Escape Kraków for a full day in the Tatra Mountains on this expertly guided trip to Zakopane — Poland's beloved highland capital. Just 90 minutes from the city.
Your day begins with a stop at a traditional shepherd's hut (bacówka), where you'll taste oscypek — the region's famous smoked sheep's cheese — alongside local highland spirits. From there, it's on to Zakopane, where you'll ride the historic cable car to the summit of Gubałówka for sweeping panoramic views of the Tatras, then have free time to explore the vibrant Krupówki promenade.
Choose the experience that suits you best: the Classic option gives you maximum flexibility and the lowest price — pay only for the extras you want, at local prices with no platform commission. Or go for the Adventure option and add a thrilling guided quad bike ride through the Tatra foothills, followed by a campfire feast, before heading into Zakopane for the rest of the day.
