more time at the end of the tour to look at the town and souvenir shops. Only had 15 minutes from end of tour to get back to the bus.

    We were unhappy that our pick up time was changed less than 24 hours before the tour was due to start. The issue was eventually resolved but I could have done without that stead on holiday

    From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. The process, from the pick-up to the tour and returning back, was seamless and well-organised. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clear in their instructions, making the entire journey smooth and enjoyable. The tour itself was interesting, with a guide who was both informative and engaging, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. Highly recommended!

    Very interesting place, very knowledgeable guide, well worth a visit. The only thing was that it felt a little too rushed, needed more time to have a good look and take in what was being explained.
