The Salt Mine in Wieliczka is famous for being Europe’s oldest salt mine, which has been operating for at least 700 years. Wieliczka’s Salt Mine is a unique tourist attraction, and is on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List (listed among the twelve top sites). Get lost with wonder as you make your way through the labyrinth of tunnels, pits and chambers, all hewn out by hand from solid salt. Beautifully adorned chapels, underground lakes, and other hidden treasures are spread out on the three upper levels of the complex, ranging from 64 to 135 meters below the ground. Tourists can enjoy the three kilometre-long trail and a collection of objects related to the mine itself and mining industry.

It was a fascinating tour and the guide was good. There was a huge amount of walking was during the tour, but this was expected. The stairs were fine as only went down. At the end there was a long long walk to the lift which was in a neighbouring shaft and brought us out a significant distance from the original entrance - we had difficulty finding our way back to the taxi. Wear very sensible shoes!!

Fab tour. Very glad I booked through Viator. Was so easy and driver arrived on time. Was collected from the apartment and taken there. The driver waited with us in the queue and left when we entered. He was thee waiting when we came out. The tour was very interesting. Just a warning to anyone who is claustrophobic, the only way to leave the tour is up through a lift shaft which is very small and you’re tightly squeezed in with others. It gets to the top very quickly though. If I’m Kracow it’s a must see. We were returned straight back to our apartment in a nice comfy clean private taxi. I would definitely recommend seeing the Salt Mine and also recommend booking through Viator. So easy and takes the stress out of getting there.
