I was a little less thrilled by the local restaurants, ...

Zakopane is in a beautiful setting at the foot of the Tatry Mountains. Parts of the town are a little tacky, but the main pedestrian street is lively and fun on summer evenings.

What a town
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/11/06
This is by far one of my favorite places in the world. We stayed at a family owned place and the owners were great. Amazing breakfast, friendly and gave us tips on what to do and where to eat. We went to Kasprowy Wierch which was just breathtaking. A gondola cart takes you up to the top of the mountain or you can hike there too. I would also highly ...

excited to go back soon
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/19/05
Zakopane Poland is Beautiful and I loved the 3 weeks that I was there. It was well worth the money I paid for the tickets. You will never find a nicer place or friendlier people any where in this world. Poland has a lot of history to it for the History buffs. Shopping was great for you shoppers, Money exchange allowed you to buy more then here in ...
