So you want to visit the world's oldest mining heritage museum? The first thing you need to decide is...
If you have your own car, or don't require help getting to the mines, then you can book the trusty Wieliczka Salt Mine Tour with skip-the-line access.
It's all you need to plumb the incredible depths of Polish mining history, with an expert guide leading you deeper underground, like Jamiroquai ca. 1998.
Alternatively, you can leave the navigation to the experts, and enjoy the same line-skipping privileges and guided tour experience as above, but with full roundtrip transport from Krakow.
