This place have unique atmosphere and I highly recommend it to everyone.
One of the best museums in the Krakow region. Quite a lot of walking so be prepared with a proper pair of shoes.
What a nice UNESCO heritage salt mine. You can even visit the very low levels around 800m, they provide the special equipments to make you feel like a miner for a day. Amazing salt sculptures and chapel.
The mines are amazing, definitely worth going to if you are in Krakow, the mines are quite wide so it’s not a problem to move around. You walk down a few steps at first but then you would around quite easily and at the end the lift take you back to the surface. The Pope has even visited the mines.
This salt mine is amazing — head down over 200 stairs and you’ll find churches, horse stables, an entire underground world!
