Overview
We invite you to visit Zakopane – the winter capital of Poland located at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, with breathtaking views and picturesque natural landscapes that are enchanting not only in winter but at every time of the year! Captivating scenery, characteristic folk culture, highlander-style cuisine, numerous tourist trails and ski routes – all of this contributes to the richness of Zakopane, which is the most popular mountain tourist resort in Poland. The trip starts in Kraków and takes you to Zakopane via the scenic "Zakopianka" road.
The first stop is the visit to shepherd's hut in Witów where participants learn the process of making and get to taste the famous highlander's cheese "Oscypek". The next stop is the visit to The Museum of Zakopane Style at Villa Koliba. Following that visit participants will take the funicular to the top of Gubałówka Mountain to catch a breathtaking view of the granite and limestone peaks of the Tatras. During their ‘spare time’ tourist can stay on Mount Gubałówka or go down to the huge regional market square and famous Krupówki Street to eat dinner in one of the restaurants offering local delicacies. After a day full of attractions guests will go back to Kraków.
