Zakopane is a beautiful small city at the foot of the Tatra Mountains – the highest mountain range of the Carpathians. Because of the breathtaking landscapes, and the interesting culture and tradition of the highlanders, Zakopane became a popular tourist destination years ago. The town gained the title of “the winter capital of Poland” due to many skiing slopes and the winter sports infrastructure that has been developed. Zakopane is a good place to get away from noisy cities at any time of the year, because the Podhale region has a lot to offer to all kinds of travellers.
