We loved the old elevator. The excursion was quite impressive even though it was in Polish. If you understand Russian, you can understand some of it. Great animated video exposition. Be ready for walking quite a lot.

The experience of visiting this salt mine was truly worth it! We had an excellent guide with a great sense of humour. She not only told us about the different landmarks/attractions we walked past, but was also very eager to answer questions and give us some fun facts about the mine. More about the visit itself : You go down around 200 meters under the ground with a lift, and then the length of the tour is about 5km. There are not as many stairs as we thought there would be, but still. We particularly enjoyed the church (pic below), and the animated characters (miners, owners of the mine or merchants) telling their stories from the walls were pretty great too, especially for the kids. At the beginning you take a little train for like 5 minutes, and then at the end of the visit there's also a 5min boat ride. The visit lasts a bit less than 4 hours, but there's a 30min break to have some coffee or food (which was not overpriced!) before going back up. If you don't speak Polish, booking an English speaking guide is probably a must.

It was not big as Wieliczka, but good enough.There are not many attractions to see and most of the time we were walking and listening to guide's commentary in Polish. Guide was good and had good sense of humor. Train ride, underground-restaurant and sports facilities were highlights. Commuting from Bochnia was poor. Hardly any taxi at railway ? and was lucky to get one. During return no ? available, so you have to call a Taxi and they charge return fare. Walking is 1.8 kms away. Outside restaurant is good. Kids have playground. For non-Polish people, it is not recommended unless you book a English guide before coming.

Definetely recomend this salt mine for visiting! In tour are weaved multimedia installations, when founders of the salt mine (King Kazimierz, Italian merchants) are telling their stories from screen. During 4 hours trip we have passed all main attractions, and took the underground rook trip. There're underground concert halls, sleeping rooms, gyms. Very appealing trip!
