Search hotels in Karpacz

There are some amazing trips in the area around - Sniezska Mountain, Karkonosze National Park, old mines. However, the town itself is crowded with tourists, full kitsch souvenirs, neon banners, slot machines etc. Parking places near the attractions are scarce - there are big parking lots near the valley station of the cable car, but they are not enough and they are overpriced - municipal parking costs 25 Zl per day but the "private" ones - open areas with a person collecting the fee but not doing anything useful - are 30 Zl or more. They even charge you for entering the national park - if you use the main entry paths, the smaller ones have no ticket desk.

Really nice if you want to hike up the mountain and take some beautiful pictures. The are different options to get to the top, so you don't have to hike if you don't wanna or can't. Views are amazing and Karpacz itself is also a nice mountain town with good restaurants, shops that work on Sunday and other pleasing stuff.

We stayed for too short time and the weather was not nice, so we couldn't really see many places. We just took a ride around and went for lunch in Hotel Astoria, where we were happy with food and service as well. It's not a place with wide roads and can have a lot of tourists. Sometimes hard to get any parking. That's because it's really pretty place and lot's of people is coming there.

To go for hiking is OK. But, our hotel reception doesn't promote well, where to go, which equipment required at this season. I didn't ski this time, because of my health only, some ski spot been opened. I went for hiking, but, it was first time for me in winter, so, i needed to find some shop to rent under shoes rubber metal nails. I had advise, from some young team, rent your metal nails at Decathlon, Jielenia Gora 10pln/day. (I have done at Karpacz 30pln/day, but on the other hand, i had several good input from the shop owner, so i will not have any concern for the cost. If you go to Sniezka, please start from area Wang, they have good parking, then consider 3 hours (if you are not top level),

Karpacz is a lovely town located on the edge of the Karkonosze National Park. It has a lively downtown with plenty of restaurants, cafes and local shops. It's a perfect spot for all travelers who enjoy mountain hiking and having fun in the city. I strongly recommend this place for families and other groups.

Karpacz could learn from some similar places in Germany, Austria , Switzerland and pay more attention to its general looks. Too many ugly commercials, there is no “general town concept” that could add some style to the place. Nature is breathtaking, but the town is average
