Mielec is a city in Subcarpathian Voivodeship, located in the Sandomierz Basin on the Wisloka River. It is inhabited by 60,000 people, making it the second largest city in the province. In the 1990s the country's first Special Economic Zone was established there, an attractive investment area where thousands of people find employment and entrepreneurs have favorable conditions for conducting their business. Mielec is famous for its rich aviation traditions, multi-industry fairs and the Mielec Music Festival.
.What to see when visiting Mielec? It's best to start your sightseeing at the market square, since the city's inception a cultural and commercial center. Also noteworthy is the Oborski mansion and its surrounding park. This palace, built at the turn of the 19th century, is now the seat of the Regional Museum, where you can see interior furnishings and furniture from Mielec bourgeois houses, paintings or rich archaeological collections. The Museum of the History of Photography in Mielec is worth a visit, with more than 5,000 exhibits, including old cameras, negatives and photographs. For a walk and a rest amidst the greenery, it is best to go to the interestingly arranged Forest Park on Cyranowska Mountain.
.Miellec is located at the intersection of provincial roads 985 and 875, about 60 kilometers from Rzeszow. The A4 highway runs 30 kilometers south of it. The Mielec bus station is located on Kazimierza Jagiellończyka Street next to the train station, about a kilometer from Mielec's market square. A sports airport is located in the northern part of the city, which is also used for testing aircraft equipment manufactured by the Polish Aerospace Industries. If you want to visit Mielec, you can find a bus connection from your town on our website.
.The bus station where our coaches stop is located on Hindenburgstrasse, not far from the main train station. It is actually the center of the city, so you will reach the nearest and one of the most important points of interest in the city, St. Vitus Basilica, on foot in twenty minutes.
On the other hand, heading north you will reach two parks, full of sculptures and installations, designed by some of Europe's greatest artists.
If you're a Borussia Moenchengladbach fan, but don't want to devote your trip solely to the match, consider visiting Skulpturpark Abteiberg or Bunter Garten, two gardens. In the latter you will also hit the botanical garden and arboretum.
The Abteiberg Museum, adjacent to the aforementioned St. Vitus Basilica, is also worthy of your attention. There, the works of Andy Warhol and Gerghard Richter await you.
The museum is a great place to visit.
Monchengladbach can furthermore be a base for exploring nearby larger cities such as Cologne and Düsseldorf. Accommodation in Monchengladbach should be slightly lower than in the state capital. In addition, Monchengladbach, through its proximity to the Belgian and Dutch borders, can be a stop on a trip specifically to the Benelux countries. Although, in our opinion, the number of attractions in the city makes Monchengladbach as a city able to fill a tourist's calendar for virtually a whole week.
