This will be a long day but for sure is worth every second of the visit.

It’s important to mention that Wieliczka Salt Mine is really one of the most precious and fascinating Polish monuments that each international traveler should visit. The first tourist trail in Wieliczka was established as early as at the turn of the 19th century. A couple of centuries later the salt mine was designated as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites (exactly in 1978). The underground trail leads through numerous drifts, galleries, and chambers, where traces of mining activity have been preserved, as well as examples of sacred art, theme compositions relating to the history of the mine and legends. Worth mentioning is the fact that the microclimate of the mine has a beneficial impact on visitors who suffer from asthma and allergies.

Price 180 EUR per person applies to groups of minimum 3 travellers.
