Rzeszów is a city in southeastern Poland, located along the banks of the Wisłok River. The city grew up in the Middle Ages, and it was granted city rights and privileges by King Casimir III in 1354. Rzeszów then developed as a trading city by being on some of the trade routes between Europe and the Ottoman Empire, and later there was trade with Gdańsk that flourished and made the city prosper.
With the partitions of Poland, Rzeszów lost its importance as it came under Austrian rule and suddenly was located far away from centers of power and trade routes in the empire. When the city became Polish again, it flourished as a regional center, and it is still the case today, where Rzeszów is an attractive city with a growing population and many attractions for tourists.
In Rzeszów you can explore a beautiful, well-preserved old town, laid out according to the same pattern as seen in countless Polish cities. The market square Rynek is the center, and it is surrounded by elegant houses with many restaurants with outdoor seating in the season. The city’s old town hall from the 16th century is also located on the Rynek, and shops are nearby in the streets also housing sights such as the city’s old and new synagogue.
In the southern part of the center is the beautiful and impressive Rzeszów Castle, which in its current version is a reconstruction of the residence castle of the House of Lubomirski, whose history started as a castle with bastions and moats. There is a lovely park around the castle, where you can e.g. find the city’s popular multimedia fountain and the fine summer palace of the Lubomirski family.
Krakow is a beautiful and charming city, which is Poland’s former royal capital and one of the country’s cultural strongholds. The city has cozy streets and squares that belong to the most charming of any European city. You will find an abundance of beautiful buildings and fine churches and much more.
The old royal and cultural center was the castle Wawel, where the rulers were forward thinking as one of the major cities in the country and region with, for example, one of Central Europe’s oldest universities. Krakow’s large and beautiful market square is another of the many places to visit while in the city.
Prešov is a city in eastern Slovakia, which was established by German settlers in the years after the Mongol invasion of the region in 1241. In the following centuries, Prešov became an important city for trade, often located on the borderlands between the changing kingdoms of the time, and it developed the city. Later, salt was mined, which strengthened the city’s economy. As a historical curiosity, it was in Prešov that the short-lived Slovak Soviet Republic was proclaimed in 1919.
Today, Prešov is the third largest city in Slovakia, and it has a beautiful old town with cozy streets and nice squares. Along the central street, Hlavná, you can see the church of Konkatedrála svätého Mikuláša, which was constructed in the middle of the 14th century and later rebuilt. There is a square around the church where you can see a beautiful urban space with many fine houses, and this streetscape continues in the side streets in this part of the city.
