Although Katowice is well known for being an industrial city, producing steel and coal, many people are now choosing flights to Katowice as they're flying here on business. Katowice has been transformed into a modern business city, and is attracting many companies looking to locate to Poland, or Eastern Europe.

The city of Katowice goes back a long way, and it was mentioned by Ptolemy in the 2nd century.  There were also silver and lead mines around here in the 13th century, so perhaps it comes as no surprise that Katowice became such an industrial city over the years.

Flights to Katowice might be mainly taken by those on business, but if you're coming here on a leisure visit you might be interested in the architecture.  Many of the buildings here are influenced by Bauhaus, and De Stijl as well as Le Courbusier.  Why not visit the historical worker's area Nikiszowiec and the garden town of Giszowiec?  If you like history with a difference or enjoy different types of buildings, then you'll want to book flights to Katowice and see these building for yourself.

Thanks to its industrial heritage, there are impressive transport links to Katowice.  The rail and road links are good, and flights to Katowice land at Pyrzowice Airport just outside the city, so it's easy to get to where you need to be when you land.    Nowadays, flights to Katowice are bringing lots of business people who are looking to take advantage of the commercial opportunities offered by Katowice.  This city also has 80 000 students, so there are many other resources and facilities available.

Most modern cities have extensive shopping and retail areas, and Katowice is no different.  However, many of the shopping centres, museums and galleries in the city are in disused factories, or mine shafts.  An interesting blend of the old and new.    Katowice also has many events going on all year round, so no matter when you book your flights to Katowice, you'll find that there's something going on here.  What about booking your flights to Katowice to watch international volleyball, or motorcross or perhaps you'll want to experience something more traditionally Polish?

Surprisingly, almost of half of this city is green fields and forests.  Each year, more playgrounds, cycle paths and parks are made in the city so that there is more for the residents to do, and to make the city nicer to live in.

As it is only 40km away from Katowice, many people book flights to Katowice to visit Auschwitz.  The Holocaust Museum is a stark reminder of the genocide of over 1 500 000 people during WW2.

If you're booking business flights to Katowice then perhaps you'll be looking to expand your company into Europe, or maybe make use of the facilities and resources here.  If you're flights to Katowice are for a leisure visit, perhaps for a weekend or city break, then you'll discover a lot more than just a former industrial city. With lots of greenery around the city, and a positive attitude, it's not hard to see why so many people are booking flights to Katowice.
