The Weiliczka Salt Mine is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that shouldn’t be missed. Visitors can take a two-hour tour of this underground oasis passing through labyrinthine passages and crystal chambers that appear to lead right into the Earth’s center. While over 140 feet below the surface, guests will come across lakes, one-of-a-kind salt monuments, and even complete churches. Open since the Middle Age, this UNESCO-listed World Heritage Monument has continued to be a popular site due to its microclimate consisting of a temperature that remains between 44 and 53-degrees Fahrenheit with remarkably mineralized humid air. The highlights are the gorgeously decorated chambers, especially the Copernicus and Pilsudski chambers.
