The artwork is fantastic, I just wished there was more of it to see. Personally, I found too much time was given to how they got the salt out of the mines. Our tour guide was wonderful, though. More

A truly awe inspiring place. I must confess that when my brother told me he visited a salt mine on his holidays two things crossed my mind. 1) is this where salt actually comes from and 2) how sad is he going to a mine on his holidays. I could not have been more wrong. You cannot visit Krakow without... More

Deffinately worth a visit. Only problem was that due to many school classes also visiting it was hard hearing the guide. She did do a good job though! More

I was really looking forward to our visit here. The photogrpahs on Tripadvisor and elsewhere had really whetted my appetite. Overall, I couldn't give it an excellent rating, although the scale of the mines and the work, dedication and talent of the miners in creating the fantistic sculptures deserve it.

Not to be missed. Absolutely mind blowing. Do not go all the way to Krakow and miss out on this. More

The mines are pretty expensive by polish standards 68zl (more than Auschwitz which just... More

When you are in Poland it is really a "must see" attraction. Renowned and well maintained, originating from 13th Century old Salt mine, with underground lakes, chapels, sculptures etc. Beautiful chandeliers, all decorated with salt crystals. Very professional staff, charming guides speaking perfect English. You will spend about 3 hours, take some warmer clothes, as the temperature is around 14... More

If travelling from Krakow take the 304 bus - it goes directly there and is very cheap. There is a good guided tour and our guide spoke excellent English. The mines are quite expensive (69zl + 10zl for taking photos) but so impressive its well worth the cost. They dont warn you about the lift you have to take out... More
