Wieliczka Salt Mine from Cracow

63.00

The Wieliczka Salt Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the oldest operating salt mines in the world, with over 700 years of history. Located near Kraków, it offers visitors a unique underground experience with professional guides available in multiple languages.

As you descend 135 meters below ground, you’ll explore a fascinating network of tunnels and chambers carved entirely out of salt. Highlights include the breathtaking Chapel of St. Kinga, a vast underground church filled with sculptures, altars, and chandeliers all made of salt. The mine also features beautiful underground salt lakes, such as those in the Erazm Barącz Chamber, which create stunning reflections in their calm, clear waters.

Visitors can also admire natural salt formations and learn about the history of salt mining, which once made salt as valuable as gold. The mine is not only a cultural treasure but also a place of healing, thanks to the microclimate inside, which is known for its health benefits, particularly for respiratory conditions.

Whether you’re interested in history, art, or natural beauty, the Wieliczka Salt Mine offers an unforgettable journey through one of Poland’s most remarkable landmarks.
