Zakopane
Poland's Alpine Getaway
Zakopane has a rustic picture book
beauty complete with postcard wooden architecture, a haven for skiers
and hikers as it is Poland's gateway to the famous Tatra Mountains.
Zakopane is the most popular holiday destination in all of Poland
attracting three million visitors annually. It is often referred to as
Poland's winter capital but it really has no off season. The hiking
trails and world class ski slopes make it a tourism Mecca for all
seasons with numerous other outdoor activities available including
climbing, ice skating, rafting and paragliding to name a few. Many
people just come to Zakpone because of the charm of the town and the
splendid natural scenery. When walking around this magical place you
often feel like you have stepped back in time.
“Overall we had a great visit in Budapest and know it would not have been as enjoyable if not for Jayway. Our apartment was clean, modern and centrally located. Jayway suggested a few places to eat while in town and all turned out to be great.”
The main thoroughfare of Zakopane that cuts through the town is Krupowki street. This is the center of Zakopane tourist life and can be a bit overwhelming at times and commercial with things like tacky shops and street performers but it also offers a number of good restaurant and nightlife options. Once off this street you can enjoy the classic surroundings of elegant wooden villas and mansions as well as handful of museums. Zakopane offers a true Polish dining experience with several themed restaurants serving up hearty dishes that fit right in with the rustic surroundings.
