Katowice - anything but boring

A very modern train station

There's nothing to see in Katowice? Well, I could discover a lot! For sure, this city in south-western Poland can't be compared to Kraków. But you can't compare Kraków to other cities, because it's simply the best city. However, it's worth to discover nearby Katowice. It's definately not that ugly as everybody believes. The city had its heyday in the 1950s when its numerous coalmines and steelworks flourished. Until today it is known as an industrial centre of Poland, but heavy industry has significantly decreased and Katowice is moving towards small businesses and trade.
