3. Car Rental
During our week-long trip to Zakopane, we found a great deal on a car rental, even during the busy summer season.
This gave us the freedom to explore the area at our own pace.
When my family visited from Jordan, we rented a seven-seater, which was the most cost-effective option for our long-distance travels between cities.
