Wieliczka Salt Mine by Gray Line Cracow

Tour Itinerary

The underground trail leads through numerous drifts, galleries and chambers, where traces of mining activity have been preserved, as well as examples of sacred art, theme compositions relating to the history of the mine and legends. Wielicza is at the same time the world's largest mining heritage museum with a collection encompassing unique pieces of mining equipment reflecting the development of mining techniques from the Middle Ages until today. Moreover, the microclimate of the mine has a beneficial impact on visitors who suffer from asthma and allergies. The tour starts with a descent down the stairs to the depth of 64 meters. Visitors are led through a number of chambers and shown underground lakes, shrines and salt monuments. The trip finishes at the level of 135 meters below the surface. Visitors return to the surface by lift.

The 14-degree temperature in the mine is constant. The price does not include the fee for filming and photographs. Students under 24 years of age holding a valid student ID are entitled to a discount. Children aged up to 5 traveling with guardians can visit the mine free of charge, however the organiser should be informed of their participation in advance for booking purposes. A private tour can be organised, together with transport and a guide - also in languages which are not listed. For more information, please contact the Reservation and Customer Service Department.
