What to expect
Enjoy an organized transfer for groups of about 35 people by air-conditioned minibus from your hotel in Krakow to the Wieliczka Salt Mines. On this approximately 4-hour guided tour you will take an exciting journey into the depths through chambers, corridors, salt chapels and lakes.
Along this 3-kilometer tour, 135 meters underground, a local guide will take you through the historic subway city with different stories and wonderful legends.
More than 300 kilometers of galleries, amazing subway lakes and hundreds of rooms decorated with sculptures make the Wieliczka salt mines one of the most visited places in Poland. This monument, a World Heritage Site since 1978, is the only facility in the world still in operation since the Middle Ages.
You will see beautiful chambers, part of which are chapels and one of which has as its patron Saint Kinga, one of the most popular saints in the country. The chapel of St. Kinga is one of the biggest attractions of the whole mine. It is a gigantic church, about 1,000 square meters, built with thousands of tons of ore and has a huge statue of John Paul II, illuminated by large chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
