The Wieliczka Salt Mine is one of the most visited World Heritage Sites in Poland. We offer private car transfers from Krakow to Wieliczka and skip-the-line tickets for a group tour of this unique salt mine to give you a hassle-free experience. Take a deep breath of the clean air deep below the earth’s surface and taste the salt on your lips.

Book a 5-hour private trip from Krakow to Wieliczka Salt Mine. We want you to enjoy a hassle-free experience, so we’ll pick you up directly from your accommodation in Krakow in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle. With private car transfers you will get to Wieliczka right on time for your pre-booked group tour, and you’ll have sip-the-line tickets to avoid the long lines. We guarantee you 3 hours of sightseeing with a Licensed Guide who is fluent in your native language.
