Highlights

Discover Zakopane and the Tatra Mountains on a flexible day trip from Krakow. Travel comfortably with a local guide who will introduce you to the history, traditions, and culture of southern Poland throughout the journey.


Visit a traditional shepherd’s hut (bacówka), where you will taste authentic smoked oscypek cheese paired with regional Polish vodka while learning about local customs and centuries-old traditions of the Podhale region.


Upon arrival in Zakopane, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace. Stroll along the lively Krupówki Street, browse local shops, sample regional cuisine, admire the mountain scenery, or simply relax and enjoy the atmosphere.


For even more spectacular views, you can choose to take the Gubałówka Cable Car, which offers breathtaking panoramas of the Tatra Mountains and Zakopane from above.


You may also decide to spend part of your day at the Chocholow Thermal Baths.

Waiting times for cable cars and popular attractions (such as Gubałówka) may be long, particularly during high season. The tour operator has no control over queues or waiting times.
Participants are advised to wear comfortable footwear and clothing suitable for changing weather conditions.
Mountain views and panoramic scenery are dependent on weather conditions and cannot be guaranteed.

Optional attractions such as the Gubałówka Cable Car and Chocholow Thermal Baths can be purchased directly on-site on the day of the tour.
