The heart of the three-million-strong Upper Silesian agglomeration, is a city full of energy and ambition that has transformed in recent years into one of Poland’s fastest-growing metropolises. Thanks to well-thought-out investment policies and its strategic location in the center of Europe, the city has become a symbol of dynamic economic and cultural development. Once primarily associated with heavy industry, today it surprises with modern infrastructure, a diverse cultural scene, and green spaces that invite both residents and tourists to explore the charms of this unique place.
The city’s rich sports history, which dates back to the early 20th century, cannot be overlooked. Katowice is the cradle of Polish figure skating, a discipline that began developing here as early as 1906. Local athletes, trained in Katowice sports clubs, have represented Poland for decades on international stages—from European and World Championships to the Olympic Games. The passion and determination of these skaters have cemented Katowice’s position as one of the most important sports centers in the country.
Today, Katowice is not just about history but also the future—a city that combines tradition with modernity, serving as a model for other cities in Poland and beyond. It is a place that inspires, evolves, and attracts, offering a unique space for living, working, and active leisure.
