Purchase a ticket for the bus to Zakopane. Buses run frequently, typically every 30-60 minutes. Once on the bus, the journey should take around 30-45 minutes.

Although there is no direct train to Zakopane, you can take a train from Poprad to the nearest town with bus connections to Zakopane. Head to Poprad-Tatry railway station and board a train to Nowy Targ. Once you arrive at Nowy Targ, look for the bus station adjacent to the train station and take a bus to Zakopane.
