We invite you to the real world of wonders! The Wieliczka Salt Mine was inscribed onto the First UNESCO World Natural and Cultural Heritage List in 1978. It reaches a depth of 327 meters and the mine passage is almost 300 km long! The Salt Mine continuously produced kitchen salt from the 13th century until 1996, being one of the world’s oldest operating salt mines. Every year it is visited by over one million tourists, being undoubtedly one of the most frequently visited sites in Poland. There are no appropriate words to express the mystery and beauty of the Wieliczka Salt Mine… you just must see it!

This tour is a perfect option for those who do not stay in Krakow for too long. You can take a private Salt Mine Tour on the day of your departure from the Krakow airport. By doing so you save your time, as the Krakow Airport is located only 25 minutes drive from Wieliczka Salt Mine.
