With stunning vistas of snow-capped peaks and panoramic scenery, the majestic Tatra Mountains are the highest range in the Carpathians and boast some of the most beautiful landscapes in all of Europe. From our base in the lovely town of Zakopane, situated at the foothills of the mountains, we take a poignant guided tour of Auschwitz. We also explore the fascinating city of Krakow, renowned for its atmospheric squares, historic landmarks and cobbled streets lined with pastel-coloured buildings.
