Tucked into the foothills of the Carpathians beside the Wisłok River, Krosno is a place whose character is shaped by its long association with glassmaking and the industrial traditions of south-eastern Poland. Its compact historic centre centres on the Market Square, where townhouses recall Krosno’s role on the old routes towards Hungary. The Glass Heritage Centre presents the craft for which the city is widely known, including demonstrations that bring the work of glassmakers into the heart of a visit. Krosno also lies close to Bóbrka, home to a museum devoted to the early petroleum industry and the work of pioneer Ignacy Łukasiewicz.
