Beautiful view from the top. This is one of the best place to view other side of the mountain where all other major attractions are available. Tickets can be taken down the hill, before taking the train. Better choose up and down tickets, so that it would be both cheaper and convenient. Trains are available more frequently with high capacity. Hence there is no much waiting time in the queue. On the top there are few good restaurants with reasonable prices. The train takes to the top in less than 5 minutes. There we can spend 30 to 40 mins. Down the hill there are lot of souvenir shops with reasonable cost. If you decided to buy some souvenirs from zakopane, better choose this place. Over all we can spend around one hour. No need of pre-planning required and hence you can cover this any time whenever you have gap in your schedule.

I beautiful place to visit. We were lucky enough to see an amazing cloud formation over the mountains at sunset. I would recommend getting the train up and taking the ski lift down. There’s a really nice bar at the top. Lots of little shops selling souvenirs and plastic sledges. I wish you could hire a cheap plastic sledge for very little Polish złoty use it and then give it back, rather than buying them to use them once. Most of these will be getting thrown away by tourists as they won’t have room in their luggage. Snowmobiles are available for hire at the top though, presumably just in the winter when there is snow.

Great place if you want to take tons of pictures of Tatras. It's quite easy to get to Gubalowka - funicular takes you there from station in Zakopane or you can walk to the top. However, you need to watch out for the weather - if you go there if it's cloudy, you won't get to see Tatras at all. It's possible to spend all day at Gubalowka - there is a sand beach where you can sit and admire Tatras or you can visit some restaurants or check out what souvenir sellers have to offer. Very touristic place - prepare to be crammed in the funicular.

Gubałówka promises an unforgettable experience. The cable car ride reveals mesmerizing Tatra Mountain views. At the peak, a vibrant market showcases local crafts, although the absence of trash bins and expensive parking for cars is noteworthy. The area lacks shade and is prone to street scammers. However, its untapped potential shines through, particularly due to the breathtaking views that make the visit truly rewarding.

If you don't like crowds, you can also hike up to Gubalowka early in the morning. I was the only soul up there right after sunrise (6am-ish). If you're in good shape, you can make it up to the top in 25 minutes by taking the black trail next to the cable car tracks. It took me 15 minutes to get back down. Everything will be closed up there at that time but you will have it to yourself. Beautiful views!

Great views for Zakopane from the top. You can reach there using your car from the center to the top. All the walking distance surrounded with shops and restaurants. You can buy gifts, dine, coffee, enjoy stunning views and more. I will definitely visit this place again in winter for the snow as i visited the place in summer and enjoyed my visit.
