Mielec

The oldest part of the city retains a medieval urban layout with a centrally located market square. You can also see here houses and villas typical for small towns of the late 19th/early 20th century.

Those interested in the history of the town and the region can visit the Regional Museum located in the Oborski family mansion, at 37, Legionów Street, and its Photography Department at 19, Jadernych St.

An important place on the map of the town, Góra Cyranowska Forest Park is an excellent place for leisure and recreation for people of all ages. There are walking and cycling trails, a small amphitheatre, and an artificial mountain stream, beautifully illuminated after sunset. In winter one can enjoy an approximately 116 metre long sledge track.

Mielec is home to Polskie Zakłady Lotnicze, the largest company operating in aviation industry in Poland.
