Wieliczka Salt Mines

Our day trip to Wieliczka Salt Mines will tailored to suit you but to

give you an idea:

Our driver, Stanislaw, will take up to 6 people in our Zafira.  You

would leave Raba 500 any time from 08:00 to 13:00. English

language tours at Wieliczka are available all day until 15:00.  

The journey of 1 to 1.5 hours takes you north east through

Rabka Zdroj, Msana Dolna, Dobczyce and on to Wieliczka. 

Our driver will park then accompany you to the Mines and ensure

you have tickets for the correct tour.

Costs vary but usually, the English language tour costs about

50-60zl.  We charge 300zl for the car for the day trip, so 6 people

pay 60zl each, 2 people pay 150zl each.

He will then return to the car and wait for you.  Take your time: 

there are lots of interesting little shops around the Mines:

Stanislaw does not mind waiting!

The guide will take you down the initial flight of 380 steps: sounds

a lot but they are in flights of about 14 steps and easily negotiated.

The tour of the chambers usually takes about 2.5 hours and ends

at an underground cafe.  When taking the lift back up, wait until

the last cage is available, usually the 4th cage, then you will be

quickly up and quickly out..

We do not charge you extra if you want to combine this trip with

a visit to the Steam Train Museum at Chabowka, and/or the

wooden church and ethnological museum at Rabka Zdroj.

Then the next day, we can take you to the Tatra mountains....!
