Krupówki Street
Ulica Krupówki
Zakopane's pedestrian main street, lined with highlander-style wooden restaurants, souvenir shops and smoked cheese stalls. It is the town's social hub.
Krupówki Street runs about 1 km south from the Old Town and is Zakopane's busiest pedestrian street. Highlander-style wooden restaurants (karczma), shops and bars line both sides, and live highlander music often plays in the evening. Street vendors sell grilled smoked sheep's cheese (oscypek) served with cranberry sauce, a must-try snack. At the northern end, near the Gubałówka funicular station and the market at its foot, the street is at its liveliest. Prices are high and crowds are heavy in peak season, so look for better-value restaurants in the nearby side alleys. Walking here links the Tatra Museum, the Old Wooden Church and the cemetery.
