This Is Why You NEED To Visit Zakopane | Poland’s Unexpected Paradise

[@misharivlog4687]

It's so amazing place, that I want to visit,, thank you for sharing this beautiful video.

[@BenRobson123]

You're very welcome. I hope you get to visit one day!

[@KrzysztofK1982]

If you go in the summer you can hike up to places like Giewont, Rysy or Kasprowy Wierch. Giewont is 3 hours on foot uphill, but it’s more like a pilgrimage than a hike cause it’s so many people. An easier hike is Sarnia Skała and if you take Strążyska Valley you can see the Siklawica waterfall on the way up

Thanks for the comment :)

Hi Ben, I was to Zakopane in late summer quite a few years ago. It is absolutely stunning and a lot of beautiful scenery. My Grandparents on my mother's side was from a town named Grywald Poland not too from from Zakopane in Southern Poland. This was a very well done video and enjoyed seeing Zakopane with snow on the ground.

[@BenRobson123]

It wasn't 2019 was it? That's when I was there last! For sure, it certainly is a stunning place. In summer and winter, not sure which I preferred!

Costa cafe, TK-Max, McDonald's I love this Polish culture and tradition. In such a beautiful place like Zakopane, turn to American shopping center, Sad... At least view never let down, beautiful as always.

[@thomas-xj1hs]

The wooden mountain chalets are I think termed 'Dom Goralski"

[@BenRobson123]

Cool, would love to stay in a proper remote one, one day

[@noahtayylor]

would there be in snow ben? thanks great video

[@wswong7014]

Very nice video and informative I would say. I am visiting Zakopane during Christmas and this is my very first time to visit Poland. I need some suggestions and recommendations for accommodation. I don't have to stay in the centre of Krupowki area where all the expensive and luxury hotels around. Would be good 10mins walk to the Krupowki. Is there any public transport to the Morskie Oko , I meaned straight to the Lake area?

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you! You will love it. For accommodation, I usually just check booking.c0m and airbnb. There should be plenty places hopefully! You can only get public transport to the car park I done the walk from (I believe), from there it is a couple of hours walk. You do have the option of paying for a horse-ride up from the base. Hope that helps

[@findbed2352]

Go and visit other cities in southern Poland like Krynica-Zdroj as well :)

[@annacaruana1532]

Planning to visit . Any tips on where to stay please ?

[@BenRobson123]

Not really. I just usually use Airbnb, Booking or Hostelworld and pick somewhere central :)

[@anonkurian]

Hi ben ,how r u mate?Im from Australia, which is the best time to visit zakopane?

[@BenRobson123]

It's hard to say really, it's special in summer and winter. The snow is certainly magic in winter time, but it's also incredible in summer too. The views, the colour and the glacial lakes, although it's probably just busier in summer. Maybe autumn and spring may be the quietest, as winter sports are pretty popular in winter

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

[@Rafal-c5x]

Hi. Some more info about architecture style that you liked: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakopane_Style For example those radiant boards on the roof gables symbolize sun rays. Morskie Oko literally means Sea's Eye or Eye of the Sea (Baltic Sea of course) - very symbolic and romantic name - I would say typical for Polish national character. Hope you will come back to Poland soon - there's lot of things for you to discover around Zakopane and in whole country. Have you been on thermal baths? Pieniny mountains are quite nearby Krakow and Zakopane. It's beautiful there, especially in autumn. 🙂

[@BenRobson123]

Thank you for the information. I'll certainly be back I'm sure! Would love to visit the Tetra region again... but perhaps explore more isolated areas

[@markg1531]

Why unexpected? Poland is very beautiful.

Mate, watch out when walking on the frozen lakes. a) you never REALLY know the thickness of the ice b) the Park guards will be more than happy to fine you

[@BenRobson123]

😨 oh wow really? There were so many people walking on the lake so I just assumed it was fine. I’m guessing perhaps nearer the start of winter, the ice may not be so thick
