About Rzeszow

Impressive social scene of bars, cafes and clubs

Although relatively small by Polish standards, Rzeszow is also the central industrial and administrative city for South-eastern Poland, with an impressive social scene of bars, cafes and clubs supported by the flourishing local student population. Here you can enjoy the traditional polish cuisine presented with creativity and to an excellent standard. Throughout the year the city enjoys plenty of attention from visitors looking to revel in the well-established music festivals on show throughout the year.

The relatively small size of Rzeszów means hotel accommodation is thin on the ground, but there are still some gems here, all reasonably priced. If you want a treat, book a room at the lavish Grand Hotel Rzeszów (Dymnickiego 1A), a few minutes from the centre, or equally luxurious newcomer Hotel Bristol (Rynek 20-23), where the rooms are light and spacious. At the lower end of the budget is slightly out-of-town Hotel Hetman (Langiewicza 29B), where rooms are modest but pleasant. Those who want all the mod-cons might like Hotel Rzeszów (Józefa Pi?sudskiego 44), which has a spa and health club and is attached to a brand new shopping centre.
Shopping malls form the backbone of Rzezsów’s retail offering, with the largest of these the Millenium Hall (Kopisto 1), close to the city centre. There are often large screens showing sport or music events outside to complement the hunt for the latest fashions. For Polish brands and lower prices head to the Full Market (Rejtana 53), or to the character-rich streets of Grunwaldzka, 3 Maja and Kościuszki in the Old Town for crafts, antiques and Polish souvenirs.
