I've been there and would recommend it to every visitor to the region. I went around Christmas time and the place was packed. It cost 50 or 60 PLN to get in. I have a question. Where does all the cash go?

Merged: Does anyone know which Chopin song is played during the visit to Wieliszka salt mines?

Hello everybody,

I visited the mine salt near Krakow a few weeks ago. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it.

During the visit, we entered a dark cave with water and large stairs on the right side. Then, some lights appeared et a Chopin's song was played for a couple of minutes.

I've been looking for this one on internet but I cannot find the title of this song. I remember it was amazing and I'd love to hear it again!

So, if anyone has any clue, I'd thank you very much !

Found some clues on the salt mine's website. I've been there years ago and didn't know they made such major changes - therefore thanks for reminding me about that place, definitely going to visit it this year!
