You'll skip the long queues outside the mine and head deep underground with your guide to uncover the wonders of the Wieliczka Salt Mine.
Begin your tour at the Danilowicz Shaft, the entrance of the mine. With an expert guide, explore 22 dazzling chambers, including the Stanisław Staszic Chamber, Weimar Chamber, and the Chamber of Casimir the Great, all carved from salt. Walking through different chambers and tunnels, you’ll listen to fascinating insights about the mine’s mining history and legends from the guide. In the salt chambers, you'll come across intricate salt sculptures, an underground lake, and the magnificent Chapel of St. Kinga, also crafted by the miners entirely from salt. More highlights include the 'Last Supper' bas-relief and exquisite salt creations like chandeliers, altarpieces, and life-sized figures, all showcasing remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Throughout your tour, you'll breathe in the mineral-rich air of the salt chambers, known for its role in promoting lung health. At the end of your tour, shop for unique rock salt souvenirs, spices, and salt-based cosmetics at the mine’s gift store.
