Try to avoid Fridays and Sundays as the roads will most probably be clogged with people travelling either to or from Zakopane, but Krakow and Wieliczka are absolute musts.

Krakow absorbs all the superlatives in terms of Polish historical cities and it is a sin not to visit its old central areas, the enormous Market Square or the castle of the Polish kings, the Wawel.

Krakow’s suburb of Wieliczka has probably the most significant technical monument in Poland, which is a well preserved medieval mine where salt was extracted continuously for 700 years. Our guided tour will lead you through several splendid halls, corridors and chapels, all hewn from the rock salt and decorated with carved salt.
