Zakopane is on my list. I do disagree on Warsaw though. It has changed so much, from the two times I’ve been there (2014 and 2023). It’s become one of my favorite cities. Lots of great restaurants and parks. It’s a lot greener than people think. And they’ve done a lot along the banks of the Wisła.
The running joke in Warsaw is the best view is at the top of “Stalin’s cock” because it’s the only place you can’t see it.
