Wielickza Salt Mine is a wonder of human engineering and endeavour. A winding, crystalline labyrinth of elegant sculptures, cavernous hallways and deep green lakes, our local guides provide you with fascinating insight and unparalleled service, so that you get the most out of your salt mine experience.
Easily organise a pick-up point from anywhere in Kraków, where you will be taken on the 30-minute drive to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Then, you will descend the hundreds of steps into the deep, twisting salt maze that constitutes the mine (after smugly enjoying the queue jump benefit the private tour brings.)
135m underground, enveloped in the mineral-rich, therapeutically salty air, you are free to explore the seemingly endless passageways and secret corners, each holding exquisite salt constructions and sculptures. St. Kinga’s Salt Chapel is world’s largest underground church and the jewel in the crown of this subterranean city. Breathtakingly complex chandeliers, delicate spires and awe-inspiring caverns.
Understand the 700-year history of the mine, the myths it has been shrouded in, the stories that have seeped from the shafts. At the end of the tour, you’ll be transported back to a location of your choosing in the city of Kraków.
