The
bus
and
train stations
are both a ten-minute walk east of the main street, ul. KrupA?wki. Some private buses to KrakA?w pick up and drop from a stop on ul. Kosciuszki, just west of the stations. The
tourist office
, housed in a wooden chalet a few steps west of the stations at ul. Kosciuszki 17 (daily: July-Aug & Dec-April 8am-8pm; rest of the year 9am-5pm; 018/tel 201 2211), is a helpful source of information on the whole area; ask here about anything concerning staying in Zakopane or seeing the Tatras, including maps and guides; alternatively, check out
. The Tatrzanski Park Narodowy, or Tatra
national park office
, at Chalubinskiego 44 (daily 8am-4pm; tel 018/206 3799,
kozica@tpn.zakopane.pl
), is an essential source of expert information if you're planning a serious mountain trek.
Note that
parking
can be a bit of a problem for motorists these days in the increasingly congested town centre. Your best bets are the couple of parking lots on al. 3 Maja, directly east of ul. KrupA?wki. Alternatively, the hotels and
pensjonaty
mentioned all have parking facilities. Other useful information
