Descend approximately 135 metres underground to begin your walk through 2.5 kilometres of chambers and tunnels carved entirely out of salt. Highlights of the tour include the magical underground lake, dozens of salt sculptures, and the world-famous Chapel of St. Kinga – an awe-inspiring space illuminated by salt crystal chandeliers.

Your guide will share fascinating stories of mining traditions, geological formations, and centuries-old legends – including tales of the “Treasurer” and the mysterious origins of the mine. Dating back to the 13th century, the Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the oldest in the world and a true masterpiece of underground architecture.

Many visitors also appreciate the unique microclimate inside the mine – the air is cool, clean, and rich in minerals, often described as refreshing and beneficial for the respiratory system.
