 THE DANILOWICZ SHAFT by matcrazy1
The Mine is accessible from Krakow Main Railway Station (Dworzec Glowny) by cheap LUX-BUS and CONTRA minibuses.
They go everyday every 5 min. to late evening hours. Their next stops in Krakow are opposite to Main Post Office and at Starowislna Street.
There is another minibus UNIBUS outside downtown of Krakow: it starts from Nowy Kleparz
You start your underground tour in the Danilowicz Shaft.

 TAXI STAND IN SZCZEPANSKI
SQUARE IN KRAKOW by matcrazy1
I recommend you to get to Wieliczka from Krakow by a taxi. It's cheap, fast (ca 20 min. from Krakow's downtown, up to 30-40 min. during ruch hours) and the most comfortable to get there.
I'm sure that you shouldn't pay more then 10 Euro/US$ for one way.
MUCH MORE: follow the link below to my taxi tips on my Krakow's page.

 BUS 204 TO WIELICZKA by matcrazy1
You can get to Wieliczka by a scheduled bus No 204 but it starts not in the downtown, it goes from... Borek Falecki. So you have to get to Borek Falecki first (by another bus or by a tram).
Ticket to Wieliczka costs 2.2 PLN (4 PLN = 1 Euro/US$). Cheap? hehe

 WIELICZKA by matcrazy1
Wieliczka Salt Mine is situated in city of Wieliczka, nowadays practically on the outskirts of Krakow, about 10 kilometres (6 miles) southeast of Krakow's center.
You can get to the mine:
- by a car,
- by a taxi (MY RECOMENDATION),
- by a bus (NOT recommended),
- by a minibus (MY RECOMENDATION),
- by a train (NOT recommended).
For more adventeorus travellers:
- by a bicycle,
- on foot (a little long way hehe).
Drive the E 40 route direction Tarnow and Rzeszow and turn right to Wieliczka on the suburbs of Krakow. Follow the direction signs.

The best way to get to Wieliczka from Krakow is the minibus. You´ll be there in half an hour.
I don´t remember where they depart from, but people in hotels/hostels will certainly be able to help you with this.
From the bus stop, ask for the directions and walk. The mine is not far. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Hope this helps... by coceng
Ask people for a better direction.
Also, you will get your bus back to Krakow from the same junction although the bus is not frequent so it's better you are well-informed of the departure time from Krakow & back to Krakow. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
