Willa Koliba: A Glimpse into Tatra's Architectural Heritage

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the center of Zakopane, head towards Krupówki Street, the main pedestrian thoroughfare. Walk straight along Krupówki until you reach the intersection with Kościeliska Street (it's about a 10-15 minute walk). At the intersection, turn left onto Kościeliska Street. Continue walking for approximately 10 minutes. Willa Koliba will be on your left at Kościeliska 18. Look for the distinct architectural style of the building, which is a fine example of Zakopane's wooden architecture.

• Public Transport

  From the main bus station in Zakopane, take bus number 11 or 15 towards 'Kościeliska' (check the schedule as these may vary). Disembark at the 'Willa Koliba' stop. The museum is a short walk from the bus stop; simply follow the signs or ask locals for directions. It should take about 5 minutes on foot from the bus stop to reach Willa Koliba at Kościeliska 18.

• Taxi or Ride-sharing

  You can also use a local taxi service or ride-sharing apps, which are available in Zakopane. Simply provide the driver with the address 'Kościeliska 18, Zakopane'. The journey from the center of Zakopane should take around 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic. This option is especially convenient if you are traveling with luggage or prefer a more direct route.
