Ready to descent 140 meters underground and explore breathtaking chambers with statues made of salt? Start your half-day tour at your hotel in Krakow, where your friendly English-speaking driver will meet you. You will drive to Wieliczka Salt Mine in a comfortable vehicle. At the beginning of your tour, you will get familiar with safety regulations in the mine and then you will begin your journey through salt corridors more than 140 meters underground. Explore remarkable chambers and beautifully decorated chapels hand-carved by local miners. At the end of the route, you can also visit the souvenir shop and snack bar. From here, return to the surface by the high-speed lift.

Overall I enjoyed the experience but the stairs and the amount of walking is very tiring.

Wonderful, interesting day out @ Saltmines Comfortable, clean minibus transport Guided tour of a truly amazing place, really enjoyed narrative from tour guide,(Maria), who was very knowledgable… A lot of walking, & stairs to negotiate, so not for those with mobility issues .

The guide Justine was very good and knowledgeable, the mine was very impressive and well laid out. We enjoyed every minute

Felt a little rushed. It would have nice to have a little time at the end either for food or to do the lift with views but other than that it was amazing.

It's a must trip absolutely fantastic, prompt pick up and return, the guide in my opinion walked to quickly my partner and I were on occasions left behind as my partner does struggle to walk fast, then dropped further back taking photos, but still well worth it

Exceeded my expectations! The queuing system by language into the attraction could’ve been clearer but the guides were proficient historians and the chambers were incredibly well constructed. Would highly recommend as a must-do experience when in Krakow.
