Destinations and Airports: Katowice

Katowice is one of the most important economic and academic centres in Poland, as well as being the administrative centre of the province of Silesia. Katowice has two things in abundance, namely churches and museums. The Church of the Immaculate Conception is a Catholic church built between 1862 and 1870. It is the first and only Catholic church that has been preserved in an otherwise protestant city.

Also worth a visit is the city palace on Wolność Square, dating back to the second half of the 19th century, or the famous “Silesian Museum”.
