Poland's Mountain Resort Below the Tatras
Zakopane lies in southern Poland at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, the highest range of the Carpathians, close to the Slovak border. It is Poland's best-known mountain resort, busy with skiers in winter and hikers in summer. Its main street, Krupówki, is lined with shops, restaurants and wooden houses, and a funicular climbs Gubałówka hill for wide views of the peaks.
A cable car from Kuźnice runs up Kasprowy Wierch, one of the town's ski areas, and the Tatra National Park begins at the edge of town, with Morskie Oko lake among its best-known sights. Zakopane is also known for its highlander culture and its own style of wooden architecture. With skis and family luggage, a private car takes you door to door.

Fares, waiting and larger groups
We Offer Three Fares
Waiting Charge
If the driver waits for you or you book a multi-stop transfer, for example while you visit one city before continuing to another, a waiting charge is added to your fare.
Minivan Special Offer
Many airport taxis take only three passengers and may not fit large bags in a sedan. We take groups of up to four passengers with their luggage in a larger vehicle at a special price: choose “Minivan” (4 seats) when you book online. The offer does not apply to groups of five or more, who travel by minibus at the standard price.
