Katherine – United Kingdom

Great tour, with a lovely cheerful guide and driver. Luxury bus picks were on time. We booked it as a means of getting to the thermal baths, with all the other stops a bonus. We're so pleased we did it this way. First stop was to see a traditional house, with a gift shop, next was a shepherd's hut with vodka and cheese tasting - that was fun and we soon got to meet fellow travellers. We did the little bob sleigh type thing in Zakopane at the top of the funicular, highly recommended for all ages. finally the thermal baths, which didn't disappoint. Note that weather in the mountains is much colder. Take a hat and gloves. we went in May.

Elena – Romania

I had an amazing trip! Everything was well organized, and the guide was excellent — full of good energy and provided very interesting and detailed information throughout the excursion. They even surprised my mother: not only did everyone sing “Happy Birthday” to her, but they also gifted her a bottle of traditional vodka, and we all shared that beautiful moment together. I wholeheartedly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to visit Zakopane and the famous thermal baths!

Full description

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.

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). Don't forget to bring your phone and capture unforgettable moments! See you on board!
