Overview

Join us for an unforgettable one-day trip to Zakopane – a land of mountain landscapes and rich highlander traditions. This experience combines stunning views of the Tatra Mountains, tasting local delicacies, and discovering authentic Polish culture.

It's a rare chance to witness a fading folklore – where locals still wear traditional outfits, play folk music, and proudly share their heritage. You'll enjoy a tasting of Polish vodka and oscypek cheese, explore Zakopane at your own pace, ride a funicular, or unwind in thermal baths (bring a swimsuit, towel, and flip-flops!).

Comfortable transportation and scenic mountain views make this the perfect getaway to feel the true spirit of traditional Poland – before it disappears. You’ll also visit charming Krupówki Street, full of local art, shops, and wooden architecture, and have a chance to purchase regional souvenirs or simply enjoy the mountain town atmosphere.

  • Transfers (Krakow-Zakopane-Krakow)
