What you will see in Zakopane during a Sightseeing tour

Embarking on a sightseeing tour in the lovely town of Zakopane, positioned diligently at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, is to immerse oneself in a realm of scenic beauty and rich culture. This picturesque Polish resort town, often referred to as the "winter capital of Poland," offers an array of sights that capture the heart of both the explorer and the leisure-seeking traveler alike.

Embrace the Charm of Krupówki Street

One of the highlights of your journey will surely be the vibrant Krupówki Street, the bustling main street of Zakopane. As you stroll down this lively thoroughfare, you will be engulfed by the rustic charm of the wooden architecture and the mellow tunes of street musicians echoing traditional highlander folk music. With an array of shops, cafes, and restaurants, Krupówki Street is an excellent introduction to the local culture and cuisine. Visit the quaint market stalls and discover regional crafts such as the famed Oscypek cheese, carved wooden souvenirs, and rich woolen garments.

Marvel at the Majestic Views from Gubałówka Hill

Taking a scenic funicular ride to the summit of Gubałówka Hill is a must for anyone craving breathtaking panoramas of the Tatra range. Once at the top, embrace the crisp mountain air and the sweeping vistas. It's a place where the sheer majesty of nature comes into full focus, a moment meant for the memory books. Don't forget to capture this postcard-perfect backdrop for your keepsake collection!

Step Back in Time at Wooden Churches and Villas

Zakopane is known not just for its landscapes, but for its distinctive architectural style, known as the Zakopane style. Tours of the town's historic wooden churches and villas—like the iconic Villa Koliba, now a museum—are a walk through history that reflects the important role of Zakopane in preserving Polish cultural identity.

Uncover the Sacred at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima

A sightseeing tour would not be complete without a visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima at Krzeptówki Sanctuary. Built in the wake of an attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II as a votive offering, it is a beacon of peace and spirituality, set against a dramatic alpine canvas.
