Krakow & The Tatra Mountains
Nestled at the foot of the spectacular Tatra Mountains, Zakopane is the winter sports capital of Poland. Plentiful snow and challenging runs make for excellent skiing, while the summer months offer walkers mountain lakes, glacial valleys and stunning waterfalls. Enjoy three days in historic Krakow before taking the bus - a journey of around two and a half hours - to Zakopane. A town full of folklore and bearing the legacy of Poland’s artistic set from the 1930s, this independent alpine getaway in the shadow of the spectacular Tatra peaks can be as relaxing or as active as you choose.
Ask a Regent Poland Specialist for more information.

Reviews
Ellie Marr took on board our basic requirements and seemed happy to tailor a holiday to suit – offering suggestions but taking note of our wishes. I found this pleasantly unusual and reassuring.
All aspects of the holiday went smoothly. As planned with transfers to/from the Airport and Hotels.
We would like to go to Russia and would certainly consider using Regent Holidays based on our recent experience in Poland.
