Zakopane is such a cute little town. I absolutely adored the gingerbread looking houses and the fact that that you can buy this great local cheese called Oscypek. The views from the mountains are breathtaking.

I appreciated JayWay's personalized trip itinerary that was specific to my family's interests/connections to Poland and having less stress about having to book each activity/coordinate travel. The guided tours in each city made for a memorable trip where we were able to connect with each city, its history, and the culture better than if we were exploring on our own.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Zakopane
How can I get around Zakopane?
Zakopane's main artery is Krupowki Street, a long pedestrian road flanked by loads of shops, restaurants, and bars, and near the hotels we recommend. At one end, you can ride a funicular to the peak of Mt. Gubalowka, which offers an amazing panorama of Zakopane and its neighbors. There are also frequent buses to popular trailheads and cable car stations, which depart from the other end of Krupowki, near the bus/train station.
How long should I stay in Zakopane?
Zakopane is small, so how long you stay depends on how much hiking you want to do. You could easily spend a week or more, but if it's just a stop as part of a longer tour, 1-2 nights tend to suffice, allowing you to enjoy some hiking (or at least views after funicular or cable car rides), and soak in some of its neighbor and unusual highlander architecture, art, and folklore.
