Additional Information

Situated approximately 10 miles (16 km) from the city center, within the boundaries of the Krakow metropolitan area, is the town of Wieliczka, known globally for its esteemed Salt Mine. This mine stands as a testament to mankind’s technological advancements over the centuries. From the 16th century, it began to draw royal visitors due to its flourishing culture and perceived health benefits. Over the subsequent years, miners transformed this once typical gloomy cave into a regal spot. By the 19th century, colossal salt-crystal chandeliers illuminated the underground complex, a feature that continues today. The impressive salt-carved monuments lining the chambers and exhibits displaying historic salt-mining technology contribute to its majesty. Furthermore, an underground lake, four chapels and diverse statues crafted by miners enhance its charm. A tour incorporating the mineshafts and labyrinth, coupled with modern sculptures by present-day artists, intensifies the allure of this globally revered location.

Transport and tour arrangements at its best. - The salt mine is fantastic. However, I will also give my highest recommendations to The Tours Brothers. The driver (the owner) did his outmost to have our trips go as planned and we even had the extra complication that one our travel party was partly disabled. He made sure everything was in order with respect to special tour times and such. We also used The Tours Brothers to go to Auswitch and to/from the Airport. Timely, punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. Can only recommend.

Fantastic Tour Company - If you are looking for easy and convenient transport around Krakow or the surrounding regions, you should book with Kamil at Tours Brothers. Kamil is super friendly and knowledgeable. He's spent years in the business driving tourists from around the world throughout Poland. You'll be able to spend more time exploring the sites you want to see rather than trying to figure out how to get around. He knew exactly where to go to drop us off and pick us up in the most convenient locations.
