Morning: Sightseeing in Zakopane – the winter capital of Poland

Zakopane is called the winter capital of Poland for its perfect conditions for skiing. It is a town picturesquely situated at the foot of the Tatra Mountains. In summer it attracts visitors with its unique atmosphere and the genuine folk culture of the highlanders. Our guide will show you not only Zakopane itself, but also the whole region of the Tatras.
We visit the famous village of Chocholow with its exceptional complex of old wooden cottages and tiny wooden church built in the local Zakopane style. During the tour you have a chance to admire a spectacular panoramic view of the Tatras from the Gubalowka hill (there is a funicular there that carries you to the top of the hill). Then you have some time for shopping in the local market – another landmark of Zakopane.

Guided tour, duration: 3 h

Dinner with the folk music evening and the highlanders’ band in one of the local inns

After the dinner, we organise a sledging cavalcade in horse-drawn sleighs or carriages (depending on the weather)
