★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 4 reviews · 8 hours · from $132

Travel from Krakow by air-conditioned vehicle to Zalipie, Poland’s famous painted village. An English-speaking driver-guide leads the visit, including colorful homes, a painted church, local folk art, and Felicja Curyłowa’s homestead museum. Allow eight hours, bring cash, and plan for no included meal.

“We had a lovely day in Zalipie being driven by Ziggy, the weather was wonderful and all the little painted houses looked lovely. We loved that the village had so many birds, bees and flowers, the painted church and museum were both highlights. Our only small negative was that listing says Museum entry included in our price but we had to pay extra to get in. Highly recommend you take cash with you as none of the gift shops have card machines.”
