The 15 Best Thermal Baths & Hot Pools in Poland

24 tours  ·  from $22 a head

The hot mineral water sits under the Podhale, which is why the pools cluster around Zakopane and Chochołów. These 15 are compared on how long you actually get in the water, what else the day includes, and the transport back to Kraków.

Review of an 11-hour Zakopane tour from Krakow with Gubałówka funicular, Oscypek and spirits tasting, and Chochołowskie thermal baths.

“We had an amazing trip in Zakopane! Our guide, Mati, was excellent — he arrived on time, took us to all the interesting spots, and explained everything clearly along the way. We visited traditional wooden cabins, tasted grilled cheese with local vodka, and enjoyed a beautiful cable-car ride. We ended the day at the thermal baths with warm, relaxing water. There was snow everywhere, which made the whole experience even more magical. It was a wonderful, fun, and enjoyable day from start to finish. Highly recommended!”

Review of Krakow’s Zakopane and thermal baths tour, with Gubalowka cable car, oscypek and vodka tasting, transport, tips, and value advice.

“We had a great time on the Zakopane tour with Casper our tour guide, who was very friendly. He let us know what was what, and provided information on the different places we visited. We were picked up at our hotel at 8am, and it was ~1.5hrs to the first stop, which was a nice little village and church, ideal for a small stop. Then we went traditional cheese tasting afterwards for abit (very nice). After we went to Zakopane and the mountains.
