Emerging out of a decades’ long coal-dusted post-industrial slump, Katowice is reinventing itself as a sophisticated center for small business and trade. Visitors won’t want to miss two interesting areas: Nikiszowiec, a historical workers area, and Giszowiec, a garden town. UFO-shaped Spodek is worth seeing. Katowice is not where people go to enjoy nature due to its industrial past. One bright spot for nature lovers is Voivodship Park of Culture and Recreation. At the end of a day exploring Katowice, travelers can stop in Biala. Malpa where they’ll find the largest selection of craft and bottled beers in the city, including many tasty Polish microbrews.
