Situated in the Subcarpathian voivodeship, Przemysl is a city of about 67,000 people, making it one of the largest cities in south-eastern Poland. Due to its proximity to the Ukrainian border, the city has always been a thriving trade centre. Przemysl has developed flourishing metalworking, textile, and timber-working industries, and today the city is becoming one of the region's most promising business centres, drawing investors and business people from all regions of Poland and neighbouring countries.

Besides doing business, Przemysl is also a great place to spend your holidays. The town is very tourist friendly, offering a good range of hotels and pensions at reasonable prices as well as being simply fascinating to explore - especially if you remember that after Krakow, this is the second oldest settlement in southern Poland. Immediately after crossing the city walls you will notice plenty of sights to remind you of Przemysl's former glory, including the 18th century Franciscan Church, which has some of the finest examples of Austrian Baroque. Don’t miss the late-Renaissance Carmelite Church with its unique pulpit shaped like a ship, or the nearby Cathedral, which incorporates remnants of a 12th century rotunda. Complete with numerous museums (the Diocesan Museum and Museum of Bells and Pipes being particularly recommended) and a square lined with cosy cafes and restaurants, Przemyśl is a must-see, especially if you are seeking a convenient base for further exploration of Eastern Europe.
