Zakopane – the tourist capital of Poland

Zakopane is located at the foot of the Tatras, Poland’s highest mountains, with their steep peaks rising high above the city’s rooftops. The iconic Kasprowy Wierch cable car ascends the main ridge, said to be watched over by the legendary knight sleeping beneath Giewont. It is also where visitors can savour the renowned Highlanders’ oscypek cheese and sip sour żętyca. Just three hours away from the core of Zakopane, in the heart of the High Tatras, lies the famous Morskie Oko. For a good reason, it is considered one of the five most beautiful mountain lakes in the world.
