The best city hikes and walks around powiat sanocki

New mural on the wall of the building on the busy Jagiellońska street in Sanok

Today was my first time visiting this place. We waited less than 12 minutes for our pizza, and the prices were around 42-44 PLN (33 cm diameter), depending on the type. The dough was nicely risen, and there were plenty of toppings, so the three of us struggled to finish two pizzas. A quiet place, with quiet music in the background. The spacious space is located in the basement of the building, below street level, so there's less outside noise. The name "Oliwki 3" might suggest to someone from outside the city that it's located at number 3 Oliwki Street, but there's no such street nearby. 😀 WW

The graduation tower is open to the public during opening hours on the grounds of the State University of Sanok. It is a single, wide column, standing between two university buildings. Next to the tower are benches and an information board with the terms and conditions of use (see photos). The board states that the graduation tower is activated by pressing a button located below the board, and that the recommended inhalation time is 45-60 minutes. WW

Homemade ice cream made in Sanok, several unusual flavours: sweet, salty or sour, see photos. Scoop 8 PLN, sugar cone 1.50 PLN. I ordered gingerbread and summer party ice cream - the latter with a hint of sourness, I can recommend both. The ice cream shop is open from 9:00 to 20:00 in the season, and in the case of a cloudy morning from 10:00. There are a few chairs to the left of the building. It is best to come here on foot, because parking at the ice cream shop can be problematic, especially on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, there is no paid parking zone and on these days it is easier to find parking, except for mass hours in the nearby parish church. My jaw dropped when I looked at the receipt - the company is called "SZLAGPOL" 😮 I wouldn't call my company that 🤔, but the name makes sense here - the owner is Piotr Szlaga. 😀 WW

A small confectionery and ice cream parlor is an additional point of sale of the PIERZ confectionery located on Podgórze Street. Among the various cakes, I can recommend the traditional cream cake, current price PLN 4.80. There is very little space inside, but two chairs and a table have been arranged, and outside there is an openwork gazebo with chairs and a table. The location is very advantageous - by the promenade, which tourists and cyclists use from the Sanok castle and the Market Square towards the parish church or the bench of the soldier Švejk. The confectionery is open in the summer season: Mon - Fri 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Sat 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. Sun 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. WW

In times long past, the Market Square in Sanok was an oasis of greenery in this part of the city. After the change of regime, the trees were cut down, and the Market Square was paved mostly in red, hence its name, Red Square. On hot days, the center of the square is unbearably hot. You can seek refreshment under the umbrellas where ice cream is sold, or by the fountain located closer to City Hall. Even better, stop by the Franciscan Church for a moment and find not only refreshment but also peace. WW

The pierożarnia is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Besides serving several varieties of pierogi, they are also available to take away in thermal packaging. We ordered the Hungarian-style pie shown in the photo. In the same building is the flagship store of the Sanok bakery Jadczyszyn, offering bread and pastries. Open Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 4:30 PM and on Saturdays from 6:30 AM to 1:00 PM. WW

MEDIATEKA IN SANOK March 6, 2023 The "Sowa Discovery, Imagination and Activity Zone" is being created in Sanok - the result of cooperation between the Municipal Public Library in Sanok and the Copernicus Science Center. Thanks to the targeted subsidy granted by the Minister of Education and Science for the launch of local activity zones, the Copernicus Science Center will create a total of 32 local mini-science centers by the end of 2023, including the Sanok center as the only one in Podkarpacie. The Mediateka will occupy the former seat of Junior High School No. 3. In addition to the exhibition zone where workshops are organized, the Mediateka in Sanok will feature an exhibition hall, the Retro Games Zone, which will present the development of computer hardware since the 1960s and various electronic entertainment products.
