My first eye-opening contact with Katowice was last year during Industriada – an annual festival of technical landmarks in Silesia.It was mind-blowing! In one day the industrial spaces, usually closed for public, welcomed visitors. I could go on top of the mineshaft, see the century-old steam engine working, walk through the power plant or admire t...
I was somehow mesmerized by Katowice and Silesia. Some of my friends and family members live there and each of them says how good place to settle down it is, how they wouldn’t trade it for anywhere else. How come the place with such a bad reputation could be so good after all? Well, it didn’t take me long to figure it out. I was lucky as when I fin...
My first stop in Katowice was the Silesian Museumand I couldn’t have asked for the better start. The museum was founded in 1929 but only last year it got its new location in the grounds of the former coal mine “Katowice”. For the person who doesn’t know much about the region, it’s a perfect introduction to the history of the city and Silesia. Katow...
Silesian Museum is part of so-called Culture Zone, spreading in the center of Katowice and being a perfect example of the revitalization of the urban grounds. I remember not so long time ago, after the Katowice mine shut down, this part of the city was just a waste, a blank space on the map. Other cities in Poland and beyond should learn from Katow...
If you think (like I used to) that cool places in Katowice are only in the Zone of Culture you are so wrong. Shortly before my visit, a new leisure spot was opened in the very center of the city, with palm trees (borrowed from the palm house in nearby Gliwice), sun beds and a small pond. It looked beautiful! On a hot day like the one I had it was v...
Even if I’ve visited Katowice a couple of times before I never really ventured in the part of the center behind the railway line. I don’t have a good explanation for that but since Katowice has never been a tourist destination for me guess I’ve never really had any errands there. Crossing this virtual border was like stepping into the new world for...
This part of the city is also a pure heaven for every fan of modernism architecture. Since Katowice is a fairly young city, gaining the city rights in 1865, the fair share of its development happened at the beginning of the 20th century when modernism was at its peak. I know for many this style of architecture is nothing that special, it took me a ...
If you ask local people which place you cannot miss when you visit Katowice they will most likely point you to Nikiszowiec and Giszowiec, two workers’ quarters located at the eastern outskirts. They were both built at the beginning of the 20th century, for workers of the nearby mines and they couldn’t be any more different! While Nikiszowiec is all...
Not far from Nikiszowiec was my last stop and a perfect end of my time in Katowice – the Wilson Shaft Gallery. I’ve already been there during Industriada but back then it was packed with people and I couldn’t properly see and enjoy it. This time however it was blissfully empty and again I was lucky to admire art naif paintings there. It was actuall...
I had plans for the evening out in Katowice as well (checking out the nightlife on famous Mariacka street or go for one of the cultural events that were taking place) but the terrible storm forced me to change my plans. Which was good in a way as I could have a calm evening in the hotel, rethinking my whole day. As for the city that was supposed to...
