The Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland had been producing salt for as long as 700 years until it was opened to tourism in 1996. This incredible salt mine has intricate sculptures and astounding carvings and was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its “outstanding universal value to mankind”.

The carvings of the Wieliczka Salt Mine include historic figures, mythic creatures, large carved chambers and chapels. The mine even boasts an underground lake which lights up with the placement of colored lights. Ornate salt-crystal chandeliers hang from the ceilings of the larger parts of the mine. Amazingly, many of sculptures seen here were carved by the miners themselves.

Trapani is a medium-sized city near the North-West corner of Sicily.

Trapani is the perfect port, and fishing village, being set on a low peninsula stretching in an arc into the sea, the housing of the city melting into plains of salt pans, valuable to the regions economy. Beyond, the solitary plains dotted with windmills dating from the medieval era, lies the open sea stretching to the horizon, punctuated only by the beautiful peak of mount Erice and the Egadi Islands. Erice offers an incredible panorama which enfolds a millenary history as testified by the section of Punic walls which still surrounds it.

In Trapani and surroundings there are many nice beaches to visit.
Trapani has a small airport (Trapani-Birgi Airport). The airport is served by Ryanair, Meridiana and Air One.
