ΕΝΟΙΚΙΑΣΗ ΑΥΤΟΚΙΝΗΤΩΝ Αεροδρόμιο Ρζεσζόφ (RZE)

Rzeszów, the capital of Poland’s Podkarpacie region, has been a European meeting point for nearly 700 years. You can reach Rzeszów from the airport in under 15 minutes by car (via Lubelska). Although a lot has changed here over the years, the city has managed to hold on to its cultural and historical heritage.

Rzeszów is a vibrant university city. Of its 170,000 residents, nearly one third are students. This is reflected in the lively, youthful atmosphere of the city. Still, its interior is quiet and humble. Much of Rzeszów’s architecture was destroyed during the world wars, but its Old Town is still well worth a visit.

Rzeszów is famous for its silver jewellery and the town abounds with local artisans. Walk into any gallery or artisan shop and you’ll find silverworks, paintings and sculptures for sale. The glass pieces are all made according to the traditional designs of the 19th century. Wicker, wood, clay and textiles are also popular materials.

For a true taste of culture, sample some of the local fare. Most restaurants in town serve traditional dishes based on old recipes and use local produce. White and smoked cheeses made with goat’s and sheep’s milk are most famous, as well as sausages, smoked bacon, proziaki (pancakes), whey soup and cabbage dumplings. The local bread is made using a unique method. It’s baked either in cabbage or horseradish leaves.
