Zakopane and the Tatras: understanding the region
Zakopane has just under 30,000 inhabitants and lies in a valley between the small mountain of Gubałówka (altitude 1,126 meters / 3,694 ft) and the main Tatra range, whose Polish peaks reach around 2,500 meters (8,200 ft). The town stands between 750 and 1,130 meters above sea level (2,460 to 3,710 ft).
The Tatras are the highest part of the Carpathians and form a natural border between Poland and Slovakia. It is the most spectacular mountain area in the country, which explains why Zakopane has become the favorite destination for Poles for skiing, hiking, ski jumping or simply fresh-air breaks in the mountains.
The area also has thermal baths, spas and a water park, which shows that the Tatras are associated with wellness just as much as with sports.
The name "Carpathians" always reminds me of the novel Dracula (which is set in Transylvania, in the Romanian Carpathians). In reality, this vast mountain chain crosses eight countries in Central and Eastern Europe, including Poland.

How to get to Zakopane from Krakow?
Zakopane lies in southern Poland, about 100 km (around 60 miles) from Krakow. There is no airport here: most travelers reach Zakopane from Krakow by bus, train, car or on an organized tour.
Comparing transport options between Krakow and Zakopane
There are several ways to get to Zakopane from Krakow. Here is a quick overview of the main options.
| Transport | Average duration | When to choose this option? | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bus | About 2h15 | Ideal for a day trip from Krakow | Frequent, cheap, direct connection | Can be very full in high season |
| Train | About 2h to 2h30 | Good if you prefer a more comfortable journey | Comfortable, less affected by road traffic | Less frequent departures |
| Car | 1h45 to 2h (without traffic) | Best if you want to explore the Tatras for several days | Flexible, convenient for reaching trailheads | Frequent traffic jams on the Zakopianka road |
| Organized tour | Full day (8 to 10 hours) | Perfect if you do not want to deal with logistics | Transport included, guided visits | Less flexible, fixed itinerary |
In practice, apart from guided excursions which are very popular, the bus remains the most common way to travel from Krakow to Zakopane, as departures are frequent, trips are direct and prices are very affordable.
Getting to Zakopane by bus
The bus is the simplest and most widely used way to travel from Krakow to Zakopane. Buses leave from Krakow's main bus station (Krakow M.D.A.) and go directly to Zakopane in about 2h15. There are frequent departures throughout the day and buses are direct. Tickets are also very cheap (usually under €15, about $16 / £13, round trip).
You can check schedules and book your ticket on the E-Podroznik website. In low season, many travelers simply buy their ticket at the station; in winter, summer and during school holidays, it is better to book ahead of time.
Practical tip: At Krakow's bus station, a display board shows the next departures (about 15 minutes in advance) and the stand number where your bus will leave. The stand number starts either with a D or a G. The bus station has two levels and the letter simply tells you whether the bus leaves from the upper level (letter G) or the lower level (letter D – just go outside the building and take the stairs). Everything is clearly signposted with pictograms, so even if you do not speak Polish you should still find your way around!

Getting to Zakopane by train
There are train connections between Krakow ("Kraków Główny" station) and Zakopane, with journey times usually between 2h and 2h30 depending on the train. Trains are comfortable and help you avoid some of the traffic jams on the Zakopianka road. However, tickets are more expensive (often around €25, about $28 / £22, for a round trip) and trains are less frequent than buses.
You can buy tickets on E-Podroznik (trains appear in the results together with buses, with a train icon and sometimes the wording PKP). You can also buy them at the station.

Getting to Zakopane by car
By car, plan about 1h45 to 2h without traffic. The main road, called Zakopianka, can be very congested on weekends and during holidays.
Once you arrive, there are plenty of parking lots around the town center and near the Gubałówka funicular. A car is handy if you plan to explore the surrounding area or drive to different trailheads in the Tatras.
My opinion: for a day trip from Krakow, the bus is usually the best compromise. If you stay several days and want to explore the region more thoroughly, a car offers much more flexibility.
Guided tour or independent transport?
From Krakow, it is quite straightforward to reach Zakopane on your own. But you can also join an organized tour that includes transport and sometimes several activities in the Tatras.
A guided tour can be a good option if:
- You want to visit Zakopane in a single day without managing logistics;
- You would like to combine several places (Zakopane + the village of Chochołów, Lake Morskie Oko, thermal baths, etc.) without renting a car;
- You prefer having a guide to understand the region and its history.
On the other hand, traveling independently is often better if:
- You like traveling at your own pace;
- You plan to go hiking in the Tatras;
- You are staying in the area for several days.
- This tour to Zakopane and the Tatras covers the main sights in the resort as well as the traditional village of Chochołów.
- This tour combining Zakopane and the thermal baths is ideal if you want to end the day with a relaxing soak in hot springs.
- This trip into the Tatras includes several hours of free time in Zakopane so you can explore the town at your own pace.
- This tour combining Morskie Oko, Zakopane and the thermal baths lets you discover one of the most beautiful lakes in the Tatras before relaxing in the hot springs of Chochołów.
- This excursion to the Dunajec Gorge and Zakopane offers a more nature-focused experience with a traditional raft trip down the river.

Getting around the resort and the Tatras
The good news is that you do not necessarily need a car to visit Zakopane. The town center is quite compact and many places can be reached easily on foot.Zakopane also has a local bus network linking the center to various neighborhoods and several access points into the Tatras. These buses are especially handy for reaching some trailheads or nearby villages.
You can check timetables and a route map on the town's official website.
For some trips into the Tatras, you can also use private minibuses (often called "marszrutki"), which are very common in the region. They serve popular entrances to Tatra National Park and neighboring villages.
Of course, if you want to see a wide variety of places in a tight schedule or combine several hikes, driving is still the most flexible option. But for a visit focused on Zakopane and the best-known sights, local transport is enough.
What to do in Zakopane? Top things to see and do
The must-sees in Zakopane combine sweeping views of the Tatras, typical wooden architecture, leisurely strolls in a charming town center, and plenty of excursions and hikes in the surrounding nature. Whether you come for a day from Krakow or for a longer stay, you will have no trouble filling your time.
Head up to Kasprowy Wierch
One of the essential experiences in Zakopane is taking the cable car up to Kasprowy Wierch, one of the most famous peaks in the Polish Tatras. A cable car connects the resort directly to an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters (about 6,560 ft), offering beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and the valley where Zakopane sits as you ascend.
Once at the top, you have several options. If you prefer a low-key visit, you can simply enjoy the scenery and go have a look at the weather observatory, perched on the summit and often described as the highest building in all of Poland.

If you enjoy walking, you can follow the trail that runs along the ridge. A fun detail: the path marks the border between Poland and Slovakia. Even outside winter, it is not unusual to see patches of snow up here, so proper footwear is important.
The cable car operates year-round but may close temporarily due to weather conditions or maintenance. You can check its operating status on the official website, along with ticket prices and opening hours.
In winter, Kasprowy Wierch is also a popular starting point for skiers: several black runs descend from the summit and attract experienced skiers and snowboarders. The ski season generally runs from January to March, with some of the best snow conditions often coming toward the end of winter.
Gubałówka: easy-access funicular and panoramic view
If you are looking for a nice viewpoint over the Tatras without a big hike, Gubałówka Hill is ideal. It is very popular with visitors and offers an open panorama over the Tatra range and the town of Zakopane.
You can reach it easily using the Gubałówka funicular, whose lower station is just a short walk from the town center. In just a few minutes, it takes you up to the top of the hill. You can check prices and opening hours for the funicular online. I also describe the ascent and views in more detail in my article about Gubałówka Hill.

The summit is very developed, with lots of restaurants, cafés and souvenir shops. The atmosphere is quite touristy - some people even nickname it "Zakopane's Disneyland" - but the view of the Tatras is still very impressive. For a meal, the restaurants Po Widoki and Jedlica are good options compared with many of the other places on top.
If you want to extend your walk, you can follow the ridge for about 2 kilometers (around 1.2 miles) to Butorowy Wierch. From there, a chairlift takes you back down to Zakopane in about 15 minutes (be sure to check in advance that it is open). You can also walk back down; in summer, a small access fee of a few zlotys may be charged since part of the path crosses private land.
At the top you will also find several attractions, including Ropes Gold Ridge, a treetop adventure park, and the famous gravity toboggan run, where you zoom down the slope in a small cart (ticket prices here). It is hugely popular with children… and with curious adults who want to give it a try!

The town center: Krupówki Street and local crafts
After enjoying the views of the Tatras, I recommend spending some time in Zakopane's town center. Tourism is the main activity here and you feel it at once: souvenir shops, restaurants, craft markets… everything is geared toward visitors but the overall atmosphere remains pleasant.
The heart of town is Krupówki Street, a long pedestrian cobbled street lined with cafés, restaurants and shops. It is the liveliest part of Zakopane, where you will see hikers, families and groups of friends strolling around at the end of the day.
Around Krupówki, you will find a mix of modern shops and wooden chalets housing local craft stores. They sell traditional items (hand-carved wooden objects, ceramics, sheepskins, leather coats...) as well as more classic souvenirs. This busy commercial life adds to the charm of the resort.


Finally, you will find the main post office at the far end of Krupówki Street. It is an easy place to buy postcards and stamps. The system is very organized: a machine asks why you are visiting (for example, buying stamps), then gives you a ticket with a number for the right counter.
Architecture and heritage: discovering the Zakopane style
Zakopane has a very distinctive architectural identity known as the "Zakopane style". This movement, developed at the end of the 19th century by artist and architect Stanisław Witkiewicz, blends traditional wooden architecture from the Tatras, Art Nouveau elements and carved decorations inspired by local folklore.
You can recognize this style by its richly carved wooden façades, elaborate balconies and very steep roofs designed to withstand heavy snowfalls. You will see it on many villas, museums and churches throughout the town.
Wooden churches in Zakopane
As in much of Poland, religion plays an important role in local life and Zakopane has many churches. During your visit, you will soon notice that there are several masses every day and that locals take an active part in services.
One of the churches that is worth the trip is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fatima on Krzeptówki Street, about 3 km (1.9 miles) from the town center. The current church was consecrated by Pope John Paul II during his pilgrimage to Poland in 1997. Its architecture is modern but the interior is largely made of wood, remaining faithful to local traditions.

Another remarkable building is the Jaszczurówka Chapel (Kaplica Jaszczurówka), built entirely of wood in the Zakopane style. Located about 4 km (2.5 miles) from the center, it is often included in sightseeing tours around the town.
Right in the town center, do not miss the Stary Kościół (“old church”), built in 1847 on Kościeliska Street. It is the oldest wooden church in Zakopane, also known as the Church of Our Lady of Częstochowa. When I visited, it was packed, with people singing all the way out on the front steps.

Villas and houses in Zakopane style
The Zakopane style is not limited to churches: you will see it in many villas built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These richly decorated wooden houses reflect the influence of architect Stanisław Witkiewicz and his ambition to create an architectural style specific to the Tatras.

Some of these villas are now open to the public:
- The Museum of Zakopane Style (Willa Koliba, Kościeliska 18): housed in one of the first homes built in this style, the museum presents the work of Stanisław Witkiewicz and the evolution of local architecture. You can check opening hours and admission fees here.
- Willa Oksza (Hr. Władysława Zamoyskiego 25): this villa is now an art gallery dedicated to Polish artists inspired by the Tatras and the Podhale region. Practical information is available on the official website.
Museums to discover local culture
If you want to better understand the history and culture of the Tatras, several museums in Zakopane are worth your time.
- The Tatra Museum (Muzeum Tatrzańskie): located near Krupówki Street, it covers the region's history, the mountain culture of Podhale, local wildlife and flora, and the development of Zakopane as a tourist resort. The museum has several buildings spread across town. You can find out more on the official website.
- Villa Atma (Kasprusie 19): this wooden house now hosts a museum dedicated to composer Karol Szymanowski, who spent long periods in Zakopane. Practical information is available on the museum's website.
The old cemetery of notable figures (Pęksowy Brzyzek)
Right next to the Stary Kościół, the old wooden church mentioned above, stands a small chapel called Kaplica Gąsieniców. It marks the entrance to a very special place: the old cemetery of Zakopane, officially named Cmentarz Zasłużonych na Pęksowym Brzyzku.
Founded in 1850, this cemetery is the resting place of many local figures who played an important role in the history of Zakopane and the Tatras region: artists, writers, mountain guides and athletes.
The site is also remarkable for its many wooden sculptures, often carved in the traditional Podhale style. You will see several representations of the "thoughtful Christ", seated and lost in thought, a figure that appears frequently in the region's religious art.
The overall atmosphere is very peaceful and intimate, in stark contrast with the lively town center nearby.

Hiking and nature in Tatra National Park
Tatra National Park begins right at Zakopane's doorstep and is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Poland. It is home to sharp peaks and glacial lakes, all connected by wonderful hiking trails suitable for a range of levels.
It is a dream playground for walkers: for example, the AllTrails website lists more than 200 hiking routes in the park. Some can be done in just a few hours, others take you higher into the Tatras for a full day out.
Starting from Zakopane, here are some of the best-known hikes I particularly recommend:
| Hike | Level | Round-trip duration | Why go |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morskie Oko | Easy to moderate | 3 h 30 to 4 h | Spectacular glacial lake surrounded by peaks |
| Mount Giewont | Challenging | 5 to 6 h | Iconic summit overlooking Zakopane |
| Dolina Kościeliska | Easy | 2 to 3 h | Beautiful valley with caves and alpine scenery |
Morskie Oko: the emerald lake of the Tatras
Among the most famous natural sights in Tatra National Park, Morskie Oko is probably the most striking. This glacial lake, surrounded by steep peaks, is often said to be one of the most beautiful lakes in Poland.
The hike starts from the parking lot at Palenica Białczańska, one of the main entrances into Tatra National Park, about 25 km (15.5 miles) from Zakopane. You can get there by bus or minibus from Zakopane's bus station. From Palenica Białczańska, a wide forest road of about 8 km (5 miles) gradually leads to the lake.
You can check information about the hike or look up bus timetables from Zakopane (on this route, get off at the terminus).

Climbing Mount Giewont
For more experienced hikers, the ascent of Mount Giewont is one of the classic routes in the Tatras. This peak, reaching 1,894 meters (6,214 ft), towers above Zakopane and attracts many hikers on clear days.
The hike takes about 5 to 6 hours in total. The final part of the ascent is the most dramatic: just before the summit, a very steep section equipped with chains requires a bit of agility and can become slippery in wet weather.
On the top stands a huge steel cross 15 meters (about 49 ft) high, installed in 1901 and now one of the symbols of the Polish Tatras.
Relaxation and fun: thermal baths and unusual activities
After a day of hiking in the Tatras or skiing in winter, Zakopane and its surroundings also offer many ways to unwind. With large thermal complexes, pools with mountain views and fun activities, the region is now a very popular wellness destination in Poland.
Relaxing in the Tatras' thermal baths
The Zakopane region is famous for its thermal waters. Several complexes offer warm pools, saunas and relaxation areas with views of the mountains.
Chochołów thermal baths
The Chochołów thermal baths (Chochołowskie Termy) are among the largest spa complexes in Poland. The water, drawn from more than 3,600 meters (almost 11,800 ft) deep, feeds numerous pools heated to around 36°C (about 97°F).
The site has both adult-oriented relaxation areas (saunas, steam room, salt cave) and more playful zones with a lazy river, waterfalls and slides. Several outdoor pools also let you swim while admiring the mountain scenery.
The baths are about a 20‑minute drive from Zakopane, near the traditional village of Chochołów.
If you want to visit the baths, you can either go there on your own or book one of the tours from Krakow.
- This tour by Thousand Miles Cracow Adventure Company includes a visit to Zakopane and admission to the thermal baths.
- This tour by Cracow Top Tour combines Zakopane, Morskie Oko and the Chochołów thermal baths for a relaxing end to the day;
- This excursion by Discover Cracow is a 100% thermal-bath trip from Krakow, either for a half-day or a full day.

Zakopane Aqua Park
Located close to the town center, Zakopane Aqua Park is an even easier option if you want pools and wellness facilities without leaving the resort.
The complex has several pools, hot tubs, saunas and a fun zone with water slides and play areas for children. Prices are reasonable and it is very popular with families.
Unusual visits: upside-down house and ski jumping
Zakopane is more than just hikes and mountain panoramas. The town also has a few more unusual attractions, from fun family spots to iconic sites tied to the long ski tradition in the Tatras.
The upside-down house, Dom Do Góry Nogami
On Aleja 3 Maja, near the center of Zakopane, you may stumble upon a rather surprising attraction: a house built entirely upside down.
The building literally rests on its roof, while the furniture and rooms are suspended from the ceiling. The visit is short (about half an hour) but fun, especially if you are traveling with children.
You can check opening hours and prices here.

The Wielka Krokiew ski jump
Zakopane is also a major center for ski jumping in Poland. The resort regularly hosts international competitions on the Wielka Krokiew ski jump, the largest in the country.
Located about 2 km (1.2 miles) from the town center (on Bronisława Czecha Street), this impressive jump dominates the valley and can be visited outside competition periods. It regularly hosts World Cup ski jumping events, usually held in January and hugely popular with Polish fans.Several Polish champions are associated with Zakopane, including Kamil Stoch, double Olympic champion and one of the sport's biggest stars.
These attractions are a nice addition to a trip to Zakopane, especially if you are staying several days or visiting with children.
Where to eat and stay: my recommendations
Zakopane is also a great place for food, drawing on the mountain culture of the Podhale region. Between local specialties, traditional restaurants and cozy accommodation, you will have no trouble finding good meals and comfortable places to stay in town.
Local specialties: trying oscypek, mountain cheese
It is impossible to visit Zakopane without tasting one of the region's most iconic specialties: oscypek, a smoked cheese typical of the Tatras (roughly pronounced “oss-tsi-peck” - yes, I am fluent in Polish when it comes to cheese ^^).
Traditionally made from sheep's milk (sometimes mixed with cow's milk), it has a protected designation of origin. You can easily recognize it by its elongated shape and decorative patterns carved into the rind.
At first glance you could almost mistake it for a brioche or a small loaf of bread: the first time I saw it on the stalls in Zakopane, I did not even realize it was the famous cheese everyone had told me about!

Oscypek has a smoky flavor that is somewhat reminiscent of certain Italian cheeses like provolone. It is often served warm with cranberry jam, a sweet-savory combination that is very popular in Poland.

My favorite restaurants in Zakopane
Zakopane has many restaurants where you can sample the mountain cuisine of Podhale. Between local specialties, traditional spots and more modern venues, you will easily find a good place to eat after a day in the Tatras.
To taste local cuisine
If you want to try traditional Polish dishes, I recommend Karcma Zapiecek. The restaurant serves many regional specialties in a warm setting reminiscent of a mountain inn.
When I visited, I had an excellent dish of duck with pear and beet purée. It was hearty, very tasty and surprisingly affordable!


Other good spots for local cuisine include:
- Góralska Tradycja – Krupówki 29
- Gazdowo Kuźnia – Krupówki 1
- Bąkowo Zohylina Niźnio – Józefa Piłsudskiego 6
- Drukarnia Smaku Cristina – plac Niepodległości 7
- Restauracja Zakopiańska – Jagiellońska 18
International cuisine
If you feel like a break from Polish food, you will also find several more international restaurants:
- Cristina – plac Niepodległości 7 (pizzeria)
- Tunel – Krupówki 7 (burgers)
- Bubuja Bistro - Wenantego Piaseckiego 1 (bistro/brasserie)
For coffee or a sweet break
For a sweet break, I recommend Samanta Cukiernia. This very popular pastry shop serves excellent cakes and also has a tearoom. It is the perfect stop for something sweet after a walk along Krupówki Street.
For brunch
Finally, if you are looking for a brunch spot, STRH Bistro Art Café (Krupówki 4a) is an excellent option.
Well, with all these suggestions, we can agree that you will probably need to spend at least one night in Zakopane if you want to try a few restaurants ;)
Where to stay in Zakopane? Hotels and spas
If you feel like spending more time in Zakopane (which I definitely recommend!), you will easily find somewhere to stay. The resort offers a wide range of options: hotels, apartments, chalets and guesthouses.Given prices in Poland, this is also a great place to book a high-end hotel with a spa. Many properties offer very comfortable facilities (pool, sauna, mountain views) at rates far more affordable than in many Alpine resorts.
My favorite
My favorite place, without a doubt, is Hotel Aries & Spa. This 5‑star hotel combines elegant décor, a beautiful wellness area and a perfect location just a short walk from Krupówki Street.
The pool is especially pleasant after a day in the Tatras. The hotel also often has special offers for Christmas or New Year, which can make for a really nice winter escape.

Other good hotels in Zakopane
If you are looking for other good places to stay, you can also check:
- Hotel Sabala, located right on Krupówki Street, Zakopane's main thoroughfare.
- Grand Hotel Stamary, close to the train station and just a few minutes' walk from the town center, with a lovely pool.
A night in a spa hotel in the Tatras is a very pleasant experience, especially in winter when the mountains are covered in snow and you can enjoy warm water in a cozy setting.
Traveler's memo before visiting Zakopane in Poland
Still have a few questions before you head to Zakopane? Here are answers to the most common ones about planning your trip, transport, hiking and the best time to discover the Tatras.

Final tips for visiting Zakopane
Zakopane is a destination that is very easy to include in a trip to Poland, whether for a day trip from Krakow or a longer stay in the Tatras. Between the views from Kasprowy Wierch and Gubałówka, hikes to mountain lakes such as Morskie Oko, thermal baths and the region's distinctive wooden architecture, the resort gives you a great introduction to Polish nature.
A few practical tips can make your stay even smoother. First, keep in mind that you are in a mountain region: the weather can change quickly and some trails become slippery or snowy even outside winter. Remember to check the weather before you go and pack good shoes if you are planning to hike in the Tatras.
Another useful point: even though Zakopane welcomes many foreign visitors, English is not spoken everywhere. With a bit of goodwill, some gestures and a translation app, you will still manage to get your message across without too much trouble.
Finally, take time simply to wander through town: between the carved wooden chalets, local specialties such as oscypek and the mountain views from Równia Krupowa Park, Zakopane has a very pleasant mountain-town atmosphere.
Whether you come for a day or stay several nights, the resort is a great gateway to the Tatras and an ideal nature break during a trip to Poland.
