Families
Older than Wieliczka and much quieter, with an underground boat ride and a long wooden slide. Kids talk about it for weeks.
Bochnia is the oldest salt mine in Poland, worked since the Middle Ages. The visit is more of an adventure than a museum: a small train, a boat on an underground lake and a wooden slide used by miners.
You can even sleep underground in the mine’s chambers. For families it’s often a better choice than the busy classic.
Wieliczka for the grand chapels, Bochnia for adventure with kids and far fewer people. With enough time, I suggest one, not both.
Hot outdoor pools with mountain views. The best end to a hiking day, especially in winter.
Poland’s biggest theme park, with rollercoasters for brave teenagers and gentle rides for little ones.
Chapels, lakes and chandeliers carved out of salt, deep under the ground. Or put on a helmet for the miners’ route.
