Overview

This 6-7 hour tour from Krakow includes a visit to the UNESCO-listed Bochnia Salt Mine, one of the oldest salt mines in the world, established in 1248. The tour begins with a hotel pickup and a 40-kilometer drive to the mine, which takes about 90 minutes. During the transfer, the driver provides commentary about Krakow and the surrounding region. Upon arrival, visitors spend approximately four hours underground exploring the mine using a modern audioguide available in six languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Polish. The underground tour includes visits to decorated chambers such as the St. Kinga Chapel, multimedia exhibits, and a ride on the oldest mining elevator. After the main tour, there is a combined 15-minute underground boat trip through flooded corridors and a mining train ride, both included in the ticket price. These activities are not suitable for people with disabilities or those using mobility aids. After completing the underground activities, the driver returns guests to their Krakow hotel in about an hour. The package includes hotel pickup and drop-off, entrance ticket, audioguide, guide services, multimedia exhibits, the mining train ride, and the underground boat expedition. Dinner is not included.
