The picturesquely seated Zakopane is an excellent place to visit any time of the year: history has it that visitors have enjoyed its beauty for over 100 years. Now drawing millions of tourists to its many hotels and restaurants, Zakopane also offers the usual round of museums and galleries which display to excellent effect the unique artistic style of this region. If you hanker for some authentic folk music, don't miss the annual festival, or the many churches that display the local architectural style. After a day of seeing the sights, or killing yourself on a killer hike, relax in a pub, cafe or nightclub. As always, don't forget to read up on some practical information before you come.
