Head out booking simple and easy and local operator confirmed our hotel pickup the day before. The driver was excellent and guidecdid a good job. The time at Zacapane was a bit overlong as not much to do there after doing the mountain railway. The rest was good especially the thermal baths.

We had a fantastic day in Zakopane. Our guide Mateusz was very knowledgable about each location we visited and made it a brilliant experience. We visited several local areas in Zakopane on the way to the thermal baths and were able to try traditional cheese and vodka as well as having free time in the mountains to grab some lunch and have a go on a gravity slide. The thermal baths were very relaxing and a perfect way to end our city break.

Immerse in Zakopane's rustic charm

As your journey begins from Krakow, prepare to be mesmerized by the scenic splendor en route to Zakopane. Upon arrival, be greeted by meticulously scrubbed wooden houses, showcasing the unique architecture of this mountainous haven. Next, be treated to a sensory delight at a local cheese factory, witnessing the making of Oscypek, the smoked sheep cheese that has been a part of Zakopane's heritage for centuries. Enjoy the flavor of this exquisite cheese, complemented by the sweetness of cranberry jam. A sampling of Polish vodka adds a spirited kick to your tasting experience.
