Market Square in Rzeszów - What to see?
From the Dobranocek Museum, we move to the heart of the city: the Market Square of the Old Town. In the shadow of an interesting historic building, the town hall, it's worth stopping by the historic well. You can also grab a bite to eat in the numerous outdoor restaurants, cafes, and pastry shops.
Take a look into the well in the square! There awaits... a toad! Perhaps the name Rzeszów originated from the croaking of frogs?
ATTENTION! If you use the interactive panel near the well, you can "bring the toad to life", which will emit mysterious sounds...
Brave history and adventure enthusiasts can explore the modern, multimedia adventure called the Rzeszów Cellars Underground Tour.

Piano on the Market Square in Rzeszów

At full hours, you can listen to the "Rzeszów hejnał" - a composition by T. Stańko resounding from the town hall. Rzeszów is proud of its musicians, including Tomasz Stańko, Wojciech Kilar, and Tadeusz Nalepa (you will meet him on our walk!). Perhaps this is why the idea of placing an outdoor piano on the Market Square originated here?
You can also visit the branches of the Regional Museum in Rzeszów on the Market Square, including the historical museum (armor, weapons, city plan) Museum of the History of the City of Rzeszów >>> and the ethnographic museum (folk costumes and interesting temporary exhibitions):

3 Maja Street in Rzeszów - Attractions on the promenade
From the Market Square, we walk along T. Kościuszko Street to the main promenade of the city: 3 Maja Street, formerly known as Pańska or Paniaga Street.
Right next to the Farna Church, an unusual "passerby" greets us: the walking statue of Tadeusz Nalepa.
A bit further, we find a "witness of history": an interesting display case with historical street pavements.
After crossing the intersection with Jagiellońska Street, we encounter the complex of the Piarist Monastery.
One of the former monastery buildings houses the oldest high school in the city, the former gymnasium, whose student was, among others, Ignacy Łukasiewicz. In the other building, you will find the main headquarters of the Regional Museum in Rzeszów. The permanent exhibitions here include archaeological collections, a collection of militaria, a gallery of Polish and European painting, and artistic craftsmanship.

From 3 Maja Street, we head towards Lubomirskich Street towards the castle. On the left side, we pass the summer palace of the Lubomirski family:

Before we rest (and have some fun!) at the multimedia fountain, let's take a look at the Pod Kasztanami Avenue - this is where the most beautiful Secessionist villas are located:
Along Pod Kasztanami Avenue, we will reach the monument of Jan Pakosławic, a knight to whom King Kazimierz the Great granted ownership of the city of Rzeszów in 1354.
From here, it's very close to the castle tower, where supposedly the golden brick is hidden.
