Cafe Fiore

When you are tired by walking around the city you can rest a little in café Fiore. There are many kinds of different ice- cream as well as many delicious desserts. Good coffee will set you on your feet. If you visit Przemysl with your small children –they will be delighted of this place. Outside the café is a small kinder garden where they can play and have fun.

Favorite thing: Before visiting Przemysl, check the official city website, which provides many useful information (in English) about culture, history, sights, hotels, comunication and all other stuff you will need. It's really very good website and I strongly recommand it! You can even download the city map from there.
