Polish Mountain Culture: What Makes Zakopane So Special

by | Oct 28, 2025 | Uncategorized

Beyond its landscapes, Zakopane is a place of living culture. Home to the Polish highlanders (Górale), the town preserves traditions that go back centuries.

You’ll see unique wooden architecture known as the Zakopane Style, hear traditional music played on violins and bagpipes, and meet artisans who craft everything from wool sweaters to wooden sculptures.

The cuisine is another highlight — hearty, smoky, and full of flavor. Try regional cheese, soups, and highlander tea with herbs.

Visiting Zakopane with KrakTours means more than sightseeing — it’s a cultural journey through the spirit of the Tatra Mountains. Come and discover what makes this mountain town so unforgettable.
