Katowice car tour

Katowice car tour is a trip during which we comprehensively present Katowice. We travel by car, which allows us to quickly reach the most interesting places in different parts of the city. At numerous stops, the guide tells you about the place. Of course, each time there is also time for photos and a short walk.

We meet at the Katowice Market Square to introduce ourselves to the atmosphere and history of the city before our almost 30-kilometer route. First, we go to Bogucice. In this oldest district of Katowice, we see the neo-Gothic Basilica of St. Stephen and Our Lady of Bogucice and the house where Jerzy Kukuczka was raised - one of the most outstanding Himalayan climbers of all time. Our route could not miss a visit to the Culture Zone and Nikiszowiec. Nikiszowiec can boast a gem of architecture - a patronage housing estate built at the beginning of the 20th century. The next stop is the Wujek Mine, where tragic events took place in 1981. Then we admire, among others, the modernist "Skyscraper", the socialist realist Youth Palace, the majestic Archcathedral of Christ the King and the building of the Silesian Parliament recognized as a historical monument. The guide also presents the terrible story of the "Red Widow". We return to the Market Square area, crossing the entertaining Mariacka Street and driving along Warszawska Street, famous for its historic tenement houses and villas.
