As you walk down 360 steps into the salt mine, you get the impression of entering a vast underground city, complete with huge caverns and underground lakes. This underground world has earned a place on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list thanks to the creativity of the miners who carved chapels out of the walls, hundreds of meters below the surface. You will visit the largest of the chapels dedicated to St Kinga, the patron saint of salt miners. This subterranean church is richly decorated with chandeliers, sculptures, and religious figures carved out of salt. As you follow the 2 1/2-kilometre walk, you'll pass statues dating back to the 18th century depicting mythical, historical and religious figures. The last stop in the mine is the souvenir shop and snack bar. From here, the lift carries you back to the surface.

"The only minus points were the pick up, in that it wasn't mentioned that you get picked up taken to another place and then put on your right coach. The only other disappointing aspect to a very nice visit was the commercialised salt mines, everything is too clean and rushed and we eeven had to take the lift down missing the 360 steps, which should all be part of the experience. Only then these miner issues, we enjoyed our visit."
