Experience the nature, history, and art that lies within the Wieliczka Salt Mine on this guided tour and save time with skip-the-line tickets to this popular attraction. Follow your licensed museum guide to a depth of 135 meters below ground.

Start by taking the stairs into the mine. Let your guide take you along a 2-kilometer route through winding corridors, caves, and chambers. Admire sculptures carved from salt and elaborate engravings.

See exhibits on old mining machines and equipment. Learn about how the salt is still extracted from this mine that has been in operation for 700 years. Uncover the acoustic properties of the mine as you listen to Chopin's music

Marvel, in St Kinga’s Chapel, at large chandeliers that cast a glowing light onto the reflective salt. Breathe in the microclimate, which is thought to have some soothing respiratory properties.

Não gostei que os grupos estivessem tão perto um dos outros, pois a guia que vinha atrás estava constantemente a "empurrar-nos" para que andassemos mais depressa. Penso que pelo preço que pagamos, merecíamos mais consideração. Os grupos deveriam sair com um intervalo ligeiramente maior rã que isto não aconteça.

Tutto ben organizzato, Autobus nuovo, guida alla miniera eccezionale.

Juste un peu désorienté en sortant de la mine. Très belle visite avec un guide excellent
