Description

Soak up the views of the Tatra Mountains on this day trip to Zakopane. Visit the village of Chocholow to taste local Oscypek cheese and Polish vodka, then ride the Mt. Gubałówka funicular, and stroll along Krupówki Street. Embark on a magical trip to Zakopane, the heart of Polish highland culture and one of the most unique destinations in Europe. This unforgettable excursion takes you to the foot of the majestic Tatra Mountains, where breathtaking natural beauty meets rich local traditions. During the journey to Zakopane, make two amazing stops. Stopping in Chochołów is optional – visit one of the most beautiful villages in Southern Poland, where you'll find the oldest houses inhabited by locals. You’ll also have the option to stop at a shepherd's hut, where regional cheeses like oscypek are made, and enjoy a tasting of Polish vodka. Learn about the local traditions, take wonderful photos, and immerse yourself in the highlander culture. One of the highlights of the trip is a visit to the Chochołowskie Thermal Baths — the largest thermal pool complex in the Podhale region. Relax and unwind in natural thermal waters, surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery, and experience the perfect combination of nature and relaxation. Upon arriving in Zakopane, your guide will provide you with all the necessary tickets for the funicular ride, helping you skip the ticket office queues. We’ll then take the funicular railway up to Gubałówka, where unforgettable views of the Tatra Mountains await! Spend about 25 minutes exploring the summit and enjoying the stunning landscapes. At the top, you’ll have free time to soak in the views before descending by the mountain cable car. Afterward, enjoy your free time on Krupówki Street – stroll along the iconic street, savor delicious local dishes, take leisurely walks to admire mountain views, and buy souvenirs. Zakopane’s story began as a small shepherd village in the 17th century, hidden in the valleys beneath the Tatra Mountains. Over time, it grew from a quiet settlement into a beloved mountain resort, attracting artists, writers, and travelers seeking inspiration and fresh mountain air. Zakopane is not just a place – it’s a feeling. With its stunning mountain scenery, lively culture, soothing thermal waters, and one-of-a-kind atmosphere, this highland gem offers an experience that simply can’t be found anywhere else in the world.
