Overview
The mine, built in the 13th century, produced table salt continuously until 2007, as one of the world's oldest salt mines still in operation.
The mine's attractions include dozens of statues, three chapels and an entire cathedral that has been carved out of the rock salt by the miners.
The Wieliczka mine is often referred to as "the Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland."
In 1978 it was placed on the original UNESCO list of the World Heritage Sites.Today, the Wieliczka salt mine combines many centuries of tradition and modernity, the history of several hundred years and an underground metropolis with extensive infrastructure.

I’m 75 and I worried about the steps to the salt mine. I was told if I asked I might be able to ride the elevator. Unfortunately it was under renovations when I arrived. Not to worry the steps are an easy way to get down. They are wide and in short flights. I enjoyed the guide and the mines! It was a great experience

Marche de 3KM à 200m sous terre extremement intéressante avec des guides compétents, qui expliquent comment la mine fonctionnait du 12ieme siècle jusqu'à 1996. Magnifique salles incluant une église sous terraine avec des sculptures (dans le sel) de la Cène, de la passion, de Jean Paul II et bien d'autres. A faire absolument en passant par Cracovie

Rekommenderas varmt, en jätte bra guidad tu i en otrolig gruva. Bra guide på engelska. Turen tar lite drygt 2 timmar vilket barnen tyckte var lite väl lång tid. Stora salar med statyer av salt. Det negativa var bristerna i att följa covid-restriktionerna gällande munskydd och avstånd, detta trots informationsskyltar överallt. Till och med guiden hade munskyddet hängande nedanför näsan och ibland nedanför munnen. Tråkigt med tanke på hur pandemin ser ut idag.

Krakow Salt Mine Guided Tour -1!00 polish zloty ( £20 ) entrance with a British guide tour. Parking nearby for £5 all day. ( see town afterwards or pay £1 an hour elsewhere. Not to busy upon arrival. Our guide was not very clearly spoken . Many many steps down, so comfy footwear needed. Small stop halfway through tour where there were toilets , gift shop and snack bar. Many salt carvings to see along the way along with the stunning large chapel. Thankfully afterwards a lift to take you up. An interesting experience.

The Krakow Salt Mine tour is a great way to spend a half day in the area. Seeing the very earliest (1500's) work and working conditions of the miners and the amazing works of art makes for a fascinating experience. Many of the sculptures were done by miners after a full day of mining. The guides are excellent. Everything you see, including the chandeliers, are made of salt.
