About the tour

Wieliczka Salt Mine — what's worth knowing

Wieliczka Salt Mine near Warsaw (~300 km) is one of the world's oldest active salt mines and one of the first sites inscribed on the UNESCO list. Salt has been extracted here since the 13th century. It is visited by over 1.5 million people annually.

The Tourist Route descends ~135 m underground: salt sculptures, underground lakes, wooden structures, and the stunning St. Kinga's Chapel entirely carved from salt. Guided tour lasts ~2–3 hours (approx. 3 km, 380 stairs down).

This tour is for everyone — including families with children. It's cool underground (~14–16 °C), so bring something with sleeves. You travel privately at your own pace. Plan: hotel pickup, ~3 h travel, ~2–3 h underground, return. Total: around 11–12 hours.
