Bring enough water and dun buy nearby the camp which costed 8 PLN but the normal price is only 2-3PLN! Well prepared especially for summer time and lunch break only 30 mins, better to buy some food 1 day before as there’s no any restaurant / shop in the camp Very worth to visit and learn a lot from history… pls show your respect and Dun wear any sexy (no see through bra please !) and wear the comfy shoes for long walk , first part takes almost 2 hours…”

Guided Wieliczka Salt Mine trip with hotel pickup from Krakow. UNESCO underground chapels, lakes, and salt art in 5.5 hours.

“Great tour guide, friendly , interesting and knowledgeable. Did not like the descent into the mine at the beginning of tour - very long and endless flights of stairs. Would have helped if person at top had given us a heads up as to this. I felt quite panicked by it. Utter relief to get to bottom. Tour guide really calming with voice when we met her. The mine itself not at all claustrophobic, airy and wide spaces and high ceilings. Beautiful cathedral. Amazing carvings. Just be prepared for that descent.”
