Wonderfully unique experience.
There are a lot of steps to get down, and the entire experience is walking, with a short break where you can buy snacks and souvenirs. There's also souvenirs and food above ground on the premises.
Better to order tickets in advance, there are half a dozen languages available.

Such a cool experience and incredible history here. Be prepared for a long walk, especially with children. There is no strollers allowed. If you’re gonna have a child strap to you make sure you’re in good shape lots of ups and downs and clients and declines almost like a hike, but definitely worth the tour. The architecture and the mine was so incredibly well put together that it’s hard to absorb everything and really understand it all. if you have the time to come here, it’s definitely a recommend and I would do it again. Incredible to visit. Almost unreal

We had a great experience at the Wieliczka Salt Mine. To be honest I didn’t expect much but I was completely blown away by the beauty of it! All the chambers have something unique and our guide was really knowledgeable and entertaining as well!
The tour does take 2.5-3 hours and involves a lot of walking but is definitely worth it.
Highly recommend to pay the salt mine a visit when in the area.

One of the best places / museums I have ever been! Been here twice and loved it each time, the salt mine is quite large but time really flies by. It was so cool to walk down the stairs, see all the different rooms and passages, and there's even a café and some shops down there.
There are plenty of statues, large halls, and even a church down there.
When you get to the end, you take a long elevator back up to the ground. I will definitely be coming back again for a third visit!

This place is very, very touristy. It's convenient to get there by train, and there are plenty of clear signs in the city directing you to the start. The tour itself left a positive impression, but there's definitely room for improvement considering the price. Everything operates like a conveyor belt – groups are admitted one after another, so for most of the tour, groups are practically on each other's heels, causing congestion. Because of this, the tour moves very quickly.
The mine itself is impressive and well-maintained, with many exhibits and installations that truly showcase the hard work of salt miners from that era. One downside is that the guides don’t have microphones, and the groups are quite large, so it’s hard to hear the guide if you’re further back. Everyone ends up crowding to hear. Guides should have microphones with speakers so everyone can hear.
Our tour was led by Lyudmila – a wonderful and charismatic guide. Throughout the tour, she kept us very engaged and passionately shared about salt mining. It was fascinating to listen to her! An excellent guide.
