Check out the spas on the way to Zakopane! Also, the third wave coffee culture in Poland, along with neighboring Czechia and Slovakia, are incredible. We are so spoiled for delicious and inexpensive coffee here! - Jun 2024
We loved visiting some of the local castles. We also went up to Gdansk and Sopot, Warsaw, etc. There are also some fantastic thermal spas on the way to Zakopane. We highly recommend Rabka Zdroj and Ogrodzeniec for kids. - Nov 2016
Krakow is full of amazing bars, cafes, and restaurants; many are located in buildings that are hundreds of years old. Two years did not provide nearly enough time to try them all, but we made a good effort. It's great to people watch on the Rynek while enjoying a piwo or cafe. - Mar 2014

Zakopane for the skiers. Many quaint towns for those who like the sheer beauty of the countryside and history is all around. - Sep 2011
In Krakow, there is a festival or cultural event every week. There are extensive trails for hiking, a lot of biking, even roller blading around the largest public commons in Europe. Zakopane is a mountain town about 2 hours away with hiking, skiing, etc. - Aug 2011
