In October I visited both the Bochnia and Wieliczka salt mines.

Bochnia I accessed by train from Krakow Glowny. The mine was entered and exited via the Campi shaft. Although toured in a group, it was more laid back with plenty of stops for photographs. The commentary was only available in Polish.

Wieliczka I accesed by bus #304 from near Krakow Glowny station. Entry to the mine was via the Danilowicza shaft. This mine receives far more visitors than Bochnia and although I has a commentary in English, the group had to keep moving to keep ahead of the next one. The mine was more extensive, and included a restaurant where I stopped for lunch on the lowest level. I then exited via the St Regis shaft and returned to Krakow by train, which was far more comfortable than the bus.
