Description
Travel from Kraków to the Wieliczka Salt Mine and explore this underground world with a half-day tour. Upon arriving at the mine, you will descend more than 380 steps to get to the first level, 210 feet (64 meters) below the ground. Your guide will provide you with insight into the mysteries of the mine, the people who have worked there, and the powers of nature that have ruled the mine.
