Zakopane Private Day Trips - Excursion to Tatra Mountains
The charming city of Zakopane, located at the foot of the Tatra mountains, is visited all year long by many Polish and International tourists.
Discover Zakopane, traditional Podhale culture and the scenery of the Tatra Mountains on a private day trip from Krakow.
Your private driver picks you up directly from your hotel or accommodation and takes you south towards the mountains. Before reaching Zakopane, visit Chochołów, a traditional highlander village known for its characteristic wooden houses, and stop to taste oscypek, the region’s traditional smoked sheep cheese.
On arrival in Zakopane, make a short stop at JaszczurĂłwka Chapel, one of the best-known examples of traditional Zakopane-style architecture.
You’ll then have approximately three hours to explore Zakopane itself. Walk along Krupówki, take the funicular to Gubałówka for panoramic views of the Tatra Mountains, and enjoy free time for sightseeing, shopping or lunch.
After your visit, meet your private driver and travel directly back to your accommodation in Krakow.
With private transportation throughout the day, there are no shared buses, additional passenger pickups or fixed group schedules. The suggested departure is at 9:00 AM, but another pickup time can be arranged where availability and logistics allow.
