    #Wieliczka Salt Mine Guided Tour and Ticket & Transfer from Krakow

    4 hours

    Moderate

    Discover the beauty of the Wieliczka Salt Mine and visit a one-of-a-kind underground world that was created hundreds of years ago.


    The Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the most amazing monuments in Polish cultural history listed on the first UNESCO Cultural and Natural World Heritage List.  Visitors can walk through a 3.5 kilometers long tourist route located  at a depth between 64m and 135m to discover underground chapels and lakes. Original mining tunnels, devices, and tools remind the stories of  the miners’ daily struggles through centuries.

    • Explore the historic Wieliczka Salt Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
    • See carvings, statues, and mining equipment all made of salt
    • Marvel at the Chapel of the Blessed Kinga, located more than 100 meters below the surface
    • Spend the tour with the professional live guide

    It takes around 30 minutes to drive from the center of Krakow to Wieliczka. A standard guided tour through the salt mine lasts 2-3 hours.  Also bear in mind that there are very long corridors and 800 stairs of  which 350 have to be descended in the very beginning to reach the first level of the mine at the depth of 64 meters underground.

    Alternatively, if you’re using your own transport, meet us in front of the Salt Mine entrance.
