Voykit pocket guide · Poland

Nisko

Skip Nisko unless you have a specific reason (family, work, football match). Half a day is enough: see the parish church, walk the market square, then move on.

Nisko is a small town in Podkarpackie, south-eastern Poland, with a population under 15,000. It has a single notable sight (the Parish of St. Józef) and a local football club. Most travellers pass through on the way to Rzeszów, Przemyśl or the Bieszczady mountains. One hour covers the centre; half a day is generous.
