How The Month Feels
January feels cold and frequently wet, with very limited sunshine. The upside is a relaxed pace: crowds stay low and costs are low, so you can spend longer inside without pressure.
What To Lock In Early
With low crowds and low prices, you usually have more flexibility than in peak months, but indoor museum planning still helps on rainy days. Keep your outdoor stops—Zamek Lubomirskich and Pomnik Czynu Rewolucyjnego—slotted for weather openings instead of fixed hours.
What to do
How to do it
Plan cue
Start with Muzeum Okręgowe w Rzeszowie and the two other top museums, then add outdoor landmarks when weather allows
Plan cue
If you want outdoor time, schedule Zamek Lubomirskich and Pomnik Czynu Rewolucyjnego for the same window rather than spreading them out
Plan cue
Use a museum-heavy day plan because the attraction mix is weighted indoors (3 indoor vs 2 outdoor)

Quick answers
Sometimes, but it is more of a selective pick than an all-purpose recommendation.
Expect around 2.9°C by day and -1.7°C at night, with 79.8 mm of rain across roughly 15.6 rainy days.
Pack warm layers, a light rain jacket, and shoes that handle wet pavements well.
Often yes. This kind of month can make more sense on value than on perfect conditions, especially if cheaper stays and flights matter more than peak-season polish.
