Podkarpackie (Subcarpathia) is known for its stunning landscapes, outdoor activities and ethnocultural diversity, but the region's many small towns - each with their own history, character and attractions - should also be of interest to visitors. Located in southern Poland between overpopulated Lesser Poland (Małopolska) to the west, Ukraine to the east, and the Carpathian Mountains to the south, Podkarpackie's lack of major urban centres (okay, Rzeszów - 15th-largest city in Poland - we see you) gives the region an unhurried appeal, perfect for travellers who prefer a slower pace and deeper immersion in local culture.
