Highlights
  • Koscielisko - On your way to Zakopane, you will visit the place where one of the most unique cheeses in the world is made.
    Highlanders - local settlers, famous for their manual production of “oscypek”. It is a type of smoked cheese made from sheep’s milk. The wooden houses where this cheese is produced are called “Bacówki”. In such a small wooden hut you will be able to try different types of this cheese with different degrees of smoking, as well as learn how it is made. Travel time from Krakow is approximately 2 hours.
  • Krupowki Street - If Zakopane is considered the beating heart of the Tatra Mountains, then Krupówki can be described as the heart of Zakopane itself. This bustling thoroughfare is not only the town’s most popular pedestrian street but also serves as a central hub and gathering place.

Throughout the year, Krupówki Street is teeming with tourists who peruse the various shops and dine at the local restaurants lining the avenue. It’s a prime location to discover and purchase an array of traditional highlander merchandise, including clothing and souvenirs.

During your visit, you’ll have some free time to explore Zakopane independently. Starting from Krupówki, take your time to explore the city and seek out other points of interest.

  • Gubalowka - While in Zakopane, taking the cable car to Gubałówka’s summit at 1123 meters above sea level is an absolute must. A modern cable car with a glass roof provides a scenic ascent, offering breathtaking views of the intricate layers of Tatra vegetation and the towering peaks of the Polish high mountains. At the summit, you’ll find numerous attractions, including a stunning panoramic view of the Tatra Mountains, an uninterrupted vista of the mountain town of Zakopane nestled at the mountain’s base, and the opportunity to bask in the sunshine for relaxation.
  • Chocholowskie Termy - After exploring Zakopane and the surrounding area, the driver will transport you to the thermal pools, where you will be able to relax and feel the health properties of thermal water. After relaxing in the thermal baths, your driver will take you back to Krakow (return time is approximately 2 hours).
