Is Zakopane worth a visit to when in Poland?
 

I will be traveling to Krakow in mid-October and was wondering if Zakopane is worth a visit? What are some activities that can be done there in October?

Hi John, we will be in poland on Monday for several days. I do not know if we will have time to get to Zakopane, but others here have mentioned that is is very nice. Maybe someone else will see this. <BR>Regards, <BR>Art <BR>

Zakopane is a beautiful little ski village. I don't know about skiing that time of year, but I think it is worth the trip either way. I was there last summer. It was a really nice break from the cities. You can take a cable car up to the mountains, along the border of Slovakia, and just enjoy the beautiful views of mountains, lakes, and trees. If you go, don't forget to buy a little lamb (you'll understand.)

Zakopane is a nice day trip from Krakow. It is a pretty town with nice scenery. You can walk & shop and/or ride the cable car up into the Tatras. It is a popular resort village for the Poles.
