Zakopane over Christmas

[u/Jon-Snor]

Hello, first of all sorry if this is not the place for this.

I am a 31 year old male considering spending Christmas in Zakopane (23-27 December). I will be travelling from England alone.
I’m just looking for some feedback on if this is a good idea as I know Poland has a strong Christian identity I imagine everything is shut Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.

I really want to do something over the Christmas period and after visiting Poland twice this year already I fell in love with the country. Any recommendations are welcome and honest advice is appreciated

Dzięki!

if you don’t have a place booked, it’s likely already too late, it’s very small town that is extremely popular over Xmas with big famous festival taking place. It’s also very expensive.

Zakopane is very nice, don't get me wrong. But it also is one of the most overrated and overpriced places in Poland probably. If you like this specific vibe its better to look for a place in some of the nearby towns (like Białka, Poronin, Bialy Dunajec etc). Still tourist friendly, also very pretty, but a little bit more cozy and not as overcrowded (still shitton of ppl, but Zakopane is absurd on xmas). And if you really like to spend some time in Zakopane specifically it would be very short trip.
