Visit Zakopane, the winter capital of Poland, located at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. With breathtaking views and picturesque natural landscapes, it is 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 will start with a visit to a shepherd’s hut, where you will taste the traditional smoked cheese called ‘oscypek’. Then you will visit the Regional Museum to look at Zakopane art. After the visit, you will get into a funicular that will take you straight to the top of Mount Gubałówka to experience an imposing view of the granite and limestone peaks of the Tatras. During your free time, you can stay on Mount Gubałówka or ride down to the huge regional market square and eat dinner in one of the restaurants offering local delicacies.
