Top attractions to choose for the perfect day tour

1/7

Zakopane Town & Krupowki Street

This highland resort town is the cultural heart of the Tatra region. Walk along Krupowki Street to explore regional shops, cozy cafés, open-air markets, and street performers. Don’t miss the highlander cheese stalls and wooden souvenir stands.

Gublowka Funicular & hilltop zone

Ride the funicular railway from central Zakopane to Gubalowka Hill. At the top, you’ll find panoramic views of the Tatra Mountains, a lively food and souvenir zone, and even ziplining or gravity scooters in warmer months.

Chocholow Thermal Baths

Poland’s largest thermal spa, Chocholow features over 30 pools with varying temperatures, saltwater zones, hydro-massage jets, swim-up bars, and family-friendly slides. A separate healing zone uses natural sulfur and brine waters sourced from 3,600 meters underground.

Chocholow Thermal Baths

Morskie Oko Lake

This glacial lake lies at the base of Poland’s highest peak, Rysy, and is accessed via a scenic 2-hour walk or horse-drawn cart. It’s surrounded by rugged cliffs and is part of the Tatra National Park, great for hikers and nature lovers.

Snowmobile or quad biking adventures

Some tours include a 1-hour guided ride through the snowy Tatra forests or off-road trails. You’ll receive helmets and gear, and a professional instructor leads the group through safe but exciting terrain with scenic mountain views.

Chocholow Wooden Village

This UNESCO-recognized village is home to traditional log houses built without nails, some over 200 years old. A stop here gives insight into authentic Goral architecture and craftsmanship, including local wood carving and sheepskin goods.

Bania Thermal Baths

Located in Bialka Tatrzanska, Terma Bania features thermal pools with mountain views, saunas, and a large indoor-outdoor waterpark section. The "Relax Zone" is adults-only, while the "Fun Zone" is popular with families and kids.

Best time to take a day trip from Krakow to Zakopane

Peak vs non-peak times: Winter (December to February) is the peak season for snow sports and snowmobile tours. Summer (June to August) is ideal for hiking and views, but it can get crowded. Spring and autumn are quieter and more budget-friendly.
Climate considerations: For crisp air and clear skies, visit from late September to early October. If you’re after snow, January is your safest bet. Summer temperatures range between 18–24°C (64–75°F), perfect for sightseeing and spa days.

Tips for Making the Most of Your Krakow to Zakopane Tour

Book early for thermal spas: Chocholow and Terma Bania can get crowded during holidays. Booking a guided tour at least 2 days in advance ensures timed access and no queueing.
Wear layered clothing: Zakopane’s weather can shift fast. Dress in layers and bring waterproof shoes—especially if you're visiting waterfalls, mountain trails, or hot spring areas.
Don’t skip the local eats: Try grilled oscypek cheese with cranberry jam or mountain-style potato pancakes. These dishes are rooted in Góral heritage and often served fresh by street vendors.
Plan for walking: Though hotel transfers cover long distances, expect some walking—especially if your tour includes Morskie Oko or Krupowki Street. Pack light to make it easier.
Mind the altitude: Gubalowka and other mountain spots are higher than Krakow. While most visitors feel fine, take it slow if you’re sensitive to elevation.
Photography must-haves: Bring a power bank and a wide-angle lens if possible. From mountain views to village charm, Zakopane is extremely photogenic.
