Vé di động
A small ancient village in South-Eastern Poland, Zalipie, is definitely one of the country’s top tourist attractions. Not because it has five-stars hotels or massive glass buildings, but on the contrary, due to its small wooden cottages, which are painted in the most vibrant colors.
The secluded village of Zalipie is home to a charming tradition. Over a century ago the women of the village began to paint their houses: however, it was not the single, uniform color one might expect from a traditional and conservative society.
Important notice:
This tour will be held only if in the group will be at least 2 participants.

Zalipie
Zalipie- colourful village, is famous for the decoration of its houses, with cheerful paintings on the walls and stoves, and crepe-paper flowers, paper-cut designs and hay spiders. This tradition has existed in the Powiśle Dąbrowskie region since the end of the 19th century. Flowers were also painted on external walls of peasant cottages and farm buildings, on fences, wells and even kennels. In Zalipie, there are now around 20 painted houses. The best known example of this original folk artwork is the homestead of Felicia Curyłowa (currently a branch of the District Museum of Tarnów), a Zalipie painter whose painting was already known in the period between the wars. During our tour, you will get to see beautiful decorated private houses and gardens, chapels (more than in the description below), the Felicja Cyrołowa Museum, the House of painters, church, Zalipie village around.

Zalipie’s best guide!

5.00We loved Zalipie! Having Maciej as our guide and chaperone for the day was honestly the best decision we made! I had done literal hours of research when it came to Zalipie and had originally planned to do it ourselves! I AM SO GLAD WE HAD MACIEJ! Zalipie is often portrayed as a place where all the unique buildings are close together.. but it’s not. You have to know where to go and who to talk to! Maciej made a stop for us on the way to get a light snack and coffee as well as a beautiful hidden gem (we were lucky we could get it before a service). Once we arrived in Zalipie he knew the locals and knew which properties we could and couldn’t enter and had the utmost respect for the towns people. Some of the properties we were even able to meet the artists who had GENERATIONS of experience! If you’re going to Zalipie, I CANNOT RECOMMEND MACIEJ HIGHER- he is the man to take you there!

5.00The trip was amazing. Maciej was a great tour leader and I would highly recommend going on one of his tours. He's very passionate about the tours and that everyone's is enjoying the tour. The village was beautiful and visiting people painted house was a great experience. It's clear that Maciej has a great rapport with all the people in the village to make the trips run as smoothly as possible.

5.00Our guide and driver were terrific, and took very good care of us. The town and the painted houses were beautiful. We visited a small museum first, then several private houses and gardens, and were able to meet some of the artisans themselves. There were also opportunities to buy some handpainted crafts directly from the artists. This was a great opportunity to get a bit off the beaten tourist path.
Painted Houses- Great Experience!

5.00Our guide, Matthew, helped make this a wonderful experience. He was easy to talk to and answered all of our questions. We saw beautiful countryside and enjoyed the painted houses. It would have been very difficult to do this on our own. Matthew had relationships with some of the home owners. It felt like a very personalized experience. We highly recommend this tour.
Unique and beautiful cultural experience

5.00Want to experience something totally unique and feel the culture of tradition combined with lovely countryside? This is the tour for you. Our guide Mathew (Maciej Szymoniak) was exceptional. We had the pleasure of traveling on the Eagle Nest Castle tour earlier in the week and were thrilled to be with him again. We met people, saw the insides of their homes and experienced a very heartwarming and beautiful tradition. Everywhere we went we were warmly welcomed. It is clear Poland Active has invested in getting to know the people and their families. We were so glad we booked this tour. It is something even as well traveled individuals that we have never experienced before. Very special and beautiful.

Wonderful tour, one of a kind experience

5.00Our day in Zalipie was the highlight of our long weekend in Krakow. My 26-year old daughter and I took dozens of photos of the many houses we were able to see. The interiors were extra special, as was the opportunity to meet one of the artists. Mathew was knowledgeable and a terrific guide; he knew exactly which houses to visit and where we could get up close. So glad we decided to take the tour, we would have not met the artist or seen so much on our own.
