And who could forget Colargol (aka Barnaby), the most famous resident of the Museum of Bedtime Cartoons.
To relax, recharge, take in some fresh air and admire some of the city’s fine nature, the boulevards on the banks of the River Wisłok are the green heart of Rzeszów, boasting great cycle paths, plenty of places to rest and lush vegetation.
