Today my father and I went there (04-09-2019) and we enjoyed our visit. It's a wonderful place. The church is absolutely amazing and the lake itself is beautiful as well. We just loved it! It's probably one of the best attractions in Poland 🇵🇱. We're the visitors from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪

Overall great experience here. I took the English tour and it was very enjoyable. It is a very high traffic attraction so keep that in mind. It took about two hours to do our tour of the mine. You only get to see a fraction of this beautiful place, but nonetheless it is worth while going. I highly recommend getting a tour while in Krakow!!!

Nice tourist spot. Booked the tickets in advance over the website with no problem. This is important to do in advance as individual tourist need to take a guided tour and you should have a look in advance on which time slot you would like to take. The tour is interesting visiting the tourist route through the Wieliczka salt mine. It contains multiple underground chapels and further rooms where salt was mined back in the days.

Definitely one of the best experiences for families in Poland. Easy logistics from Krakow. Unique atmosphere. Beautiful underground halls. As for things to be improved. Part of halls were closed due to covid, it took 30 min to exit, and guide in Russians could be better.
-
Fantastic place to see for something definitely out of the ordinary. Proven artists as well as miners worked here judging by chapels, statues etc. Chandeliers made from salt crystals - it makes you wonder how they knew where to start. You like art in any form you'll find it fascinating here.
