This four-hour tour starts with a private car pickup from the hotel in Krakow at the chosen time. The air-conditioned vehicle drives approximately 30 minutes to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Upon arrival, guests leave the driver and join a guided group tour of up to 30 people. The guided tour lasts about two and a half hours and covers the mine’s 700-year-old network of salt tunnels and chambers. Visitors descend to a depth of 443 feet (135 meters) and walk through underground corridors, halls, and chambers. The guide provides information about the mine’s history and points out salt-carved statues, monuments, and exhibitions of mining equipment from medieval times. A main highlight is the Chapel of St Kinga, an underground church decorated entirely with salt sculptures, including an altarpiece and chandeliers created over 30 years by two miners. After the underground tour, visitors take an elevator back to the surface and meet their private driver for the return trip to the Krakow hotel. The tour is available in five languages. Hotel pickup and drop-off, round-trip private transport by air-conditioned car, and a professional driver are included. The mine’s temperature is about 57 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees Celsius); warm clothes and comfortable shoes are recommended. The mine contains many steps. Bringing a packed lunch is advised.
