Descend 800 steps to Wieliczka’s underground salt city, where a live guide leads you through 20 chambers, chapels, sculptures, mining machinery, and light displays. Choose Krakow pickup or meet in Wieliczka, and stay near your guide because headset reception can falter in the tunnels.

“Really enjoyable tour. The salt mines are expansive, with really impressive open spaces, lakes and salt statues. Busy as you’d expect with a lot of tours, but never felt rushed. Would definitely recommend a visit.”

Our driver Martin was also very good and we arrived at the site and back in Krakow in great time. Very positive experience and will be recommending to my friends. Thanks very much for a great excursion! :)Read more”
