Katowice
Located in the Upper Silesian industrial region of southern Poland. Katowice has transformed its industrial heritage into a creative urban identity – the iconic Spodek arena, the repurposed Silesia City Center, and the mining museum in the Nikiszowiec district all testify to this metamorphosis. As a UNESCO Creative City of Music, it is a pulsating centre for concerts and festivals.
