The promenade is also crammed with stands offering the traditional oscypek cheese and local handcrafts.

Kościeliska Street - it was there that the life of Zakopane used to focus before shifting to legendary Krupówki. The riches families built their houses here and the first pensions for tourists emerged. Nowadays, many model examples of the former highlander’s houses can be seen in the street.
