Explore the captivating capital of Podkarpackie province, a bustling hub of economic, academic, cultural, and recreational activity in southeastern Poland with a rich history steeped in legends of knights.
Despite its size, Rzeszów offers a diverse range of attractions, from ominous torture chambers and a formidable castle-fortress to magnificent Art Nouveau villas and the beloved Museum of Bedtime Cartoons, home to the infamous Colargol (also known as Barnaby). One of the city’s most popular destinations is the Underground Tourist Route, which takes visitors on a 369-meter journey through 25 cellars and 15 corridors located 10 meters below ground. This short but fascinating walk offers a glimpse into the Middle Ages with its authentic replicas of punishment devices, a revolver that fires bullets filled with pepper or snuff, and a vast collection of aged Hungarian Tokay wine. The interiors, adorned with stone portals and cross-ribbed vaulting, exude a historic ambiance that sets the scene for an unforgettable experience.
