Cheap flights to Katowice

Citizens of the USA and the United Kingdom can visit Poland without a visa for up to 90 days within any 180-day period for tourism purposes. Their passports must be valid for at least three months beyond the intended date of departure from the Schengen Area. Poland is part of the Schengen Area, so time spent in other Schengen countries is also counted. It is recommended to have medical insurance for the duration of the trip.

In Katowice, you should visit the local churches – St. Mary's Church, the wooden Church of St. Michael the Archangel, and the Cathedral of Christ the King. Additionally, explore the museums and (if traveling with children) visit the planetarium and observatory.

For admiring nature and ancient castles, it's better to head to the nearby towns of Racibórz, Sosnowiec, and Zabrze.

You can get from Katowice Airport to the city center by taxi or express bus.

In Katowice, you must try traditional Polish dishes. These include soups (krupnik, kapuśniak, and for those who like something unique, czernina, a soup made with goose blood, dried fruits, and vegetables).

Also, try the appetizers (smalec with herbs and fruits, lard, and herring with sour cream) and meat dishes – beef roulade with onions, peppers, and pickles in a spicy sauce, pork belly in honey, and duck with apples.

You can sample these dishes at Pierogi Świata, 8 Stolików, 3 Siostry Bajgiel i Kawa, Złoty Osioł, and Chata z Zalipia.
