How much do holidays in Poland cost? It’s expensive not only at the seaside and in Zakopane
Holidays on the Spanish island are cheaper than in Poland, especially if you manage to find cheap flights. The cost of accommodation by the sea means that although the beaches are crowded, we increasingly choose one-day trips without booking accommodation, we avoid restaurants and save money wherever we can. But it is not only by the sea that they discourage.
In mid-July, there was a lot of talk about the prices of the cable car to Kasprowy Wierch. In the season (i.e. from June 22 to September 30, 2024), a one-way ticket from a ticket machine costs PLN 115. A reduced ticket costs PLN 95, and children under 5 years of age can enter for free. It is easy to calculate that a family with two children will pay PLN 420 just to go up Kasprowy Wierch. A return ticket costs PLN 508. It is cheaper when buying online. – These tickets are really expensive – one of the tourists who was waiting in the queue told WP.pl. As it turns out, prices can be discouraging not only in Zakopane.
A cable car ride to Szyndzielnia, lunch and ice cream. That’s how much he paid for the 4-hour trip
A few days ago, a journalist from the bielsko.info portal went with his family, including a 2-year-old child, to Szyndzielnia and the Bielsko market square. “It’s not fun here in the Beskids either,” he said. After calculating all the costs, including parking, tickets, the queue and lunch at the shelter. He paid PLN 10 to leave his car at the parking lot (there were no more places at the free one), and for public transport tickets – twice PLN 16 for two stops. The cable car ride and entry to the observation tower for 4 people cost PLN 204. Lunch at the shelter? PLN 238. They were also tempted by ice cream. They paid PLN 45 for 6 scoops – that’s PLN 7.50 for one portion. A visit to the café at the market square cost them PLN 141.

One afternoon in the city for 4 people is 670 PLN and that’s not too extravagant. Over half a thousand for a 4-hour trip with friends. A lot? A little? It seems to us that it’s probably a bit too much.
– the journalist summed up. Theoretically, there is no need to travel by public transport, and the car can be parked closer. You can also give up the ride up and down by cable car, but it is a big attraction for visitors.
This is how you make money on tourists
