Wieliczka Salt Mine

Just a short train ride from Kraków, this is one of those places that feels straight out of a dream 🤩! Descending 👣👣 deep underground (heheheh…almost 500 steps but don’t worry there’s a lift to get back up 😝) you’re greeted by cool, salty air and a maze of tunnels & chambers carved entirely from salt (insane!!!😍) . And given the fact that you visit less than 1% of the mine, you can only imagine its importance.

An absolute highlight for me and my mom was the Chapel of St. Kinga, which is a really breathtaking underground church where even the chandeliers sparkle with salt crystals 🤩🤩Standing there feels quite surreal, almost like stepping into a hidden world… aaaand they do allow getting married there - 135m below the surface..😅 definitely nothing for claustrophobic people…..

If you’re planning a trip to Kraków, don’t miss this 🙃! ➡️ Every corner tells a story of centuries of mining and craftsmanship and is - quite rightly so - a unique UNESCO World Heritage site that definitely merits a visit.Læs mere
