Located just about 10 km from Krakow is Wieliczka Salt Mine—one of Europe’s most extensive ancient salt mines, featuring a history stretching back 700 years. Although its labyrinthine corridors extend over 245 kilometers, visitors experience approximately 3-kilometer-long tours that encompass more than 20 halls.
