yumyum Says: The townhall was first erected in the 16th century. It was rebuilt many times since then. From 1897 till 1900 was the last big modification. The decorations are in pseudo-gothic style.
yumyum Says: The castle is now the seat of the Court of Law. Earlier from 1821 until 1981 it was a prison. Today's building dates back to 1903-1905. The first castle dates back to the 16th century and was ordered to be built by Mikolaj Spytek Ligeza. It had to be rebuilt and enlarged...
Ben-UK Says: I'm afraid I don't know what this building is -- maybe one of the locals can help? -- it's between the end of ul. 3 Maja and the Castle -- but it's a good example of the sort of architecture you can see when wandering the streets.
Ben-UK Says: If you follow ul. 3 Maja away from the Rynek end, you'll eventually come to the Old Town Castle. It dates back to the end of the 16th century, but following recent renovation it looks brand new. In the past it's been used as a jail, but it's now the law courts.
Ben-UK Says: The main shopping street in Rzeszow is ul. 3 Maja.In my photo, you can see the Piarist Church and former Monastery on the left -- this complex houses the Town Museum (closed Mondays).

The Czarny Kot: Traditional Polish Food
darren_st Says: This is a small restaurant nestled in one of the side streets in Rzeszow. The food served is great if you want to experience local cusine, you can eat dishes such as Pierogi Ruskie (like Ravioli) or Bigos (Hunters Stew). The food is warm and filling and the service is...
Ben-UK Says: Enjoyed a really good meal at the Czarny Kot -- wide ranging menu -- friendly, efficient staff -- and good food.
Wlad Says: 'Dexter' restaurant is the place I would recommend, provided that you like pizza. There are only 4 tables there, so it is not easy get a table there, especially in the summer. As far as I remember they have always had reasonable pricing and kind service. There are only four...
The Irish Pub "Galway": A little in piece of the Emerald isle in the east.
darren_st Says: When I first went into this pub for the very first time, I found it to be a warm and inviting place just like any real Irish pub. Even though this pub is an Irish theme pub, the place has an individual quality all of its own. There are very few native English speakers in...
Becuse nightclubs and bars are...
Wlad Says: Becuse nightclubs and bars are usually full at weekend evenings so crawling from one place to another becomes a kind of nightlife itself. When I am going out with my friends we usually all meet at The City Hall at 8 and we decide where to go. You won't find anything unusual...
Most famous Rzeszow's disco...
Wlad Says: Most famous Rzeszow's disco club is Akademia. There some interesting events organized there like miss competitions or concerts of famous rock stars. Apart from that you can have regular disco - party. They play different music depending on the day. Akademia is the place...
Pawtuxet Says: Seems as if you can make good train connections from all directions thru Rzeszow. The train stations seemed confusing to me because I don't speak the language and I found the schedules on the wall pretty useless for this reason. I would suggest that you know which train you...
Ben-UK Says: Next to the train station on ul. Grottgera about 500m from the Rynek.Services to Przemysl, Sanok, Krosno, Zamosc, Lancut, etc. -- and one a day to Warsaw.The are no buses to Slovakia -- the service to Kosice stopped a couple of years ago.
Ben-UK Says: The train and bus stations are together on ul. Grottgera -- it's about 500m to the Rynek.There are many daily trains to Przemysl to the east and to Tarnow, Krakow etc to the west. There are 2 or 3 trains a day to Warsaw.If you want to go to Kosice (as I did), then you have...
Wlad Says: Moving within and around Rzeszow is not as challangeable as getting there. Some foreign tourists may be nicely suprised by the taxi charges. Since Rzeszow itself is not a big city it is convinient to use bicycle or local buses (MPK - usually red ones) to moving from one...
Helpfulness
Michael was the taxi driver we engaged for a half day out of Rzeszow. It was a short drive to Kolbuszowa, and he was as helpful as could be with his limited English. The hotel clerk said he enjoyed practicing his English, so he is enthusiastic about tourists like us. We all had lunch in a little neighborhood restaurant in Kolbuszowa..he helped us with the menu, and everyone seemed to get a bang out of these crazy Americans. They were so delighted to have us seeking out their little town. Michael was the first to find a gravestone w/ my family's name...he got right into the swing.

You need to be careful when walking around the streets of Rzeszow. It's actually illegal to cross the road at points that are not designated crossing points. You can see the correct points designated by zebra style crossings, although cars don't have to stop when they see you waiting to cross. Always wait until the 'green man' comes on to advise you to cross the road. Crossing before this happens could also land you in trouble with the police.
Although generally roads in Rzeszow in main areas are quite good, the roads and pathways the less busy parts of Rzeszow are not very well maintained. Always take care walking the streets, its very easy to trip on a loose paving slab or broken tarmac. I know from experience.

Solina lake is the place, where I am trying to be at each holiday. It is just 3 hours by coach (PKS) or 1,5h by car. Most of people come and basically enjoy their times at the beaches or in the pubs. But if you know how to run a boat,you can experience sailing from POlanczyk village, to Chrewt or to Solina village. There are some touritships alternatively. There is something for the pub crawlers as well, lot of open - air parties, and some pubs and discos as well. Energetyk's island is a place where I usually put up my tent. Nice climat and 'real' sailing culture.

Ben-UK Says: Not sure if the locals like this communist-era monument ?? -- it's on Al. Ciepinskiego -- diagonally opposite from the Hotel Rzeszow.

We passed through Rzeszow as I searched for my grandfather's village. We had driven south in a rental car, explored Czestochowa, Pajezno, and a few other little places. We headed for Rzeszow by train...
