    Day by Day Itinerary

    Day 1

    Summary: Start your day exploring the charming streets and stunning views from the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Montmartre. From there, make your way to the elegant La Madeleine church. End your day with a magical evening boat ride on the Seine to see the city’s landmarks lit up at night.

    The Artistic Heights of Montmartre and Eiffel Tower

    A route for the day: Square Louise Michel – Sacré-Cœur – Église de la Madeleine – Eiffel Tower

    Square Louise Michel

    Getting around Paris by public transportation, especially the metro, is the best choice. Your first stop should be Square Louise Michel. It’s a stunning garden square with some of the best views in Paris. The sight of beautiful flowers, blooming trees, and people relaxing on the grass with croissants and coffee is wonderful to observe.

    The magnificent Sacré-Cœur Basilica in the background makes the scene even more spectacular. Here, you’ll find plenty of spots for amazing photos and panoramic views of Paris, making it a beautiful place to start your journey through the city.

    Sacré-Cœur Basilica

    Next up is the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, one of the most iconic landmarks in Paris, seemingly hovering over the cityscape from every angle. It’s another place that offers amazing views of the city.

    The ‘wow’ moment!

    This is where I had my first true “wow” moment. After climbing the stairs and taking photos of the basilica, I turn around and see my first-ever glimpse of the Eiffel Tower—just its tip visible above the buildings, streets, and trees. It was such an exciting sight, knowing I would be visiting the famous icon later.

    Entry to the Basilica and dome

    Entry to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica itself is completely free, though you’ll likely have to wait in a queue. The stunning interior is worth every minute in line.

    While climbing the dome isn’t on this specific itinerary, it’s a worthwhile visit if you have the time and budget. The price is around €8 for adults and €5 for children. The climb involves nearly 300 steps, giving you a closer look at the basilica’s unique architecture before rewarding you with a 360-degree panoramic view of Paris. Read more about the dome at Sacre-Coeur-Montmartre!

    Église de la Madeleine

    The magnificent Église de la Madeleine offers more than just architecture; its steps are a top spot for lunch or a late breakfast in the La Madeleine area. As we approach, we see many locals enjoying coffee and snacks, using the grand building as a stunning backdrop for a daily rest.

    This spot seems to be less of a tourist magnet. The interior was nearly empty, creating a peaceful atmosphere perfect for quiet reflection amidst the beautiful wall decorations. It’s a very photogenic place and well worth a visit for both its lively exterior steps, towering pillars and its serene interior. It’s a sign of God’s tenderness.

    Eiffel Tower

    The Eiffel Tower is the icon of Paris and one of the most famous structures in the world. A visit is an essential part of any trip to the city. While it is incredibly popular with tourists, this also means that access is well-managed, preventing it from feeling overly crowded.

    The tower is an amazing sight from every angle. As you walk around it, you’ll find that each new perspective is beautiful—which is true for so much of Paris, where style and beauty seem to be everywhere.

    The wow moment has come

    Instead of the elevator, consider taking the stairs up the Eiffel Tower. It’s not only a cheaper option but also a more memorable and rewarding one.

    Choosing the stairs allows you to fully immerse yourself in the landmark. It’s a fun challenge that lets you earn the spectacular views from the top. More importantly, climbing the steel lattice gives you a unique and intimate understanding of the tower’s engineering and construction that you simply can’t get from a quick elevator ride.

    So how to do this?

    Our ticket included the stair climb to the second floor via the first, then a ride to the top and back. As we climb, we watch the city shrink below us. Although the ascent is hard—sometimes really hard—it was a truly enjoyable experience.

    Reaching the first and second floors, we were rewarded with incredible views. It was so much fun to look out and spot places we had already been or planned to visit in the coming days. It’s the perfect way to continue our first day in Paris! Buy your online tickets in advance at Tour Eiffel official website!

    From the second floor, we took the elevator to the very top. The view is stunning, and it’s incredible to think about how high you are while taking in the city’s vibe and architecture. However, in my opinion, the view from the second floor is actually better. You can see all the same landmarks as you can from the top, but being closer allows you to appreciate them in much more detail, which I found more beautiful.

    You can also toast your visit with a glass of champagne at the top for about €25. A bit pricey, but is it worth it? I’ll let you be the judge…

    Seine river cruise

    After a long photo session under and around the Eiffel Tower, the perfect way to conclude your first day is with a relaxing evening cruise on the Seine. This is your chance to see firsthand why Paris is called the “City of Light”.

    Finding a cruise on the spot is certainly an option. The banks of the Seine, particularly on the Eiffel Tower side, are lined with numerous boat operators. With so many vessels, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll find them all to be full.

    For a standard one-hour trip without any extras, prices typically range from €15 to €25. It’s wise to be prepared with cash, as some of the smaller vendors may not accept credit cards. Most cruises will have free audio guides available at your seat to point out the landmarks as you pass.

    However, my personal suggestion is to book your river cruise online in advance. Doing so allows you to research different companies and choose the specific cruise you like, ensuring you have all the necessary information and your ticket on hand. This saves you the valuable time and effort you might otherwise spend wandering along the riverbank looking for the best option. Look into Seine River Cruises!


    Day 2

    Summary: Prepare for a full-day adventure at Disneyland, perfect for both kids and adults. Your first visit will be a whirlwind of amazing sights, fun attractions, and lots of walking. Remember to book your tickets in advance to get in faster, and don’t forget a raincoat!

    A dream of Disneyland

    For first-time visitors, a trip to Paris would be incomplete without experiencing Disneyland. It’s a place built on childhood, beautiful stories, and dreams—an essential experience for the young at heart. It’s less about high-octane thrills and more about immersing yourself in a world designed for your inner child and imagination.

    If you only have one day, focus on Disneyland Park. This is where the true essence of Disney lives. The magic for adults is found in wandering the beautiful alleys, charming squares, and detailed themed lands, while the classic rides are sure to delight your inner child.

    Experiencing Disneyland Park

    My first expectation of Disneyland is the iconic dream castle you always see before a Disney movie. So, upon arrival, my first thought is, “Wait, where is it?” Instead of a castle, I’m greeted by a smiling Minnie Mouse made of flowers and a charming pink manor.

    Once inside the gates, the quest for the castle begins. A great first step is to hop on the little train—the Disneyland Railroad—which circles the park and helps you get your bearings. However, I think if you don’t have a specific list of “must-dos,” the best approach is simply to go with the flow and let the magic guide you.

    I had a few must-dos, such as Pirates of the Caribbean (I’m a fan), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, and the cool experience at Phantom Manor. So, the choo-choo train was great for planning it all and understanding the layout. For first-timers, La Cabane des Robinson is also a very interesting way to experience the theme park.

    The Castle

    Once the plan is ready, it’s time to get that castle view already. After jumping off the train, we started searching for it, exploring the cool hats, Mickey ears, and other fun stuff in the cute cafes and little shops lining the main alley along the way.

    Then, right in front of us—what’s that? The castle, with its stunning, beautiful, and dreamy towers, just like from the movies. It’s surrounded by amazing areas, with something different to discover on each side.

    After that, it’s time to experience the must-dos, and for any leftover time until 5 p.m., it’s best to just go with the flow. Around 5 p.m., you have two choices: enjoy the park while others watch the parade, or watch the famous parade at 5:30 p.m.

    If you want to see the parade, you’ll need to find a spot early to get a good view, because there are just so many people. Keep in mind, the parade route runs mostly in front of the Castle and through the main alley!

    The last thing left to do is watch the closing light and fireworks show. It’s a show you absolutely need to see; you’ll only find something like that in your imagination, beyond even what you see in the movies. It is the best show in Disneyland Paris.

    You can find all schedules which depend on the season, and tickets on the official Disneyland Paris website!


    Day 3

    Art and Afterlife

    Summary: Start your day by exploring the Louvre Museum. Afterwards, take a beautiful walk through the Luxembourg Gardens on your way to the Paris Catacombs. For a true Parisian experience, grab a bite of escargots (snails), and finish your day watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle.

    A route for the day: Louvre Museum – Jardin du Luxembourg – Catacombs of Paris – Eiffel Tower

    Louvre Museum

    The Louvre is more than a museum; it’s a sprawling city of art housed in a former royal palace. Its sheer size can be overwhelming, but don’t let that intimidate you. With a smart plan, you can navigate its labyrinthine halls to witness some of humanity’s greatest artistic achievements and most beautiful rooms without getting lost. Just buy your tickets in advance for a convenient time slot at Louvre official website!

    Here’s an itinerary (3-4 hours) to help you conquer it.

    Jardin du Luxembourg

    After exploring the Louvre, the Luxembourg Gardens are a great choice for a stop on your way to the Paris Catacombs, easily reachable by public transport. This lovely park features beautiful gardens, the Musée du Luxembourg, and the famous pond where children sail small model yachts, known as Les Voiliers du Luxembourg.

    You can rent one of these small boats, which often feature different country flags, and navigate it yourself in the water. It’s a charming scene, with locals sitting by the water reading, eating, and watching their kids play.

    A walk through the park

    The Luxembourg Gardens feature many beautiful walking paths that you can explore at your own pace, never knowing what lovely sight is just around the corner.

    As you walk the paths, you’ll discover beautiful sculptures and quiet corners with chairs, perfect for taking a moment to feel the nature in the heart of the city.

    Mysteries of the Catacombs

    The last stop is the Catacombs of Paris, a mystery under the city that many tourists may not know about—especially those who aren’t interested in seeing human bones and skulls in the City of Light.

    Catacombs of Paris

    Seeing rows and walls of bones and skulls beneath Paris is a weird, memorable, and sad experience. It’s worth it once in a lifetime, though. Where else can you walk past walls made of the skulls and bones of so many people? It’s a powerful story of millions of bones, each with its own history—from the perfectly intact to the tragically damaged (cracked and shot skulls)—all gathered in one place. The route is 1.5 km circuit, plan on an hour-long visit, there are 131 steps to go down and 112 steps to climb up, the temperature is approximately 14°C.

    Why they made Catacombs?

    The Paris Catacombs are a vast underground ossuary holding the remains of over six million people. They were created in the late 18th century to solve a public health crisis caused by overflowing city cemeteries. After a wall collapse spilled remains into a local property, authorities began transferring bones from the cemeteries into a network of abandoned limestone quarries beneath the city.

    To visit the Paris Catacombs, it is essential to book your ticket for a specific time slot in advance, as getting in without one is very difficult. For more information and to buy tickets, visit the official website: Les Catacombes de Paris.

    Finally, a very serious reminder: do not take any skulls or bones. This is deeply immoral and is punished harshly by law as a profanation of a grave, with severe fines and potential prison time.

    An Eiffel Tower sparkle

    The last thing for the day is to catch the Eiffel Tower sparkle. Make sure to stop by the tower on your way back to your accommodation. I suggest trying to do this every evening you’re in Paris; the sparkle only lasts for five minutes starting on every new hour after sunset, so it can be easy to miss on a busy day, but it is a truly beautiful and magical sight.


    Day 4

    Summary: Start your last day like a true Parisian at the Marché aux Puces (the famous flea market). Afterwards, enjoy a classic stroll down the Champs-Élysées to see the Arc de Triomphe to Place de La Concorde and Petit Palais. See Notre Dame from the outside, then head to the Trocadéro for the best viewpoint of the Eiffel Tower for a photoshoot. Nearby, you can spot Paris’s own Statue of Liberty before taking the scenic Tram 6 route back to Trocadéro. Time your evening to be back at Champ de Mars to watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle.

    Flea Markets, Famous Avenues & Eiffel Tower Sparkles

    A route for the day: Marché aux Puces – Arc de Triomphe – Petit Palais- Place de La Concorde – Notre Dame – Place du Trocadéro – L’île aux Cygnes – Place du Trocadéro – Champ de Mars

    Marché aux Puces

    This classic market is a great way to experience the city from a different angle in the morning. You’ll find old and new things, accessories for your home and yourself, comic book memorabilia, and even an alien ship among the endless alleys of different traders. After exploring the market, jump on the metro and head to the Arc de Triomphe.

    Marché aux Puces working hours

    When planning your visit to Marché aux Puces, note the following permanent opening days and general hours:

    Keep in mind that the hours for individual traders may differ slightly.

    Champs-Élysées

    Aux Champs-Élysées; Aux Champs-Élysées; Au soleil, sous la pluie; À midi ou à minuit; Il y a tout c’que vous voulez; Aux Champs-Élysées! (Les Champs-Elysées – Song by Joe Dassin ‧ 1969)

    Arc de Triomphe

    As the song already says, you can find anything on Champs-Élysées, first of all Arc De Triomphe, jump off the transportation and head straight down to Arc De Triomphe where the Champs-Élysées end, yes we will be going in the opposide direction. This is one of the many beautiful buildings in Paris and worth a look at. Then continue down the street, grab a macaron at Ladurée best pastry shop on Champs-Élysées!

    Petit Palais

    Next thing you’ll find there is a Palais. Yeah, there is this Grand Palais (a tourist trap, I think), so we go to the Petit Palais. It’s a hidden gem waiting to not be discovered—yeah, you heard right. I hope it doesn’t get discovered by the big crowds, because it’s a cozy haven of peace and beauty to grab a coffee at and eat your best macarons you bought previously on Champs-Élysées!

    The entry is free, and it features a cozy cafe and a beautiful garden surrounded by the building. It’s a beautiful escape from the crowds, with stunning trees and flowers that are in full bloom between March and April. In the rooms, you’ll find a free art gallery and beautifully made rooms. Such a paradise.

    Place de La Concorde

    The largest square in Paris, but first it was known as one of the places of execution during the French Revolution.

    This is the beginning of Champs-Élysées where we end a walk on Champs-Élysées, before heading to Notre-Dame Cathedral of Paris. In modern Paris, a temporary stand is built in the square each year from which dignitaries review the military parade on Bastille Day.

    Also standing here is an ancient Egyptian obelisk, brought from Luxor, Egypt. The so-called Luxor Obelisk is made of red granite, measures 22.5 metres in height and weighs an estimated 227 tonnes. This obelisk and its pair, that still stands in front of the first pylon of the temple in Luxor, were the largest obelisks to have been erected by Ramses II in Egypt. Read more about it at Archaeology Travel!

    Notre Dame Cathedral of Paris

    The beautiful and important exterior of Notre Dame was still under renovation in March 2025, and walking around it, you could see how the fire had damaged the stunning architecture. Due to the long queues and our busy schedule, we decided not to go inside. Just taking a look from the outside was worth it—simply walking by and seeing it in real life.

    The restored interior now features gleaming white stone, new bronze furnishings, a modern altar, and the original stained-glass windows, aiming to emulate its historic 13th-century look. So, if you are interested and have a ticket booked in advance, it is definitely worth going in.

    After Notre Dame, we’re making our way to L’île aux Cygnes, with a quick stop at Place du Trocadéro since it’s on the way! And here is a beautiful photo of a Parisian building near the Saint Paul metro station.

    Place du Trocadéro

    Place du Trocadéro is a fantastic viewpoint for the Eiffel Tower and an amazing place to take beautiful photos while grabbing a crêpe.

    If you have extra time, you can also find a couple of museums to explore in the area, such as the Palais de Chaillot, Musée de la Marine, Aquarium de Paris, Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine, and the Musée de l’Homme.

    L’île aux Cygnes – Paris Statue de la Liberté

    Did you know that there is a small copy of New York’s Statue Of Liberty in Paris? Paris is home to several replicas of this iconic symbol of freedom, the most notable of which is located on the Île aux Cygnes (Swan Island).

    This quarter-scale replica, standing at approximately 11.5 meters (37 feet 9 inches) tall, is a significant landmark in itself, embodying the enduring friendship between France and the United States.

    These various Statues of Liberty scattered throughout Paris serve as a constant reminder of the monument’s French origins and the transatlantic bonds it represents. The original statue, a gift from the people of France to the United States in 1886, was designed by Bartholdi with its metal framework engineered by Gustave Eiffel, the creator of the Eiffel Tower.

    Tram route 6 – Place du Trocadéro, Jardins du Trocadéro
    Tramway Line 6 (T6) – Châtillon – Montrouge and Viroflay – Rive Droite

    This is one of the most scenic routes in Paris. You get a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower on the right side when traveling in the direction of Nation, and on the left side when heading towards Charles de Gaulle-Étoile.

    For this itinerary, we’re going from Bir-Hakeim to Trocadéro, so the view will be on your right. To get to the Bir-Hakeim station from the Statue of Liberty, you’ll cross the entire L’île aux Cygnes to the Pont de Bir-Hakeim bridge, which offers its own beautiful views.

    Arriving at Trocadéro, you can then catch some lovely dawn views of the Eiffel Tower as you walk down through the Jardins du Trocadéro towards the Champ de Mars.

    Champ de Mars: A sparkling end to your day

    The best way to conclude this Parisian getaway is with a little sparkle. The Champ de Mars is a fantastic place to get a close-up view of this event. Although it’s a popular spot and many people will be there, the park is large enough that you can still find a great spot to enjoy the beautiful spectacle.

    Eiffel Tower Sparkle Schedule

    The Eiffel Tower sparkles for five minutes at the beginning of every hour after sunset.

    • Schedule: On the hour, every hour, from sunset until 11:00 PM (23:00).
    • How it works: The tower’s golden illumination stays on, and an additional 20,000 flashing bulbs create the sparkling effect.
    • Tip: Arrive a few minutes before the hour to get your spot and have your camera ready!

    Where to stay?

    A key to navigating Paris is understanding its arrondissements (districts). We stayed on the edge of the 18th, which proved to be an excellent and affordable base for exploring. The nearby Garibaldi metro station made getting around the city easy.
    For group of 6:The Photographer’s House” at Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine was a great option for us.

    The best arrondissements to stay in Paris usually depend on the vibe you want:
    18th (Montmartre): Romantic, artsy, bohemian, though a bit touristy
    1st & 4th (Louvre, Le Marais): Central, historic, perfect for first-timers.
    5th & 6th (Latin Quarter, Saint-Germain): Charming, lively, full of cafés, bookstores, and student energy.
    7th: Home to the Eiffel Tower, elegant and quiet, but pricier.
    9th & 10th: Trendy, more affordable, with great food and nightlife.

    How to Use the Paris Métro & Bus System?

    Paris public transportation is very convenient, and you can get anywhere with it. While the Metro and RER stations can be confusing at first with their many stairs and platforms, it gets easier. I highly recommend using the Île-de-France Mobilités (Android app), (iOS app) or official website to navigate; it shows you every transport option and helps you plan your journey.

    Tickets information, Buying a Navigo Pass vs. Single Tickets

    Regarding tickets, you can use your mobile phone with NFC. Once you scan your ticket and go through the gates, look for the direction signs on the walls or screens. To get where you need to go, simply follow the directions for your line and destination. However, we found that the gates sometimes failed to open when scanning a mobile ticket. While we saw some people pushing through the gates in these situations, we did that too, but I would suggest getting a physical ticket if you have the time, to avoid any potential issues.

    Ticket types

    Paris offers various public transport ticket types. You can find all combos on the Île-de-France Mobilités website, but here are some key options:

    Important: The Navigo Week Pass is strictly valid from Monday to Sunday. For example, if your trip is from Friday to Tuesday, you would need to buy one week pass for Friday-Sunday and then two day passes (or another week pass) for Monday-Tuesday. If you want to buy ticket at door it costs 2.50 everywhere!

    If you want to use your mobile phone as your transport ticket, here’s what you need to know:
    Tips for Navigating the City on Foot

    Paris is an amazingly beautiful but huge city, and it’s truly worth exploring on foot. The sidewalks are great, and because there are so many beautiful buildings, you’ll see more while walking. A great strategy is to take public transport to a specific area and then explore on foot as you make your way from one sight to another. Another wonderful thing about Paris is that you’ll discover many beautiful green spaces and parks during your walks, and each one is worth strolling through.

    Security checks!

    You’ll quickly notice that Paris has security checkpoints almost everywhere—at museums, galleries, and any major tourist site. At first, it might seem like a lot, but honestly, it’s not a bad thing. It actually made me feel very safe. They’re doing a really good job, and I’ve never seen so much security in other big European cities, not even in places like Frankfurt which didn’t fell safe at all.

    So, a good tip when exploring Paris is to pack light. Just take the essentials in a small bag so you can pass through the checkpoints quickly. If you happen to forget something, it’s easy to hop on the metro or bus and go back to your accommodation.

    Important: Beware of pickpockets. Paris is full of them, especially on public transportation, at metro stops, on station escalators, and in any crowded place.

    Always keep your belongings in sight. Wear backpacks and handbags in front of you and keep them secured. Never look away from your things, even for a second. These thieves are incredibly skilled at what they do; you might not even notice anything is missing until you later find your wallet empty inside your closed backpack!!!

    Conclusion

    A trip to Paris is a must, and you’ll probably want to go back again and again. You should be aware of the reality of the city—sometimes the streets can be smelly, and you will see a lot of immigrants and homeless people sleeping in tents under bridges, on streets in slepping bags and sometimes in the metro stations. It is what it is, but don’t let that deter you. Paris remains a wonderful city, full of beauty waiting to be discovered.

    Also, don’t try to see everything at once. The city looks small on a map, but in real life, it’s huge, and trying to explore every small corner, park, gallery, building and museum on a short trip would be exhausting. Each arrondissement provides a unique experience, so it’s best to focus on a few at a time.


    When on vacation, always remember: Travel and exploration are all about the joy of discovery. So, always leave room for the unexpected on your journeys and remember – Leave No Trace Principles. You never know what delightful surprises await you!

    2 Days in Zakopane Itinerary

    This is an itinerary for 2 full days considering you have arrived the previous day, or early in the morning
    Day 1: Hike to the Trzy Korony summit
    Day 2: Cable-car and Kasprowy Wierch Hike

    Highlights

    Day 1

    Summary: The first day in Zakopane starts with a warm-up hike for Kasprowy Wierch, Trzy Korony which is located a bit further out of town, which is 1 hour and 15 minutes ride by car.

    Fun fact: If you’re in Zakopane on a Sunday morning, you might witness a fascinating local tradition. Between 10 AM and 11 AM, it’s possible to see priests consecrating cars along the roads, blessing them for the adventures ahead.

    Hiking in Trzy korony

    The first day is dedicated to one of Poland’s most iconic hikes: Trzy Korony (the “Three Crowns”) in the beautiful Pieniny National Park. This 6-7 km trail is a fantastic moderate challenge, with a steady elevation gain that will get your heart pumping, especially on the steeper sections. The trail starts at Schronisko PTTK Trzy Korony.

    For most of the journey, the forest trails are wide and manageable, making them great even for those who are a bit wary of heights.

    The platform

    To reach the summit, you climb a series of steep metal stairs onto a small, enclosed viewing platform. It can feel a bit crowded, but the experience is unforgettable.

    The real adventure begins at the very peak. After paying the small park fee (around 10 PLN) for platform access, you are rewarded with an absolutely breathtaking panoramic view.

    The views

    The landscape unfolds dramatically, revealing the winding Dunajec River below and, most magically, a series of rolling hills with sharp peaks that looks like perfect green pyramids. It’s an aesthetic and stunning view that is worth every single step.

    A map of the hike! Fun fact: It looks like a heart…
    Hike in Brief:
    • Distance: Approx. 6-7 km
    • Difficulty: Moderate
    • Heads-Up: The final summit is on a steep, potentially crowded metal platform with a small entrance fee.
    • Reward: One of the best panoramic views in southern Poland.

    Day 2

    Summary: On your second day in Zakopane, you’ll experience a scenic cable car ride to the summit, followed by a stunning hike down through a valley filled with numerous large and small lakes.

    Kasprowy wierch – Ground station and parking

    To begin the hike, you’ll need to park your car in town and walk to the Kasprowy Wierch ground station. A good, affordable option is the parking lot on Bogówka Street. A full day of parking costs 25-30 PLN, depending on your arrival time. Expect to pay 30 PLN in the morning, with the price dropping to 25 PLN later in the day. A walk to the ground station is 2.2 km one way.

    It’s important to arrive exactly at your booked time slot, as you may not be allowed to board if you are too early or late. Once there, simply proceed to the ground station, scan your online ticket, and get on the cable car.

    Kasprowy Wierch peak and views

    At an elevation of 1,987 meters, the peak of Kasprowy Wierch offers an educational and engaging experience for both adults and children. The summit provides stunning, panoramic views of countless mountain trails connecting one peak to another.

    Kasprowy Wierch peak experiences

    Once at the top, you can take a small, free chair-lift ride. This includes a complimentary audio guide that plays during the round trip, sharing information about the valley below, the beautiful surrounding lakes, the mountain climate, and the local fauna and flora, while enjoying the breathtaking views.

    Please note that you cannot get off the chair-lift at the bottom; you must remain seated for the entire two-way journey.

    This works perfectly with your itinerary, as you only have a one-way ticket up Kasprowy Wierch.

    Of course, if you aren’t sure about hiking, you can buy a round-trip ticket. This is cheaper than buying two separate one-way tickets if you decide to go back down with cable-car. However, be aware that a round-trip ticket only gives you 1 hour and 40 minutes to explore the top of Kasprowy Wierch before you must take the cable car back down.

    Kasprowy Wierch hiking trail

    The hike starts at the top of Kasprowy Wierch, near the chair-lift. If you want to get views from higher ground before you begin, there are a couple of short detour hikes toward the nearby peaks of Świnica and Dolina Pięciu Stawów Polskich (in the direction of Rysy).

    While there are longer ridge hikes available toward Krzesanica, this itinerary follows the trail down through Dolina Zielona Gąsienicowa to see its beautiful lakes and mountain views. The path has some steep sections after the valley, but the descent is not overly difficult.

    The trail itself is approximately 11 km long. Expect the total distance to be around 13 km, including the final walk back to your car.

    Dolina Zielona Gąsienicowa

    The hike winds through the beautiful Dolina Zielona Gąsienicowa, leading you past a series of large and small lakes, each with its own unique charm. Along the trail, you will encounter a picturesque spring with a small waterfall.

    Key highlights include the charming Zielony Staw Gąsienicowy (Green Caterpillar Pond) and the large, dramatic Czarny Staw Gąsienicowy (Black Caterpillar Pond), as well as several smaller lakes and ponds on your way through the valley.

    Dolina Gąsienicowa to Polana Jaworzynka

    The final section of the hike begins at Dolina Gąsienicowa. This part is the steepest of the entire trail, featuring a series of challenging paths with large rocks and some exposed slopes. After navigating this section, the trail transitions to the beautiful, peaceful, and flat path of Polana Jaworzynka, which leads you to the end.

    A map of the hike!
    Hike in brief:
    • Distance: Approximately 13 km total.
    • Difficulty: Moderate to Challenging. While primarily a descent, the trail features steep and rocky sections, with the most technical part occurring towards the end of the hike.
    • Key Highlights: Panoramic views from the summit, the scenic valley of Dolina Zielona Gąsienicowa, and its stunning alpine lakes, including Czarny Staw and Zielony Staw Gąsienicowy.
    • Heads-Up: This is a one-way hike (descent). The free chair-lift at the summit is a two-way scenic ride only and cannot be used for the descent into the valley.

    Day 1

    Summary: The first day in Meteora, starting with exploring some of the most beautiful and popular monasteries, then capturing the beauty of Meteora landscape. You’ll find parking spots along the roadside.

    Holy Monastery of Rousanos

    The Monastery of Roussanou, or Agia Varvara in Greek, is a stunning historical site in Meteora, Greece, dating back to the 14th century. Roussanou was believed to have been the name of the first hermit-monk who settled on the rock during that time. This unique monastery is essentially one single structure that occupies the entire cliff surface, giving the impression that it was intricately carved from the rock itself. Read more about it at Visit Meteora.

    On the route toward the Monasteries of Varlaam and Great Meteoron, your first stop is the Holy Monastery of Rousanos. It offers one of the most spectacular views in Meteora—a classic image of a monastery perched on a rock. From certain angles, it seems impossible to access, as if it’s floating with no way to explore it up close. However, the monastery is indeed open to visitors.

    Holy Monastery of Rousanos working times

    Summer Schedule (April 1st to October 31st) – 09:00 – 15:30 (3:30 PM)
    Closed on Wednesdays!

    Winter Schedule (November 1st to March 31st) – 09:30 – 14:00 (2:00 PM)
    Closed on Wednesdays!

    Holy Monastery of the Great Meteoron

    Holy Monastery of The Great Meteoron is the bigest and oldest of all monasteries in Meteora. It was called the monastery, which remains “suspended” (meteoro in Greek), because of the cliff formation of a gigantic rock on top of which it was built. Read more about it at Visit Meteora.

    This monastery is the one you will walk for longer, the territory is big and you will find some really cool things about history, life and the old times there, such as the ‘elevator’, how they did that, beautiful rooms and hallways, and a lot of places to rest after you climb the beautiful stairs to the monastery.

    The Holy Monastery of Great Meteoron is also a very good spot to take a look at Monastery of Varlaam from a different perspective.

    Holy Monastery of the Great Meteoron working times

    Summer Schedule (April 1st to October 31st) – 09:30 – 15:00 (3:00 PM)

    Monastery of Varlaam

    Monastery of Varlaam is the second largest and one of the most captivating monasteries in Meteora and it’s the last stop of monasteries on this Meteora journey, because it the last to close. It offers some really stunning views, beautiful architecture and at some places it’s a good viewpoint of The Monastery Of The Great Meteoron.

    Monastery of Varlaam features a beautiful museum that showcases a wealth of valuable relics, exquisite art, and ancient manuscripts, offering a glimpse into its rich history. Read more about it at Visit Meteora.

    Visiting this monastery is highly recommended during a trip to Meteora.

    Viewpoint Meteora

    This viewpoint can get crowded because tour buses stop here for about 15 minutes. Once a bus departs, you’ll practically have the place to yourself. You might even be the only one there. There is this rock where you can jump on and take amazing photos with no one in sight.

    This viewpoint brings you closer to the rock formations, and while it’s at a lower elevation, this proximity makes the experience more special. There is a higher viewpoint further up the road, but it’s always crowded. From there, you are just looking down on the landscape rather than feeling immersed in it.

    Ιερά Μονή Υπαπαντής του Χριστού

    This is a monastery built on a clifface, there is no much information about it but if you drive or walk by Άγαλμα Παπαθύμιου Βλαχάβα, you may catch some really interesting sights.

    Sunset views

    If you’re up for it, you can catch the sunset at the Main Observation Deck of Meteora. While this viewpoint gets extremely crowded during the day, there tend to be fewer people in the evening. However, as it is the most popular viewpoint in Meteora, you certainly won’t be the only one there.

    Day 2

    Summary: Today’s plan is to visit the Monastery of the Holy Trinity, explore the town of Theopetra, and see a cave that isn’t typical for the Meteora region. You’ll find parking spots along the roadside.

    Monastery of the Holy Trinity

    The Monastery of the Holy Trinity is a truly amazing place to visit. Reaching it is a bit of a challenge, as you have to climb about 145 steps carved directly into the rock, but the effort is completely worth it. The monastery is often uncrowded and features stunning viewpoints, beautiful gardens, and a lovely courtyard.

    Located just a 10-minute walk from Agios Stefanos monastery, the Monastery of Holy Trinity is situated atop a stunning pillar-like rock that rises approximately 300 meters above Kalabaka. For those interested in exploring further, the old trail once used by the monks can be found at the base of the cliff, providing a fascinating path down to the town of Kalabaka. You can use this path to reach the monastery on foot from the town or the other way around. Read more about it at Visit Meteora.

    The Prehistoric Cave of Theopetra is the most immortant archaeological site in town. Long before Meteora’s cliffs became sacred ground for monks, they sheltered something even more ancient: Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. The Theopetra Cave, just 5 km from Kalabaka, is one of the oldest known archaeological sites in Europe, offering a direct window into the dawn of civilization.

    Highlights


    Day 1

    Summary: On the first day, take the opportunity to explore the stunning Byzantine Fortress of Gardiki as you make your way to the breathtaking Cedar Forest at Issos Beach. Along the journey, don’t miss the chance to observe the diverse birdlife at Korission Lagoon, while also wandering through the beautiful dunes.

    Byzantine Fortress of Gardiki

    Gardiki’s Byzantine fortress is a medieval castle. It sits on Corfu’s southwest coast in Greece. The Despotate of Epirus built this important historical landmark on the island in the 13th century to defend against invasions.

    This impressive fortress boasts a truly octagonal shape. Its incredibly strong stone walls and eight mighty towers clearly show off amazing Byzantine military architecture. Gardiki, though partly ruined, fascinates history enthusiasts and travellers alike, offering many glimpses into Corfu’s wealthy past as well as stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

    Cedar Forest and Issos Beach

    The cedar forest surrounding the expansive dunes is a wonderful place for hiking, offering views you won’t find anywhere else. You can also ride horseback through the dunes and cedar forest or try kitesurfing at the amazing, windy Issos Beach.

    Issos Beach is a vast, windy beach where you can escape the crowds and enjoy beautiful views all around, surrounded by large dunes.


    Day 2

    Summary: Enjoy the breathtaking views and charm of Canal d’Amour before making your way to Porto Timoni beach. This location offers great hiking opportunities with stunning scenery and beautiful, secluded beaches. The trail leading to Porto Timoni is challenging due to its steep and rocky terrain, so be sure to come prepared.

    Canal d’Amour

    Canal d’Amour is famous for its unique sandstone formations, crystal-clear waters, and romantic legend that couples who swim through its channel will stay together forever.

    The area is crowded, but it features stunning views and charming trails to explore.

    Porto Timoni Beach

    One of the most stunning beaches to admire from above and a truly unique experience once you’re down at the beach. While access isn’t the easiest, the effort is absolutely worth it. The hiking trail from the top viewpoint to the shores of Porto Timoni Beach involves an elevation drop of roughly 150–200 meters (500–650 feet), depending on the path you take.

    The trail can be steep and rocky in sections, so proper footwear is highly recommended. The descent typically takes about 15–20 minutes, and the breathtaking views of the twin beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters make every step worthwhile!


    Day 3

    Summary: Explore the secluded beaches, hidden caves, and blue sea around Palaiokastritsa with a motorboat, as you can’t access them any other way by foot or by car.

    Palaiokastritsa

    Palaiokastritsa is a popular destination for beach getaways, but I wouldn’t say Alipa Beach is the best one. The truly better beaches are accessible only by boat. There are many boat rental options in Palaiokastritsa, and renting a boat will provide you with the best experience. The beaches you can reach by boat are far superior to those in Palaiokastritsa.

    Self-guided motorboat experience

    While enjoying a motorboat You can stop by:

    The Blue Eye Cave: Sea cave at the foot of sandstone cliffs, accessible by boat for snorkelling in the aquamarine water.

    Limni Beach: One of the best beaches accessible by motorboat has two sides; one side is shallower than the other. It is a small twin to Porto Timoni Beach and is worth stopping by to enjoy some peace.

    Kolias Beach, also known as Paradise Beach by the locals: One of the most beautiful and serene beaches in Corfu, this hidden gem can only be reached by boat, adding to its untouched charm. With its crystal-clear turquoise waters and a shoreline covered in smooth pebbles, it’s a tranquil paradise perfect for those seeking peace and quiet away from the crowds.

    Lush green cliffs surround this beach, making it a secluded and picturesque spot perfect for at least some swimming, snorkelling, or simply relaxing. Boat rentals or tours from several nearby villages offer the best access. Here, many important items must be brought, for there are absolutely no facilities—only pristine, untouched nature.

    Vrachonisida Kolyviri: This is an undrawn border for rented motorboats. You can’t go any further from there; it’s forbidden. However, you can go around it and make your way back.

    Stelari Beach: A beautiful pebble beach to stop by on your way back; enjoy this almost empty spot just for yourself and relax.

    Sunset at Cape Drastis

    Cape Drastis, at Corfu’s northern tip near Peroulades, is a stunning spot with white limestone cliffs, turquoise waters, and hidden coves. In summer, it’s one of the best places to watch the sunset, as the cliffs and sea glow with warm orange and pink hues. If you arrive very early it’s a great place for some wild exploration before the sunset, the views are absolutely worth it!


    Day 4

    Summary: Enjoy a day exploring Corfu Town—wander through its charming streets and take in breathtaking views from the town’s highest points.

    Corfu Town

    The charming streets of Corfu are a must-see if you’re visiting the island. Stroll through its narrow, picturesque streets and soak in the unique atmosphere. A visit to the Old Fortress of Corfu is a must, offering stunning panoramic views from the top and a fascinating look into the island’s rich history. The Corfu Central Market is a lively spot where you can find fresh vegetables, fruits, and other local goods, perfect for experiencing the island’s flavours. Don’t miss Serano, where You’ll discover many different traditional sweets that are definitely worth trying.

    Day 5

    Summary: Relax on the beach and explore Corfu’s wildest nature park, uncovering stunning secluded beaches and breathtaking views.

    Avlaki Beach

    Avlaki Beach, nestled in the unspoiled wilderness of Corfu, is a serene haven for nature lovers. This beautiful, pebbly beach is surrounded by lush greenery, offering a tranquil escape from the crowds. With crystal-clear waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkelling, it’s an ideal spot to unwind. Conveniently, there’s parking available right next to the beach, making it easy to access. Whether you want to bask in the sun, take a refreshing dip, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, Avlaki Beach invites you to relax and soak up its natural beauty.

    Erimitis

    A wild, jungle-like environment with trails starting at Avlaki Beach invites you to explore one of the most untamed areas of Corfu. This lush forest, crisscrossed with charming paths, feels like a true escape into nature. The main trail from Avlaki Beach leads to the stunning and secluded Cape Psaromita, a destination reserved for the most adventurous travellers.

    Here, you won’t encounter crowds of tourists—mostly locals know about this hidden gem. Along the way, you’ll discover breathtaking views of the sea and Albania, as well as hidden, small beaches and trails that evoke the magic of wandering through a jungle.

    Day 6

    Aqualand Corfu

    Aqualand Corfu features one of the best wave pools I have ever experienced; the expansive pool is filled with inflatables that you can use while the waves are coming.

    Aqualand Corfu is one of the largest and most exciting water parks in Greece, offering fun for visitors of all ages. Located in the heart of the island, it’s surrounded by lush greenery, creating a relaxing yet adventurous atmosphere. The park features a variety of thrilling slides, such as the Kamikaze, Black Hole, and Tornado, as well as family-friendly attractions like the Lazy River.

    For younger visitors, there’s a dedicated kids’ area with smaller slides and shallow pools. Aqualand also provides plenty of amenities, including free sun loungers, restaurants, snack bars, and changing facilities, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
