Wieliczka Salt Mine

The Wieliczka Salt Mines have to be one of the coolest places I have been to as a tourist.  This little hidden gem is so worth the visit.  It is unlike any salt mine I have ever been to!  Prior to visiting the mine, I was concerned that the little kids would find it boring, but they loved it.  Now if you have trouble with steps this place might not be for you as there are over 800 steps to get the 135 meters underground the tour does require some amount of walking, but it is so worth it.  This was one of the perks of visiting friends in Krakow because I have never seen this place advertised on the internet or featured in a travel video.  The mine is a couple hundred years old and is just spectacular.  Everything is made of salt even the grand chandeliers featured in the underground chapel.  I can't praise this place enough.
