Impresionante lugar que visitar a 20 minutos en tren del centro de Cracovia. Sin embargo, está MUY masificado, hay muchísima gente en un lugar formado por túneles bajo tierra. Los medios que te proporcionan para seguir la visita guiada son del todo insuficientes (petaca + casco), y la guía necesita unas clases de dicción, no se le entendía una palabra.
Mi recomendación es comprar las entradas en la página web oficial. Hay trabajando más de 500 guías. Te dan un audioguia y vas escuchando lo que la guía va diciendo. Vas bajando por los distintos niveles de la mina, hasta llegar a 135m bajo tierra. Por dentro es muy bonito, todo está hecho con sal, y en una de las salas hay una iglesia hecha toda de sal. Desde Cracovia se puede ir en tren a las minas de Sal.
Sin duda lugar que merece la pena visitar. Un sitio realmente auténtico que no lo ves en otro sitio. Al comprar la entrada es con un guía si o si. Hay que ir en grupo y el guía te va explicando las distintas salas. Realmente impresionante. La forma de salida no te explican porque ascensor se va ha hacer. Te puede tocar en un ascensor normal que entran 20 personas aproximadamente. O en un pequeño ascensor de 4 personas. Creo que la experiencia es más auténtica si te toca el ascensor pequeñito. Pero no hay forma de elegirlo o al menos a mí grupo nos separaron y a cada uno nos tocó una cosa.
