Not only is Wieliczka Salt Mine 🧂🪨🏗 a World Heritage Site, but it has the distinction of having been included (along with Kraków’s Old Town and Kazimierz districts) on ’s first-ever World Heritage List back in 1978 (you know, back when being a World Heritage site actually meant something).
Additional accolades aside, this unique industrial heritage site has been a popular destination for centuries and if you’re visiting Kraków for more than a few days, you should consider a short side trip out to Wieliczka.
