Operating continuously since the 13th century, Wieliczka is celebrated as one of the oldest and best-preserved salt mines in the world. However, it is much more than just a historical excavation site—it is a breathtaking subterranean city.

It is a true masterpiece of human craftsmanship that attracts over a million visitors from around the globe every year.
