What To Expect
Silesian Museum
We will start in front of the Silesian Philharmonic, which since 1945 has been one of the most important places of cultural life in Silesia. We’ll wander around Plac Wolnosci, one of the oldest squares in the city and home to the beautiful Goldstein Palace, then head to the Market Square along 3 Maja Street, which is one of the most expensive streets in Poland. At every turn, our Expert Guide will help you imagine Katowice during its prolific industrial years when the streets of the Old Town were adorned with bright neon lights.
We’ll admire the grand Silesian Theater and other historic and modern buildings surrounding Rynek (Market Square), and the guide will give you personalized tips on the best local restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops to visit during your stay. You will also dive deep into history, as the tour will pass by the WWII Monument to the Scouts of September and the Silesian Insurgents' Monument. The final stop will be Spodek, the iconic structure in an unusual shape of a flying saucer. Book now to fall in love with Katowice!
