Located at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, Zakopane is one of Poland’s most beloved and distinctive tourist destinations. The region offers a fascinating blend of breathtaking landscapes, rich highland traditions, vibrant local culture, and diverse leisure opportunities throughout the year. It is an ideal destination for nature and hiking enthusiasts, families, couples, and anyone seeking an authentic Polish experience beyond the major cities.

The surroundings of Zakopane abound in nature reserves, hiking and cycling trails, picturesque lakes, and green valleys, alongside charming resort towns, thermal baths, spa centers, and attractions suitable for all ages. In winter, the region becomes a hub for winter sports and skiing; in summer, it turns into a paradise for hikers, landscape lovers, and mountain culture enthusiasts.

We invite you to a special tourism Zoom event, during which we will take a deeper look at Zakopane and the surrounding area. Throughout the meeting, you will receive practical information and inspiration for planning a trip: suggested itineraries, key attractions and lesser-known gems, accommodation and leisure options, family-friendly activities, and tips for creating a personalized travel experience in the region.

The event will be held in English and will be led by representatives of the Zakopane Tourism Organization together with Zakopane Mayor Łukasz Filipowicz, who will present the wide range of travel and leisure opportunities in the region — from the majestic Tatra Mountains, through traditional mountain villages and towns, to thermal baths, spa complexes, and year-round leisure activities.
