About this guide

WieliczkaSaltMines.com is an independent guide to visiting the Wieliczka Salt Mine from Kraków: how each tour gets you to the mine, when you go in, in which language, whether the mine ticket is included and what the stairs, the lift and the cool air mean on the day. We are not the mine, a tour company or GetYourGuide. We compare the bookable options so you can choose the right one without the sales talk.

Facts on this site are checked against official and specialist sources, among them the Wieliczka Salt Mine's own visitor information and rules, UNESCO and the live GetYourGuide listings. Where a figure or a rule comes from a listing, the page says so and applies it to that listing only. Opening hours, routes and listing details change; when the mine, a listing and this site disagree, the mine and the listing win.

The site is funded by affiliate commissions: when you book through a GetYourGuide link here, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That never changes what we say, including that the mine's own guide leads every group underground and that you can buy a ticket from the mine directly. Details on the affiliate disclosure page.
