The 15 Best Zakopane & Tatra Mountains Day Trips from Kraków

49 tours  ·  from $13 a head

Zakopane is two hours south of Kraków and the traffic decides how long the day really is. These 15 compare the cable car runs, the thermal pool stops, the Morskie Oko walk and the ones that squeeze in highland cheese and vodka, with prices and honest timings.

Review of Krakow to Zakopane with Gubalowka funicular, Highlander cheese and vodka, Krupowki Street, and Chochołów thermal baths.

“Very good value for money. Our guide was great, the coach was comfortable. Great views once you've travelled up the funicular. The thermal baths were great. It was busy but 8 of us managed to get in each of the saunas/baths/pools we wanted. Highly recommended.”

“Tour was brilliant, tour guide Joanna was amazing, driver Matthew was lovely - not a lot of room on the bus, at 5’9 I could not fit my legs in comfortably. All of our group (even the smaller people) struggled to get comfortable- was a lovely bus but just not enough room in between seats to get comfortable. Would definitely recommend the tour”

“The tour was absolutely beautiful. We were picked up from our hotel on time, and our driver Lukasz was very kind and provided us with interesting information throughout the drive to Zakopane. What I personally found very important is that Lukasz is a calm and excellent driver. We all felt very comfortable and safe during the entire journey. During the tour in Zakopane, we admired the traditional wooden houses, tried the local cheese (Oscypek), and learned a bit about the region’s history. At the main stop, we had three hours to explore Zakopane on our own. The cable car ride was included in our tour, and we went up to…”
