Well worth visiting - Amazing place, hard to take in the sheer scale of it all. Beautiful carvings & churches all hidden underground. I appreciate tourists only see a fraction of it, but so worth visiting if you’re in the area.

The best of Krakow - This place is just beautiful. If you do nothing else in Krakow, do this! Lots of steps but worth it to see all the caverns and statues. Our tour guide was full of info and could answer any of our questions. Highly recommend.

Beautiful place - Beautiful place the guide inside the mines super knowledgeable and nice. Experience could have been perfect, only complaint in our group was a family with a toddler that screamed from top of his lungs the entire tour and this makes difficult for everyone to hear or enjoy There should be a limit on age, caves is not exactly the best place for a baby

Great experience. Well organised. - Great experience and punctual. Good tour guide. All was as described on the material. The skip the cue was the best option as there was a lot of people cuing there and we just got through with minimal wait.

Untitled - Wieliczka Krakow Salt Mines Two or three rooms to see for the ingenuity and work of the miners, the others no big deal. If you are not trained and good walkers or you have some walking problem or some pathology, non andadeci is quite heavy, between corridors and stairs, unfortunately so many people. The movie ending arrived at the queues in the corridors leading to the elevators, you relax thinking you're done...... and instead no... there is still a lot of tunnels to go to get there. And then..... the elevator, you just pray it doesn't get stuck. For me it was heavy.....
