Visit Zakopane - a town surrounded by the Tatra Mountains. It is famous for its unique local culture connected with the life of highlanders in the Podhale region. It is also the skiing capital of Poland. Krupowki is the local bazaar street in Zakopane where you can shop for souvenirs or try local food like the smoked cheese called Oscypek and flavoured vodka.
In Chocholow village, you can see the traditional wooden houses built by highlanders centuries ago and where the largest thermal baths complex is located.

Zakopane on a rainy day.
Our driver, Oscar, was in contact with us at all times. He is a good driver.
Even though it rained and the fog prevented us from seeing the mountain range, the experience was interesting (with a thermal bath included).

Wonderful day trip with Jordan as our guide
Our trip was great from start to finish. Our guide was called Jordan and he was informative, helpful and nothing was too much trouble for him. The cable car trip was brilliant, as was our visit to zacopane, we enjoyed seeing the Shepard’s hut a tasting the cheese and vodka and the wooden town was very impressive. We finished in the thermal baths and had a nice relaxing couple of hours there. The trip to and from the different areas we visited were comfortable and timely. Thanks again Jordan you made our trip very enjoyable and stress free. Highly recommend

Incredible experience
Zakopane was absolutely beautiful...stunning mountain views and a nice atmosphere that made it such a memorable day. The thermal pools were the real highlight though. Soaking in warm water surrounded by a beatiful view was incredible, especially after a full day of exploring. Our guide Michał was fantastic, friendly, funny and informative. He suggested the best spot at the thermal pools. Couldn't recommend this experience enough!
