Explore the hidden depths and uncover the mysteries and folklore of Wieliczka Salt Mine, a gem in Poland’s cultural heritage. To date, it has welcomed more than 40 million intrigued visitors from across the globe and earned a spot on the UNESCO world heritage list in 1978. As you travel along the tourist path, approximately 20 magnificent chambers await your discovery, along with saltwater lakes, mining equipment, and art pieces showcasing delicate sculptures and reliefs, all crafted from salt by skilled human hands. Knowledgeable licensed guides from the Salt Mine will enrich your journey with tales of the mine’s history and anecdotes about the miners who have toiled there for generations. Prepare for a descent of 800 steps (350 steps to reach 135 metres underground), but rest assured the steps are wide and equipped with handrails. When your underground adventure concludes, a lift will convey you back to the surface.
