From Krakow: Zalipie Village Day-Tour

Discover with us, LinkPoland, the picturesque village of Zalipie, a place with over 100 years of tradition of painting flower motifs on houses, dating back to the late 19th century. You will start your adventure with a pickup from Krakow and travel east to this charming village in Lesser Poland. Upon arrival, explore the many hand-painted houses decorated in traditional Polish style. Learn about how the custom of painting houses in this manner began in the 19th century, and see the distinctive style throughout the village, including on fences, wells, chicken coops, and stables. During your visit, you will also stop by the House of the Female Painters ("Dom Malarek"), a center dedicated to preserving this unique tradition, as well as the Felicja Curyłowa Cottage, home to the famous artist who played a key role in popularizing Zalipie's floral painting.
