Over the centuries, devout and superstitious miners have carved fabulous figures, monuments and altarpieces out of its salt walls. These amazing works of art, in addition to the mine's historical importance, have earned the Wieliczka Salt Mine a place on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list.
Your route through the mine leads you through galleries and chambers on three levels, from 64 to 135 metres below the ground, including the unique and richly ornamented Chapel of the Blessed Kinga. The route is 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometers) long and you will have to walk down 400 steps in total.
Your tour begins with a pick up from your hotel in Krakow at a convenient time chosen by you. Accompanied by an English-speaking driver/assistant, you will travel in a private vehicle for a tour of Wieliczka.
• Arrive in Wieliczka, a town famous for one of the oldest salt mines in Europe, which has been in operation for at least 700 years.
• Visit the oldest part of the mine which is now open to the public as a museum. Walk through the galleries, chambers and chapels on three levels. Admire the altarpieces, figures and monuments carved out of salt.
• Visit the Salt Museum.
• The highlight is the richly ornamented Chapel of St. Kinga.
At the end of the tour you will be dropped back at your hotel in Krakow.
