The Salt Mines were the best thing about our trip to Krakow. Get a mini bus from opposite the new Galleria Krakowski shopping centre for 2.5zl (about 70p in £ sterling)and it only takes about 20 minutes.

Thought the mines were fascinating and our guide was very knowledgeable. The Kinga Chapel is breathtaking.

Be prepared that the lift back to the surface is somewhat primitive, small and very crowded. But it's over in a few seconds so don't let it put you off.

You'll kick yourself if you miss this one!
