Another highly recommended place to visit is the salt mine near Krakow. It’s only a short train ride from Krakow main railway station, and the public transport is excellent in and around the city by the way.
This mine was started in the 17th century and goes down 135 metres. Along the way your tour guide will explain the history, and dangers experienced by the brave men that worked down there and you will see an array of amazing carvings from the rock salt, underground chambers and lakes. Here are some images and videos.
