Arboretum Bolestraszyce

Highlight • Natural

A fantastic place, just 8 kilometers from Przemyśl. There's a museum of insects and stuffed animals, beautiful gardens (with peacocks!), and lovely lily ponds (especially beautiful in spring and summer).

Przemyśl Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Przmysl was an important small town in the Austrian Galicia-Ludomeria, which suffered extremely under the German Wehrmacht in World War II, front line to the Soviet Union.
The city is worth a visit and is the starting point for a detour to Lwow. Unfortunately, Przmysl is the first city to boast the addition of LGBT-free city on the place name sign.
However, not all residents will agree.

Przemyśl Market Square

Highlight • Settlement

On this popular, slightly sloping square, you will discover a beautiful fountain with a statue of a bear and her cub. Very beautiful buildings surround it. There is also a sign indicating that Santiago de Compostela is exactly 4,031 kilometers away. You are without knowing it on one of the roads leading to Compostela from Poland.

Monument to the Good Soldier Švejk and His Dog Rudolf Rex, Przemyśl

Highlight • Monument

The monument to the good soldier Švejk is located on the market square in Przemyśl. It depicts the figure of Švejk sitting on a box of ammunition, holding a mug of beer in his left hand and a pipe in his right. The author of the monument is the sculptor Jacek Szpak. It was unveiled in the summer of 2008.

During the Schweikko Maneuvers in 2016, a dog was unveiled whose bowl systematically fills with pennies thrown in by tourists.
In 2017, next to Švejk, the Instruction Manual for the statue of the Good Soldier Józef Švejk was placed, which reads:

If you grab Józef Szwejk for:
1. Hat - you will be smart
2. Nose - you will be happy
3. Epaulettes - you will advance
4. A pipe - a joy for a woman
5. A pint - you won't be thirsty
6. Shoes - they won't get you out of work
7. Ears! - you will be considered a spy
Attention! You can use one beneficial option.

Przemyśl Pedestrian and Bicycle Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The pedestrian and bicycle footbridge over the San in Przemyśl is a structure suspended on 24 steel cables, weighing about 175 tons. It is an attractive point on the bicycle route, offering spectacular views of the river and the city panorama. Right next to it, on the southern bank of the San, is the Green Velo Cyclist Service Area (MOR), where you can rest and use the infrastructure for cyclists (a shelter, benches, bicycle racks).
