Things to Do in Zakopane, Poland

Zakopane is a historical town, and it has a history from way before it became a winter resort. It hold rich culture, as well as much to see and do. Here you’ll find a full list of the many things you can explore, but we’ll point out some highlights below.

Snow sports Besides skiing, there’s an impressive variety of snow sports you can enjoy. These include ice skating on the local ski rinks and skidoo (snowmobile riding). Snowtubing is also an option at Stok Narciaski Gigant and Ski School Jerry.

Snowmobiles stand out as a challenge, yet adrenaline-pumping adventure. High-speed riding through wild terrain is an experience you can’t miss. Learn more here.

Explore the town

One of Zakopane’s invaluable qualities is its unique architecture which encapsulates a rich cultural history. You can take multiple days to walk through the streets, enjoy the endemic wooden houses, shop and try the heart-warming local Highlander cuisine. Not to mention the crazy night life.

Co-working

Bansko has built a reputation for being a digital nomad hub, even outside of the winter season. Freelancers and work-from-home professionals travel from all of the world to join the community. With a number of co-working spots, you can keep in touch with your work while on your holiday in a suitable and supportive environment.

Kulig horse-sleigh ride

A remnant of old Highlander tradition is the classic horse sleigh ride, known as Kulig. You ride for an hour or two, to arrive at a set barbecue with unlimited food and beverage refills. This experience aims to replicate a manor-to-manor noble tradition from back in the day, where the goal was one – get drunk and fill your belly.

Local attractions & events There are many interesting local attractions that we can’t possibly put into a single category. This includes:

One of the largest ice mazes in the world;
Tatra Educational Park – exotic animals & preserved nature;
Mini Zoo;
Cable car / funicular train rides;
