The Wieliczka Salt Mine has produced salt since the 13th century. Over 300 m deep, more than 200 km of passages. Showpiece: the underground Chapel of St. Kinga. About 800 steps; cool underground (mid-50s°F).
Main Market Square (Rynek Główny) is one of the largest medieval squares in Europe, with the Renaissance Cloth Hall at its center.
St. Mary's Basilica is famous for Veit Stoss's carved wooden altarpiece and the hejnał — a trumpet call sounded every hour and cut off mid-note.
Schindler's Enamel Factory is the actual factory where Oskar Schindler saved about 1,200 Jews; now a museum.
