Upon arrival, an English-speaking local guide will lead you through the underground corridors and chambers. The guided visit inside the salt mine takes roughly two to two and a half hours. During the tour, you will explore about 800 stairs, with 400 at the entrance, and see several notable features including St. Kinga’s Chapel, which is 54 meters long and nearly 12 meters high.
