The Minorite Basilica of the Transfiguration is a 17th-century church. Its Baroque interior includes an image of Our Lady of Fire. Those interested in sacred art can also visit the permanent museum exhibition of sacred collections belonging to the parish. This offers a way to complement a look at the church with an insight into these collections.

An audio guide with two self-guided tours is available for exploring the basilica. Each lasts approximately 20–30 minutes. The audio information is available in Polish and English. The two tours offer a clearly defined way to explore the basilica's features; you can take your preferred language into account when planning.

A centrally located 19th-century town hall dominates the market square. The Adam Fastnacht Regional Museum offers another way to explore local history. Its exhibitions focus on the archaeology, ethnography, and history of Brzozów. These topics offer different perspectives: the museum brings historical and ethnographic content together, while the town hall shapes the character of the market square as a building.

Two former buildings also offer clues to the town's history. The former “Sokół” Gymnastics Society building is an Art Nouveau structure and is now used as a cultural centre. The former building of the College of the Missionary Priests dates from 1746–1760. When choosing cultural experiences, you can consider architecture, local history, and the Regional Museum's exhibitions as separate interests, without combining them into a single visitor offering.

The approximately 3 km Brzozów-Zdrój nature and educational trail runs near Brzozów. Information boards highlight features of the natural environment and forest. The trail also includes an educational hut with teaching boards, exhibits, and portable display panels, as well as a fire pit and a play area. Alongside the information provided along the route, the trail offers other tangible ways to spend time outdoors.

The trail covers different themes from Brzozów's cultural attractions: nature and forest are its focus, while the basilica features sacred collections and the Regional Museum covers archaeology, ethnography, and local history. You can weigh these topics against one another when planning a trip to suit your interests. The nature trail is approximately 3 km long; you can take this approximate distance into account when planning your day.
