About This Activity

Join us for an immersive day trip to Zakopane, one of Poland's most beloved destinations, famous for its unique folklore, stunning mountain scenery, and outdoor activities. Starting with a comfortable pickup from your hotel, you'll travel in a modern, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver. From Krakow, you'll be driven through the picturesque Polish countryside, with the Tatra Mountains as your stunning backdrop.

Once in Zakopane, you’ll have the option to choose from four tailor-made packages, each offering a different way to experience the beauty of this alpine region. The Tatra National Park package leads you through Morskie Oko Lake, a picturesque spot that involves a gentle 2-hour hike through lush landscapes, offering breathtaking mountain vistas. Afterward, you’ll have time to relax and take in the beauty of the area before heading to the medieval village of Chochołów.

Alternatively, opt for the Kasprowy Wierch package to ride the Kasprowy Wierch cable car to one of the highest points in the Tatra Mountains. From the top, take in panoramic views before spending some time at the summit. Then, you’ll have a leisurely visit to Krupówki Street, Zakopane’s main thoroughfare, where you can browse local shops, enjoy regional cuisine, and experience the vibrant atmosphere of this mountain town.

For a more laid-back experience, the Gubałówka package takes you up the Gubałówka Hill by funicular railway, offering stunning views of the town and the Tatra peaks. Then, explore Krupówki Street at your leisure, with the chance to shop for handmade souvenirs or sample local delicacies.

Lastly, if you’re seeking relaxation, the Gubałówka and Bukovina Thermal Baths package combines a scenic funicular ride with a visit to the Bukovina Thermal Baths. Enjoy a few hours of rejuvenation in hot springs surrounded by mountains, an ideal way to unwind after a day of sightseeing.

Regardless of your chosen package, the day will be filled with awe-inspiring natural beauty, cultural exploration, and relaxation, making it the perfect escape from the city. Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventure seeker, or someone looking to experience Poland’s rich folklore, this tour has something for everyone.

Gregory was an excellent driver friendly and professional. We'd specifically request him again if we return to Krakow. temperature and thick fog during our ascent, we still enjoyed our day. Luckily, the clouds cleared just enough to reveal the stunning views at the summit.
