So what's it like?
Beautiful forested mountains provide the backdrop to the truly unique and vibrant town of Zakopane. The region has developed around the traditions of the Polish Highland folk with its own distinct culture and architecture. The town has markets, handicraft stalls, beautiful wooden houses and churches adorning the streets and is bustling with visitors in high season. Early and late season are more peaceful times of the year. The National parkland, with sparkling lakes and magnificent scenery has some great mountain walks. Zakopane is also close to many historical attractions, making this an all round holiday experience.
