Editor's review

The salt mine in Bochnia was founded in the 13th century, however the history of salt extraction in the area dates back 3500 years ago. Today, the salt mine is a great attraction for tourists and after the recent renovation, it presents not only a real marvel but also a modern and interactive spot. The underground route includes a train ride, mysterious multimedia show (not only for children!) and crossing an underground lake by little boat.

Outside the mine is a big and free parking for visitors. The entrance fee varies from 25 to 70 zloty, depending on the route and attractions you choose, including taking a ferry crossing through the underground lake. For those who crave for more adventure, there is also a special route, called The Old Mountains Expedition. From Krakow you can get to Bochnia by train or by bus. From the station you can walk to the mine (approx. 1 km) or use public transport in Bochnia, there is also a taxi stop in front of the station.
