Bochnia, the other salt mine
Older than Wieliczka and much quieter, with an underground boat ride and a long wooden slide. Kids talk about it for weeks.

Hot outdoor pools with mountain views. The best end to a hiking day, especially in winter.

Around Zakopane, warm water rises from deep under the mountains, and several towns have built thermal parks around it. You float in a hot outdoor pool while snow lies on the peaks around you.
Kids love the slides, grown-ups love the saunas. I pick the baths that fit your group and the quietest time to go.
It depends on the ages: some have big slides and kids’ pools, others are calmer with more saunas. I pick the right one for your group.
