Descend 135 meters into Wieliczka Salt Mine on a guided visit through 20 chambers of salt sculptures, chapels, machinery, and art. Choose Krakow pickup or meet in Wieliczka. Guides such as Eva, Magda, Michael, and Kuba are praised for clear, lively commentary. Allow about three hours, wear warm layers, and expect plenty of stairs.

“The guide was absolutely brilliant. Very witty and very informative. The earpiece receivers did cut out occasionally so we couldn't hear the guide sometimes as we were walking, but it didn't detract from the overall experience. Would definitely recommend a visit to the mine.”

The radios didn’t have enough range; so we missed some of the stories. 2. There are a few places in the mine to get souvenirs.
