Głogów Małopolski, Poland

This town of 10,232 residents is a commuter hub for nearby Rzeszów, lacking much draw of its own. With a history of destruction and rebuilding, Głogów Małopolski's infrastructure remains a persistent headache, from the frequent fires that plagued its wooden buildings in the 19th century to the ongoing challenges of its rail and road networks today. Though the town was spared the worst of World War II, its Jewish population was tragically decimated by the Nazis. For those seeking an affordable, well-connected base from which to access the amenities of a larger city, Głogów Małopolski may suffice, but it offers little in the way of independent urban appeal.
