What to expect

Journey 135 meters underground to visit the only salt mine in the world preserved in such pristine condition that it was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list - the Wieliczka Salt Mine.

The historic Salt Mine in Wieliczka welcomes over 1 million tourists per year to discover the location where mining has continued since the Middle Ages. Constructed over nine levels, its original excavations (longitudinals, traverses, chambers, lakes, as well as lesser and major shafts) stretch for a total of 300 kilometers. Reaching a depth of 327 meters they illustrate all the stages of the development of the mining technology over time.

The mine has a long and notable tradition of tourism. The famous breath-taking site has been visited over the centuries by Nicolaus Copernicus, Ignacy Paderewski, Pope John Paul II and crowned heads of state. Not to mention millions of people from all over the world! Included in your tour you'll see the stunning 'underground town' with lakes, passages and St Kinga chapel.
