Description
Discover the best of Zakopane on a full-day experience that combines culture, breathtaking mountain views, regional flavors, and relaxing time in thermal pools. Choose the option that suits you best: hotel pickup for maximum comfort or a more affordable meeting point in central Krakow.
Start your day with a smooth departure from Krakow and enjoy a scenic journey toward the Tatra Mountains. Your friendly tour leader will greet you, share local insights, and make sure you have everything you need for a perfect trip.
Your first stop is the charming wooden village of Chochołów, located near the Slovakian border. Known for its beautifully preserved wooden houses and highlander traditions, this village offers a glimpse into the authentic mountain lifestyle. Enjoy a peaceful walk and take photos of the unique UNESCO-listed architecture.
Continue to a traditional shepherd’s hut, where you’ll taste freshly grilled oscypek cheese and try a shot of highlander alcohol. This moment captures the true spirit of the region and brings you closer to local culture.
Once in Zakopane, explore the lively local market filled with handmade crafts, regional treats, and souvenirs. Then ride the funicular up to Gubałówka Hill and take in one of the most stunning panoramas of the Tatra Mountains. You’ll also enjoy free time along the famous Krupówki Street — full of cafés, restaurants, and traditional mountain charm.
After exploring the town, it’s time to unwind at the Chochołów Thermal Baths, one of the largest and most modern spa complexes in the area. Relax in warm mineral pools, enjoy saunas, or soak in outdoor jacuzzis overlooking the mountains. You’ll have up to 3 hours to enjoy the healing geothermal water and recharge your energy.
At the end of a perfect day filled with adventure, culture, and relaxation, your driver will take you back to Krakow — either directly to your hotel or to the original meeting point, depending on the option you selected. Get ready for an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Polish mountains.
