Cycling day trip from Rzeszów to Przemyśl

Start your ride in Rzeszów, the vibrant regional capital of Podkarpackie—home to colorful market squares and a buzzing student scene. From there, you’ll cruise southeast towards Przemyśl, a beautiful border town rich with history, perched on the San River and known for its majestic hilltop castle.

This roughly 95 km route has a bit of everything: rolling hills, with an impressive 1,630 meters of ascent, and sweeping descents that invite you to let loose. Most of the ride (over three-quarters!) is on paved and smooth asphalt, but be ready for some varied surfaces, with occasional gravel or rustic stretches that add character.

You’ll pedal through scenic countryside, peaceful villages, and quiet backroads—perfect for soaking in the views and dodging heavy traffic. As you approach Przemyśl, keep an eye out for its charming architecture and panoramic vistas.

Pack some snacks and enjoy the ride—this route delivers both a solid workout and a healthy dose of southeastern Poland’s natural and cultural beauty!
