Krakow: Zakopane Tour with Hot Bath Pools and Hotel Pickup
Soak up the views of the Tatra Mountains on this bestselling Zakopane day trip. Experience the hot spring pools and warm water slides of the best Thermal Baths, ride the Mt. Gubałówka funicular, stroll along Krupowki Street, and taste local cheese and vodka in the village of Chocholow Your tour will begin with a pick-up from your hotel. During the journey to Zakopane, we have two amazing stops planned. Chochołów - one of the most beautiful villages in Southern Poland where you'll find the oldest houses inhabited by locals. You'll have the opportunity to learn about the history and to take some wonderful photos. When we arrive at our destination - Zakopane, your guide will explain how to use the funicular car and provide you with all the necessary tickets, saving you time and avoiding the ticket office queues. Each tourist spends their free time in the center of Zakopane in their own way. Some can savor delicious local spices or take leisurely walks and admire mountain views, some can buy souvenirs while others count the minutes to experience the final attraction - the hot thermal pools where they can indulge in this blissful relaxation. On 20.10 - 30.10 the Chochołowskie Thermal Pools will be closed due to scheduled renovation works. During this period, the tour itinerary will remain the same, but we will visit alternative Thermal Pools "Gorący Potok". The thermal pools in Chochołów are one of the largest facilities of this kind in Poland. The health properties of the water have a positive impact on the skin and overall well-being. Pool bars allow for a moment of relaxation with a drink. Families traveling with children will also find something for themselves because every entrance ticket we offer at Chocholow Termal Baths grants access to all zones (except the sauna).

What you'll see & do
- ✓The driver will pick you up from the place in Krakow that you chose when making your reservation. Wait for him in front of the hotel / apartment main entrance at the agreed time (or better a few minutes earlier).
- ✓Depending on road and weather conditions, the journey takes approximately 2 hours. Sit back and admire the typical Polish landscapes, which will gradually change from the plains to the more mountainous ones until the picturesque Tatra Mountains appear on the horizon.
- ✓Experience the magical atmosphere of the small village of Chochołów, where you will find some of the oldest houses in the entire region and get to know how the local people live.
- ✓On your way to Zakopane, you will visit the place where one of the most unique cheeses in the world is made. Highlanders - local settlers, famous for their manual production of "oscypek". It is a type of smoked cheese made from sheep's milk. The wooden houses where this cheese is produced are called "Bacówki". In such a small wooden hut you will be able to try different types of this cheese with different degrees of smoking, as well as learn how it is made.
- ✓If it is believed that Zakopane is the heart of the Tatra Mountains, then Kropówki is the heart of Zakopane. You will visit this most popular walking street, which is at the same time a specific city square and its focal point. At any time of the year, Krupówki Street is crowded with tourists who visit shops and go to regional restaurants located along the street.
