Wieliczka Salt Mine

The Wieliczka Salt Mine is now home to four chapels, corridors, and statues – all carved out of the rock salt walls. The mine's original shafts and passageways – some as deep as 327 meters underground – have been reopened and allow visitors to explore pits and chambers, walking past statues and alongside stunning architectural marvels. Deep into the mine, an underground lake shimmers against the candlelit walls.

Biskupin Settlement

Often referred to as "the Pompeii of Poland," the Biskupin Settlement is a recreation of the original prehistoric settlement that once thrived in the same place around the late Bronze Age. Now an archeological open-air museum that tells the story of ancient Poland, the settlement showcases what life would have been like back then, with log houses (the original settlement included over 100 homes) and streets covered with wooden planks (as the location meant the streets were always wet and the ground always soft).
