What you can expect

Begin your journey in Krakow, where you will meet your driver and travel comfortably to the famous Wieliczka Salt Mine, a world-renowned site visited by travellers from around the globe.

After arriving, prepare to descend into an underground wonderland unlike any other. Walk down hundreds of steps to a depth of around 135 metres and enter a remarkable hidden city carved entirely out of salt.

During your guided tour, discover a maze of corridors, chambers, and passages that reveal the rich history of this unique place. Admire magnificent salt sculptures, intricate carvings, underground chapels, and artistic works created by miners over the centuries.

As you move through the mine, see original tools, machinery, and historic equipment once used in the salt extraction process, offering a deeper understanding of the mine’s past and the hard work of generations of miners.

Learn how the mine developed over time and how salt was once one of the region’s most valuable natural resources. Hear stories about the history of the mine, the traditions of the miners, and the cultural importance of this extraordinary underground complex.

As you continue through this underground world, each chamber reveals something new — from striking salt formations to vast open spaces that feel more like hidden cathedrals than mine workings. The atmosphere is truly unique, combining history, art, and mystery in a setting that leaves a lasting impression.

After completing the tour and returning to the surface, relax on your comfortable transfer back to Krakow.
