Mashtrimet turistike në Zakopane, Poland: si t'i shmangni

Foto nga Karol Zieliński në Pexels.com

Zakopane is a very popular mountain resort and generally safe, with low violent crime, but the crowds at Krupówki and the bus station attract the usual tourist-targeting scams: overpriced unlicensed taxis, exchange booths with poor rates, and restaurant bills with hidden charges. The main practical worries are paying fair taxi rates and watching belongings in busy areas during peak season.
