Private Wieliczka Salt Mines Tour | Points of Interest & Landmarks

Your designated driver will pick you up in any spot of Krakow. From there will travel some 12 kilometers to the amazing Wieliczka Salt Mines.

Once in the mines, you will meet the guide that will show you the place. Take into consideration that the guide is provided by the Wieliczka Salt Mines, so we cannot provide a private guide inside. The tour inside is grupal.

The mines, which still today are being exploited, have a depth of approximately 327 meters divided into 9 levels. A total extension of 300 kilometers. However, the passage for tourists only includes the first three levels.

In Level 1, at 64 meters s underground, you can explore 20 salt chambers of 2 kilometers. Here there’s an exhibition of all the different minig methods that have been used in Wieliczka from the Middle Ages to this day.

You can also listen to anecdotes and legends of the place. You can even meet the guardian ghost of the Skarbnik site. A spirit that has helped miners to survive on more than one occasion.

The most emblematic of this visit is to appreciate the magnificent salt sculptures that adorn its galleries. The emerald-colored saline lakes and, of course, to enjoy a snack in the underground café before continuing the tour.

Passing through the chambers takes approximately 2 hours, during which your guide will make you discover the fascinating world that is under your feet.
