Full description

Start your day trip in the morning where you will be picked up at the reception of your hotel. Enjoy a 2-hour drive to the lovely village of Zakopane while your English-speaking driver provides commentary along the way. After arriving in Zakopane, you'll have 5 hours of free time to explore the village on your own. You can try delicious Polish cuisine, or visit the local market to admire the creations of Polish craftsmen and try the popular smoked cheese. Enter a wooden villa built in a traditional architectural style, or walk through the picturesque streets — the choice is yours. Select the option including tickets for the funicular railway and travel to the top of Gubałówka mountain. Enjoy the view of the village and admire the peaks of the Polish Tatra Mountains around you. During your visit, the driver will wait for you, and after 5 hours you travel back to Krakow together.

We are delighted with all the care and attention that Dominika and Marcel had with us during the entire trip. The Communication was unambiguous, and they were available at all times to answer any questions and adjust the necessary details. Excellent professional conveyed peace and security. We had a wonderful tour. I highly recommend it because I want everyone to have a wonderful time in Poland as we had.

Our tour today was fantastic! The driver was very witty and on time and the drive itself was comfortable. It was snowing really hard so the roads were a bit dangerous but our driver was very cautious and made sure we got home safely. Zakopane was indeed very busy and with a lot of tourists, but we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see. On the way to Zakopane we made two additional stops which were very interesting!

You get a good amount of time to enjoy zakopane I recommend getting tickets for the funicular! The little market at the bottom of the funicular is very nice, as is the market at the top! There are some really nice traditional stalls selling handmade products. I went when the weather was warm and will go back when it is winter as I imagine it is super pretty in the winter months. There is a lot to see, I recommend also going on the little Ferris wheel as you see some good scenes
