Wieliczka Salt Mine Entrance Ticket with Shuttle from Krakow

Enter the salt city! This underground labyrinth stretches for over 9 levels at 64 to 327 meters below the surface of the Earth. A maze of nearly 2,400 chambers is connected with sidewalks with a total length of 245 km. It is an invaluable monument of material culture, inscribed in 1978 on the UNESCO Heritage List.

Visit one of the largest museums of underground mining, where this most precious, natural food preserve was extracted. Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the most precious and fascinating Polish landmarks. The first tourist trail in Wieliczka was established as early as at the turn of the 19th century. A hundred years later the salt mine was designated as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites (1978). 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 the 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.
