Rzeszow
Rzeszów, the capital of Subcarpathia, is a popular stop on the way to Bieszczady. However, it's worth staying here longer, taking a walk around the Old Town, or along the boulevards by the Wisłok river. You could even plan a weekend or a few days trip here, combined with sightseeing in the surrounding area.
