Zakopane & Chochołów Thermal Baths Day Trip from Kraków from a Meeting Point

Meet your driver at a central meeting point in Kraków and set off on a drive of about 2 hours south into Podhale, at the foot of the Tatra Mountains.

Stop in Chochołów, one of the best-preserved highland villages with wooden log houses, and at a traditional shepherd's hut to taste oscypek, the region's smoked sheep's cheese, with a shot of local vodka for adults.

In Zakopane, ride the funicular up Gubałówka Hill for a panorama of the Tatras, then enjoy free time on Krupówki, Zakopane's main street.

In the afternoon, relax for 3 hours at Chochołowskie Termy, with warm indoor and outdoor pools and access to 4 saunas. Then drive back to Kraków. The whole day takes around 11 to 12 hours.
