TOP 10 Most Rated tourist attractions in Zakopane

What a magical place! The tiny hut is a miracle. We enjoyed an apple pie with whipped cream and the atmosphere.

Lots of people, some are like animals - maybe worse. However, people here are friendly to each other and are waiting, each for their exceptional photo shot. We must value consideration across nations.

In low season, minimum people but would appreciate more warm inside. Still can buy tea, coffee, small beverages and beer in can. Girl who served gave useful advice for the hike.

Really nice place to walk and experience grat views.

It's sort of a starting point to several hikes, one of them is a short walk to the nearby waterfall. Takes about 15 minutes.

Nice place to hike Not a complex one but could be challenging during windy weather conditions (especially on the top) The route from the parking to the waterfall Siklawica then to this place, took us around 2h (if you take some time to make photos and rest). Otherwise it could be 1.5 h. Then you can go back but use another route via the second waterfall called Sarni (the route is a little bit longer but I think it is more beautiful) . Overall it took us 4.5h to return to the parking lot

In winter, do not forget about anti-slip pads on your boots. You can buy it at the entrance to the park for cash, but it’s better to do it in advance :)

Was in winter with snow and wind. Need to be careful to climb there in such conditions. Be prepared. In summer I don't know yet.

Wonderful hike during wintertime or spring - less people definetely, in summer you will get into waiting line, it is very crowded then. Winter with crampoons and earlier in the morning - the best hike, not very demanding, from red trail it is quite steep to hike up yet if you take it slowly and not rush - will be fine❄️

Did this trail in winter. No anti slip pads on my boots, but I did have walking sticks which were pretty useful. On the way there I took the eastern path and on the way back I did the western.

One of the easier destinations to enjoy an easy route up the mountains. Suitable if you travel with kids. In winter I'd advise getting spikes, as (especially around 0 degrees) with snow pathway can get really icy and slippery. Toilets available just after the ticket office. A little cafeteria available at the junction of pathways and some 500m away from the waterfall.

It's an easy tour from Zakopane to the Siklawica rainfall. The whole way is wonderful.

A nice trail to walk by the fresh woods and water-stream. The waterfall is nice but not more than that. Easy level for families and lazy travelers.

We'll worth the hike, it's a good 45 minute trek up till the teahut, then quarter of an hour from there. Make sure you've got more appropriate shoes than I had, the last bit of mainly on boulders which are often wet and possibly snow covered.

It is a very short and easy walk in a mesmerising forest. It's beautiful and worth it. Other people are crying that is long&boring&hard ..bruuh, than simply stay home, eat chips and shut up. It's only a 4.7km out-and-back trail with 225m positive elevation.

Great experience there, it’s a big and nice church

Amazing architecture! Very mountaneer style. Lots of wood and totally different to other Polish churches - humble and cozy.

What a beautiful sanctuary and what a perfect way to honor Our Lady of Fatima. This church is the perfect mix between modern architecture and classic details, with the intricate details made out of wood as it's typical of Polish culture and regional art. The altar is impressive and the stained glass windows give the church a beautiful touch. I loved my visit to this shrine!

This is an incredibly beautiful church. Many tributes to Pope John Paul II.

Really nice place away from it all , uniquely built and rememrance of Saint John Paul II, highly recommend a visit when in Zakopane only a few minutes away by car or autobus

Great place to take kids, especially for the slides indoor, many pool activities and bowling area (must pay extra). Important that when you arrive you ask for towels immediately (must pay extra). Building has it's own parking as well (must pay extra). They have a nice Bistro that you can grab a snack and see you kids playing as well.

I’ve been to sauna only. Overall impression is below average. No drinking water fountains, so you need to either buy cheap plastic 0,5 bottles, or drink water from whatever source you find. The temperature is kind of low. You can easily sit 20+ min in their hottest sauna. And no pool, only showers and a cold water bucket. I’d not do it again. You’ll be better off finding something else

Visited more than 30 aqua parks but never seen such a mess and chaos. You have to pay extra to get a towel too, not enaugh room to place your shoes, so they are laying everywhere...

Great place to enjoy after a long day. Lots of fun for the families with kids. Very clean and conveniently located

SO FUN!!!! go there if you can it's so worth it there's really big pools of warm water, both in the open and under the roof of the building. it's really warm and pleasant. the water is so warm and nice, and there's a free 80° sauna available for free with just your regular pass. at night/ afternoon there's and music...... really nice

Great place for beginners and to learn how to ski, although the snow was not very good because of the weather - it was +3 There are instructors available for 200 zl per hour per child + 80 zl for an adult if you are together with a child - you can find English speaking ones, or Russian/Ukrainian speaking ones, too, just ask about it when paying at the ticket office. You don't need to have a pass if you're with instructor. Be aware that they also don't mix very small children with older ones, so if you have, for example, a 3 year old and a 10 year old, you need 2 instructors, but 13 and 17 can have 1 instructor for both. Makes sense, I think, as they need different approach :) They also work with adults, obviously. Very friendly and supportive! There's a children's zone available (entrance only with instructors), and two hills. One is smaller, although a bit short and steep, and the other is enormous for those who already know how to ski lol The view of Tatras is amazing! One of the best things about this ski resort. You will also see sunset well, so that's a plus in the dark Poland when the sun sets at 3 pm There's a food place at the base of the hill with decent food and restroom, and you can rent everything you need at any of the places nearby. Highly recommend the J&J one across the road - 200 zl for equipment for a family of 4 for 3 hours with great service! Parking available for free with lots of free places, but it may get busy at the very peak times and on the weekends, as always Update: the red slope is not as hard as it looks like in good conditions, apart from one part it's about as steep as the blue slope. However, I agree with other reviews about the conditions on the slope - at 12 pm there were already numerous (!) ice parts, the snow was not even remotely even with crazy amount of snow bumps, and since it's artificial, it wasn't perfect to begin with. So a fairly easy slope became a quite hard one. A lot of people fell on the steepest part. If you want to try yourself, you should definitely know how to parallel ski first, be fresh and full of energy, and only go at the very early morning, 9-11 am. Sadly that seems to be the fate of big enough ski resorts, so just something to be aware of. But all in all it's not crazy hard - it barely made it to the red marking, one grade down (it's 21% average and the red starts at 20%) and it would be a blue. Again, in good conditions! That's what's tricky about it.

Ohh, we just adore this lovely ski slope. You can find here everything you need!

Staff are nice our trainer was Dommnie he was excellent and friendly. but I wished if the place was bigger

This ski resort is quite fun. Unfortunately when we were there they had q couple slopes closed. It is definitely for beginners, so if you're intermediate or advanced you'll get a bit bored here. Still it's a cool place for beginners or for a quick refresher after not having skied or snowboarded in a while. We got great snow! You can check out how covered our car was after 5 hours haha

So far it’s my favourite spot for snowboarding in Zakopane. I can’t really say it’s good enough, since sometimes snow might be really rude and hilled. The price is quite high for Zakopane spots, but that’s more about Zakopane in general. Still not best place for snowboarding and skiing. But it’s fine, I mean you’ll definitely have good time on that spot Be sure that sometimes it’s really crowded!

Must visit place while in Zakopane. The cable car takes to the highest point in the Tatra mountains in 10-15 mins. The view from the top is amazing , as well as the view from the cable car during the journey. Gets crowded though, with long queues for tickets, although if you have booked in advance then no need to wait in the queue. This was definitely my favourite experience in the whole Zakopane trip.

The one of the most high points of Tatra-mountains.1987 m. Amazing view ! It's the border between Slovakia and Poland. You can see the nature of the both of countries from the top. But you can't never guess what will be the weather like. You can climb on with the shining sky, but after 5 minutes it could be snow with strong wind and bad view from over the mountain.

Nice place but ticket office is the worst! I can’t even buy the online tickets as it’s sold out for the day and the queue to buy the physical tickets was one hour, a waste of my time. Too many tourists and domestic visitors visiting in December. Advice is to buy your tickets online in advance. Wish there was parking right at the cable car station itself and not make visitors walk about 1km.

A lot of people but amazing views. We went up by funicular and down by legs. Down it took 5.5 hours instead promised 3 h))) So we were home a very late. We had a real adventure. Please buy in a very advance ticket! And online Tickets are expensive.

Wasn't alot of parking when we went alot of construction going on. Car park near hotel was 50zl cash only. Was then about 10 min walk to area . Toilets were available but charged 2zl to enter make sure you have some cash on you. Wasn't alot to go up you can either hike up and catch a ride down or get a return trip. Height of mountain to top is 2600+ meters. Was -4 at the top. Wear suitable clothing. Also snowy. Restaurant is available at the top you can have food and drink. Small little shop sells few t-shits and hoodys and jumpers hat gloves. The views are spectacular, especially if you catch a clear day. Absolutely breath taking I could of stayed up there for hours. Definitely worth seeing. We drove just short of 2 hours from krakow to see it. I'd say was worth it. Located in zakopane.

Very nice place. The train takes you to the top of the mountain, and there you can see the amazing beauty of the mountains. A lot of entertainment, you can eat a variety of food, as well as shop for souvenirs. There are a lot of people, but the queue goes very quickly.

Absolutley breathtaking!!! Quite expensive in the market. Mini Alpaca zoo id cute. Horse and sleigh rides, snow mobiles, snow ring ride. I loved our time here.

Amazing views once you get up. Although- getting a ticket is a miracle. As you’re not recommended to buy ticket from public member, you have a two options. One you buy online - in my case my transaction was duplicated and I’m still waiting for my funds return (?). Or queue which is very long and ticket machine is so slow and again it end up not working for long time. In both of cases - needs improvement- website stopped working multiple times. I never met such a dissapointment vs. serving huge groups of tourists. With nowadays technology everything could go smoothly. It’s a shame for polish tourism.

It’s an amazing place . There are many outdoor activities that adults and children can do . Also , there are many restaurants and coffees . Many shops are there too. You should prepare yourself to spend not less than 5 hours. Don’t forget to bring a heavy clothes because it’s very cold .

The views from the top of the mountain are lovely. The funicular ride was extremely crowded, as was the area at the top, which is nothing more than a tourist trap with trinket kiosks and bars. Unless you are planning to take a nice long hike in the area, I would not recommend this experience.

Zakopane is a resort town in southern Poland, at the base of the Tatras Mountains. It’s a popular departure point for winter sports and summertime mountain climbing and hiking. Kasprowy Wierch and Gubałówka, reachable by cable car and funicular, are nearby ski destinations offering sweeping mountain views. The town is also known for its turn-of-the-20th-century wooden chalets, symbols of Zakopane-style architecture. - lifted from Wikipedia

Very touristy, especially during the Christmas period. Still an interesting walk for an hour or two though, and cannot go wrong with a warm cup of mulled wine in winter.

Main pedestrian street in Zakopane with many bars, restaurants, and shops. Always busy but always fun to walk around and admire the local architecture

A great demonstration of over tourism. What could/should be a very pretty, quaint, alpine village street is a crowded, noisy tourist trap. We never saw it *not* busy. Pretty disappointed with this “must see” unfortunately.

It was a great experience. It was not busy properly because we had our visit in the daytime.

Beautiful place to go up even if you are not a skier. There is not much to do on the top if the ski jumping hill is closed. But on a snowy day the views are really nice. It takes 15mins to go up and down for roughly 5 euros! Fun

Great place to go for holiday shopping white in Zakopane. A lot of stands with souvenirs. You can also find there a few restaurants.

What a great experience 😁 If you like extreme attractions so you’ll enjoy it. Suitable for kids from 5 years old. There are 3 levels for a ride down, kids up to 14 years old could use only level one (it’s still high enough 😄). Useful info ℹ️- you must pay an entrance fee for this area, and inside you can buy a tickets to the slide. It’s good to know in advance if they open for a public, the morning we came it’s been closed for a training for sky jumping, and no one there could really explain to you if the attraction will be open later. We just came back to see if it’s works, but it was worth it.

Good little spot close to many attractions 50 pln for 10 lift rides. So maybe save this till day two or three if you have never skied before.

Worth to visit, if you are winter sports fan. Visited in March 2023. At the entrance were informed that the cable car is not working and there is no tour guide as advertised in other online sources. Had to walk up ourselves
