Zakopane is known as the gateway town to Tatra National Park and can be reached from Kraków in roughly two hours, the ideal distance for a day trip. You can organize this yourself if you have your own transport. Most hotels offer transportation and minibuses that provide day trips to Zakopane or you can book through third-party sites such as: https://www.getyourguide.com/zakopane-l1554/

If you're feeling brave there are many hiking trails you can complete through the mountains or take rides to the summits using cable cars to hike your way down!

An essential part of any trip to the town is to ascend to the 1,123m peak of neighboring Mt. Gubałówka. From here, you get stunning views over the town and beyond to the snowy peaks Tatra mountains. You can hike to the summit if you’re feeling strong. Most, however, choose to take the 5-minute funicular railway journey directly up the side of the mountain. There are many shops to do some shopping, a gravity slide and rope adventure park for kids (an adults) and so much yummy food!!
