In recent years Katowice has undergone a huge transformation from place of heavy industry, coal and steel to the modern capital of a metropolitan area with 2 million inhabitants.

Walking from the bus station Sądowa (4) to Novotel (6) takes about 20-25 minutes.

If you are looking for a cosy place to chat, relax, eat and drink, don't forget the Mariacka street.

In and around Katowice there are several shopping malls. One is situated in front of the main railway station.
