Wieliczka - Salt Mine

A tourist attraction. A ballroom. A concert hall. A sports hall. An art gallery. A sanctuary. And all of this underground, sculptured in salt, in Wieliczka. Amazing? Of course! One way or the other, the one million tourists who visit this historic mine just cannot be wrong. The historic Salt Mine in Wieliczka is the only mining site in the world functioning continuously since the Middle Ages till 1996 - and one of the 12 sites that were registered, 30 years ago, on the UNESCO World List of Natural and Cultural Heritage.

The Tourist Route features chambers, corridors, wooden chapels, as well as saline lakes and deposits. A walk along the route resembles not only an expedition into the depths of the Earth, but also a trip into the past. Mining machines, tools and other traces of the ancient miners’ labour constitute a thrilling adventure tale about the place and people who created it during the past centuries. More sacred sites, including the amazing Chapel of St. Kinga, form a unique – for the only one in Europe – 'God Bless' (Szczęść Boże) underground pilgrims’ route.

The price includes dinner in one of the amazing underground chambers of the Salt Mine.
Wieliczka is located about 13km from Cracow and you will be taken there by coach.
