An eerie world where everything has been carved from salt blocks, the Wieliczka Salt Mine (Kopalnia Soli) is made up of a labyrinth of tunnels, the deepest of which lies 1,075 feet (327 meters) underground. The ancient UNESCO World Heritage site is a major part of Poland's salt mining history, one of the country's most popular attractions, and one of the world's oldest salt mines, having produced table salt from the 13th century until 2007.

michelle_c, Oct 2023
Excellent experience!
Have used Viator in the past and once again it didn’t disappoint. I had trouble finding the pick up location (my hotel doesn’t allow minivan size however pick up location was not easy to find without google maps) and driver worked with me. Driver was professional and friendly. Van was clean and comfortable. Will use Viator again.

Its a must go
A must visit when in Krakow. Contact with the provider extremely easy even messaged the night before confirming pick up time Minibus was clean, exactly on time. The tour is done by a official tour guide of the mine, really informative. Lots of walking but incredible.
