What to expect

Visit one of the most precious and fascinating monuments of culture in Poland. The first tourist trail in Wieliczka was established as early as the turn of the 19th century. A couple of decades later in 1978, the salt mine was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.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, and theme compositions relating to the history of the mine and legends.Wieliczka is the world's largest mining heritage museum with a collection encompassing unique pieces of mining equipment reflecting the development of mining techniques from the Middle Ages until today. Moreover, the microclimate of the mine has a beneficial impact on visitors who suffer from asthma and allergies. The tour starts with a descent down the stairs to a depth of 64 meters. You will then be led through a number of chambers and shown underground lakes, shrines, and salt monuments. The trip finishes at the level of 135 meters below the surface and at the end of the tour, you will return to the surface by lift.

Brilliant guide with a cheeky sense of humour. The story of the mines and the sculptures have to be seen. Impossible to describe but simply amazing

Salt Mine was wonderful. Bus pick-up from agreed location was fine. Wasn't so clear after the tour if we had time to get something to eat, as the tour was across the lunch period, or if we had to go straight back to the bus - which we did.

The salt mine was excellent but the email was confusing as two different pick up points which lead to missing pick up a later pick up was arranged but driver was late

Visita suggestiva nelle profondità della terra, in una vecchia miniera di sale ottimamente restaurata ed adibita ad attrazione. Interessanti le sculture di sale e la ricostruzione della vita dei lavoratori. Un po' confusionaria la gestione del gruppo un po' lasciato a se stesso, prima di entrare.

Puntuale il prelievo all'hotel, confortevole il trasporto, ben condotta la visita dalla bravissima Domenica. Nulla da eccepire, consiglierei a chiunque nonostante il prezzo un po più elevato di altre offerte disponibili.
