Wieliczka Salt Mine
Since the Wieliczka Salt Mine is over 10 kilometers away from Cracow Old Town, we provide special Dragon Swing buses to help you to get there and take you back to Kraków. You will find your return BUS TICKET to Wieliczka in your welcome pack. Please, check and respect your departure time. Be on time!
Don’t miss your bus, there may not be a place for you in the next bus.
You can also go to Wieliczka by public bus or train. The bus number 304 runs from the bus stop on Ogrodowa Str. Train goes from „Kraków Główny” - Main station to „Wieliczka Rynek – Kopalnia” station. You can buy a ticket in the ticket machines placed in the entrance to the platforms or on the train (cash only).
The happy ones having a car can drive along Wielicka Street and then the Road number 94 will lead them straight to Wieliczka.
The party will last until 4 a.m., but if you don’t want to stay until the end, you will be able to leave the mine earlier.
Take at least 2 pairs of shoes (dancefloor might be slippery).
Don't worry about food or drinks - you will find everything in the underground bar and restaurant!
Smoking: there will be a specially designated smoking area. Outside this area smoking is strictly forbidden.
Cell Phones: Although the party takes place 135 m underground it is possible for the most of the mobile phones to work there.
