Dębica is a city in southeastern Poland, located in the Subcarpathian Voivodeship. It was granted city rights in 1358 by King Casimir the Great and has a long history as a trade and craft center.

Today, Dębica is a major industrial hub, home to companies like the Dębica tire company (part of Goodyear) and various food processors. Despite its industrial character, the city gives green spaces and a regional museum that showcases the rich history of the area.

The city lies on the main A4 motorway and railway line connecting Kraków and Lviv, making it easily accessible. The surrounding area has opportunities for outdoor activities in the easy on the eye Subcarpathian foothills.
