Itinerary

Pick up (Krakow)

The driver will pick you up from the place in Krakow that you chose when making your reservation. Wait for him in front of the hotel / apartment main entrance at the agreed time (or better a few minutes earlier).

Transfer to Zakopane

Depending on road and weather conditions, the journey takes approximately 2 hours. Sit back and admire the typical Polish landscapes, which will gradually change from the plains to the more mountainous ones until the picturesque Tatra Mountains appear on the horizon.

Stop at "Bacówka"

On your way to Zakopane, you will visit the place where one of the most unique cheeses in the world is made.

Highlanders - local settlers, famous for their manual production of "oscypek". It is a type of smoked cheese made from sheep's milk. The wooden houses where this cheese is produced are called "Bacówki". In such a small wooden hut you will be able to try different types of this cheese with different degrees of smoking, as well as learn how it is made.

Krupówki - the heart of Zakopane

If it is believed that Zakopane is the heart of the Tatra Mountains, then Kropówki is the heart of Zakopane.

You will visit this most popular walking street, which is at the same time a specific city square and its focal point. At any time of the year, Krupówki Street is crowded with tourists who visit shops and go to regional restaurants located along the street. In this street, you can find many traditional highlander items to buy, such as clothes and souvenirs.

You will have free time to get to know Zakopane on your own. Start from Krupówki and take your time to find other points of interest in the city.

Transfer to Kraków

Relax on the ride back to Krakow in the afternoon, where the tour concludes with drop-off back at your original departure point.
