Free & Reduced Tickets

Information on discounts for children, students, families, and visitors with disabilities.

The Wieliczka Salt Mine offers several concessions to make the visit more accessible for families, young people, and other eligible visitors. This page outlines who qualifies for free or reduced-price tickets and how to claim them. Please note that proof of eligibility is required upon entry.

How to Claim Your Discount

Free & Reduced Tickets FAQ

Common questions about discounts

Are there any free admission days for everyone?
Unlike some museums in Poland, the Wieliczka Salt Mine does not have regularly scheduled free admission days for the general public.
Do I need to book a ticket for my 3-year-old child?
While children under 4 are free, you should still include them in your booking by selecting the free child ticket to ensure they are counted in the tour group numbers.
Does an international student card (ISIC) work for the student discount?
Yes, a valid ISIC card is generally accepted as proof for the student discount, as long as you are under 26 years of age.
Is there a discount for carers of disabled visitors?
Policies for carers can vary. It is best to check directly with the mine's booking office when arranging tickets for a visitor with disabilities. See our accessibility page for contact info.
