How the day works
You meet the group at Pawia 18a in Krakow. The bus journey to Zakopane takes about two hours, with an English-speaking guide telling you about the history and culture of the region. The rest of the day is split into two long stops: Zakopane, then the thermal baths.
At the end the group heads back to Krakow. In total, count on about 11 hours.
Zakopane, Gubałówka and Krupówki
In Zakopane you receive your ticket for the Gubałówka funicular. You go up to over 1,100 metres for views of the Tatra Mountains, the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.
If you prefer not to go up, you have about three hours to wander around the town on foot. Krupówki is the best-known pedestrian street, with traditional shops and restaurants serving Polish food.
The Chochołów Thermal Baths
After Zakopane the group moves on to the Chochołów Thermal Baths, the last stop. You have another three hours to enjoy the pools and facilities of what is described as the largest thermal complex in the area.
Food and drinks are not included, so think about how you will organise lunch.
