About this tour
This evening session follows Krupowki Street into one of the town's highland music taverns. You see the street as the evening crowd builds, then a band setting up inside a wooden tavern, finishing with dancers in traditional highland dress. It is a look at how Zakopane's evenings mix its highland roots with its life as a resort town.
We start on the street with a short sound check, then move inside once the tavern is filling up. I explain the instruments and the costume details as the performance goes on and take questions throughout. A short list of other taverns follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone wanting a livelier, evening side of Zakopane beyond the mountains. It also pairs well with an earlier session on the Zakopane style for a fuller day.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

The camera opens on the main street as the evening crowd builds, and I explain how a scattered highland village grew into Poland's main mountain resort around this one street.

From a table near the front, the camera catches the dancers in traditional dress, and I point out details in the costume that mark out this specific mountain region.

Your questions 11 min
Time to ask anything about Zakopane: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 5 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Zentyca and Antalowka, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Zakopane, showing you Krupowki in the evening and A highland music tavern live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
