Tourists are offered access to the world's only Underground Multimedia Exhibition, which turns the underground tour in Bochnia into a time travel ranging from the Middle Ages to present day. Before this happens, visitors are offered a train ride 200m below ground. During the tour, the guide's tale is assisted by Polish kings, Genoese merchants and the spirit of Cysters – a monk. With the use of modern multimedia technology, the development of mining techniques throughout the ages is presented, as well as mining professions and underground elements, with which the working miners had to cope. In addition to the underground tourist route, you can also enjoy a boat trip on the underground salt lake, go down a special wooden slide, get on the underground railway, dance in a disco or take part in some sports games.

5.00The trip to Bochnia salt mine was excellent.Bart was our driver/ guide. I was given excellent updates on the trip prior to it commencing regarding pick up times and location. Bart arrived early (10 mins) which wasn't a problem because I was informed of this. The trip itself was very good, full of very useful information from both Bart and our tour guide and I was very happy with the trip.
Must see while in Kraków

5.00Great tour with very interesting and unique things to see. The drive there was pleasant and our guide was super nice and talked to us about Poland and the area. He also came with us for the entire tour to translate from the Polish tour guide - there was not an English tour guide due to low demand. One word of caution - your requires lots of walking including steep inclines and steps. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes.
