Getting Around in Zakopane

Edit This

Whether you are visiting this town in winter or summer, you will not really need a Zakopane transportation guide, as transport in this town is easily available. Tourists can find different economical ways to reach places within the city.

Taxi

If you want a convenient way to get around the town, this is the best option, as taxis are available at all times. They are also comfortable and faster than other modes of transport. This makes them ideal to get to certain places quickly. This service is not very expensive, but those looking to save on taxi fares will have to call and arrange for one by phone instead of taking one down.

Buses

The state bus service, also known as PKS, is the most practical mode of transport in Zakopane. Tourists will find necessary bus services from the town’s Central Bus Station, which is located about ten minutes from the center. There are also small minibus services that tourist can opt for if they are traveling around the town.

Car

You can also hire a car if you have to do a lot of traveling all over the town. However, if most of your traveling is within the city center, avoid hiring a car, as it can be a little expensive. Hiring a car is fine during the summer season, but it isn’t advisable during the winter, as you’ll need chains for the tires, and most roads get blocked, making it hard to travel.

Other

Sleighs are added to public transport during the winter, and horse carriages are available in the summer. Tourists can opt for these if they aren’t in much of a hurry and would like to take in the beautiful sights of the city. Zakopane is a relatively small town, so tourists can also make their way around on foot.
