Begin with a morning pickup from your hotel in Krakow. Travel comfortably in a private, air-conditioned vehicle, providing insights into the landscapes and history of the region as you journey south. The drive to Zakopane typically takes around two hours, passing through picturesque villages, forests, and the foothills of the Tatra Mountains, offering stunning views along the way.

Zakopane, often called the "Winter Capital of Poland," is a charming town nestled at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, known for its wooden architecture, mountain culture, and beautiful alpine scenery. Your guide will introduce you to the history and culture of this unique region, including its Goral (highlander) heritage, which is deeply rooted in the local traditions of music, art, and craftsmanship.

One of the highlights of this tour is a visit to a local sculptor’s workshop. Zakopane is famous for its wooden carvings and craftsmanship, particularly in furniture, house decorations, and religious artifacts. At the workshop, meet a skilled local sculptor who creates intricate woodworks using traditional methods passed down through generations. If you wish, you can purchase a unique handcrafted souvenir directly from the artist to take home.

Next, head to the foot of Gubałówka Hill for a ride on the Gubałówka cableway. This funicular railway takes you to the top of Gubałówka Mountain, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of Zakopane, the Tatra Mountains, and the surrounding valleys. There’s time for a leisurely stroll along the ridge, where you can stop at various observation points, visit souvenir stalls, or even enjoy a coffee or snack at one of the traditional mountain cafés. The stunning views from Gubałówka provide a perfect backdrop for memorable photos.

After descending from Gubałówka, the tour continues with a visit to the Pęksowe Brzysko Cemetery, one of Zakopane’s most significant historical sites. This cemetery, established in the mid-19th century, is not only a resting place for some of the most prominent figures in Polish art, culture, and politics but also a place of deep spiritual significance. The cemetery is also home to the oldest church in Zakopane.
After exploring the main sights stroll down Krupówki Street, the main pedestrian thoroughfare, which is lined with shops, restaurants, and market stalls selling traditional Goral handicrafts, woolen goods, and local delicacies. Your guide can recommend a great spot for lunch where you can try local dishes such as oscypek or kwaśnica, giving you a real taste of the region.
