As the publicity bumpf tells you, there is so much
more to Katowice than er, Katowice. While you may
have landed at Katowice International Airport, you’ll
quickly have realized that you are actually not in
Katowice itself. To get there you need to travel 35km
and pass through a number of other towns which,
while you and I might consider them Katowice, the
locals certainly do not. Katowice is just one town
(though probably the most well known) in Poland’s
biggest urban conglomeration. There has often
been talk of merging all of the different towns and
cities together under one ruling body and one easier
to identify name and brand. But while the proposal
for the city of Silesia was rejected out of hand, the
area still has quite an issue with a united identity.
And not just the locals. In the past we’ve tried to
maintain some kind of identity for each of the towns
by giving them separate sections but it was getting
more confusing and difficult to manage. We see the
whole conglomeration as one place and the towns
within it as districts – think London with Chelsea
and Camden Town – and after much debate we’ve
decided so will you. So those of you familiar with our
Katowice guide will notice that the cover has had a
small and not particularly snappy ‘and the Silesian
Conglomeration’ added to the title. Inside we have
merged the places to sleep, eat, drink and see into a
single section each, meaning our restaurant section
now has tips on where to eat in places as far apart
as Gliwice and Sosnowiec. You’ll spot these as we
have added the town or city name to the address
and more often than not you will find them on our
set of maps at the back. If no town is mentioned
the venue is in Katowice. Clear? We hope so and we
will try to widen the number of places covered in the
guide over the coming issues so that you can get the
most out of the whole conglomeration. Let us know
your thoughts and any tips you might have at the
normal address editor_poland@inyourpocket.com
and don’t forget you can leave your own thoughts
on venues listed here and online at our website
katowice.inyourpocket.com.

thought to signify the connection of the club with the Silesian
Uprising movement). The outbreak of WWII saw the Nazis
shut the club down and replace it with Bismarckhütter Ball-
spiel Club but with the war over Ruch Chorzow returned to
form part of the newly created Polish league. A hat-trick of
league titles arrived between 1951 and 1953 with a further
two championships in the 1960s, three in the 1970s and a
final hurrah in 1989.

With the national side typically recruiting from the limited
number of players plying their trade in foreign leagues, Polish
clubs struggle to attract talent. Their standing in European
competition is a disgrace, with their last representatives in
the group stage of the Champions League being Widzew Lodz
all the way back in 1996. The 2010/2011 season saw all bar
one Polish entry in Europe out by the end of August, beaten
by mighty clubs such as Austria Vienna, Aris Salonika and
Qarabag of Azerbaijan. The one remaining club in Europe,
L e c h Pozna n, we n t som e way to balan ci n g th at wi th a spi ri te d
show in the Europa League which saw them beat moneybags
Manchester City and eliminate Juventus after drawing with
the Italians twice - including a tremendous 3-3 result in
Turin. More good news can be found in the development of
a number of new stadia around the country, some of which
are to play host to games in the Euro 2012 finals. However,
the fact remains that the quality of the Polish league is poor,
c orrupti on h as b e e n ri fe (cu rre n tl y over 10 0 p e opl e h ave b e e n
arres te d i n re c en t ti m es for football relate d o f fe n c es - i n cl u d -
ing club officials and referees) and attendances are low in
comparison to most major European leagues.
Ruch’s most famous (or possibly infamous) player depending
on who you speak to was the Polish/German Ernst Wilimowski,
who, after having moved from the German 1. FC Kattowitz
to the Polish Ruch Hajduki in 1933 went onto help the club
win the Polish title five times in six years between 1933 and
1938, scoring 112 goals in 86 games. Representing Poland,
Wilimowski scored four times against Brazil in the 1938 World
Cup finals and when war broke out had a record of 21 goals in
22 international matches. As a Silesian and native German,
Wilimowski was valued by the Nazis and went onto play for
1. FC Kattowitz and the German national side during the war
years before settling in Germany after the war, where he con-
tinued to rack up the goals despite being well into his thirties.
His legacy is one that is much debated, but as a footballer
he is still remembered as the man who scored a record 10
goals in a Polish league game: a record that still stands today.

The ticket office is open on match days from 5hrs
before kick-off. You can also pick up tickets during the

Open 09:00-17:00, Wed 10:00 - 18:00. Closed Sat, Sun.
While we would not wish to discourage you from taking in a
game here, we do recommend you exercise a certain amount
of caution. To give you a start, here is an introduction to the
conglomeration’s major clubs and a round-up of how and
where to watch the games.
The post-communist era has seen Ruch Chorzow bounce
between the top two-levels of the Polish league, and the
club now seems to be concentrating on developing its own,
homegrown players rather than joining in the investment-
driven chase for success. Surprisingly, even though Chorzow
is home to Poland’s national stadium, Ruch find themselves
playing in a rather run-down 10,000-seater arena; most of
which is uncovered.
We’ll no doubt make enemies for life with this, but the area’s
biggest and most successful club is probably
Górnik Zabrze
(we can hear the pages of this magazine crackling now as
Ruch Chorzow fans warm themselves by the flames at an
evening kick-off). The fact that Górnik means miner should
tell you all you need to know about the traditions of a club
that has 14 Polish league titles to its name as well as six
Polish cups. C reate d i n post-war Z a b r ze by th e m erger o f fou r
other clubs, Górnik picked up their first league title in 1957
and the next 11 years never saw them outside of the top
three, including an unprecedented five titles on the bounce
between 1963 and 1967. Their most memorable night prob-
ably came in 1970 when they fell 2-1 to Manchester City in
the final of the old Cup-Winners’ Cup. Despite their first ever
relegation in 1978, a swift return saw them add a further four
titles in a row between 1985 and 1988. Aside from a close
run thing when they lost the title by two points in 1995 to
L e gia Warsaw (a ca mpai gn th at ca m e d own to a c on troversial
last game against the eventual champions, and which saw
Górnik finish the game with eight men), Górnik have failed to
reach the heights of the communist era. Of the players who
have represented Górnik over the years the most famous are
Włod zi mi er z Lu ba ń ski (th e s c orer o f Pola n d’s goal at We m bl ey
in 1973: a goal which knocked England out of the World Cup)
and the Polish league’s all-time record goal scorer Ernest
Pohl. Górnik’s rather bare-bones stadium is now named
after this legendary goalscorer - who scored 186 top-flight
goals between 1953 and 1967 - having originally been built
in 1934 as the Adolf Hitler stadium. There are plans in the
pipeline to build a new 32,000 all-seater stadium.
Górnik Zabrze
The conglomeration can also boast at least another four
clubs:
GKS Katowice
,
Polonia Bytom
,
Piast Gliwice
and
Zagłębie Sosnowiec
. Of these,
Polonia Bytom
currently
and miraculously occupy a place in the top league but
are a club in utter turmoil with no money, a stadium that
is decrepit even by Polish standards, the lowest gates in
the Ekstraklasa and a future that looks bleak at best. By
the end of this issue it is likely that they will either have
dropped out of the league on points or because there is
no chance of their Ekstraklasa licence being renewed for
the 2011-12 season.
GKS Katowice
and
Piast Gliwice
occupy spots in the 1
st
division (I liga) - which is Poland’s
second level - and
Zagłębie Sosnowiec
in the region-
alised 2
nd
division (II liga).
If there was anywhere in the country which might be de-
scribed as the ‘hot-bed’ of Polish football then you are in it.

three of which currently reside in Poland’s top division: the
Ekstraklasa. The area is also home to Poland’s national
stadium – the imposing Stadion Slaski (Silesia Stadium) in
Chorzow. So it’s about time, particularly with the finals of
the EURO 2012 football championships coming up, that we
shone a spotlight on football in the region.

Poland is a country with a rich football heritage, fanatical and
knowledgeable supporters and a major European tourna-
ment to look forward to hosting. However, there are some
major problems to contend with first: corruption, incompetent
administration of the game and a serious hooligan issue, and
while there have definitely been big steps made to improve
things in recent years, the country still has much to do.
One thing to be very aware of when attending a football
match in Poland is the host club’s relationship with their
opponents. Supporters tend to have friendships and alli-
ances with supporters of certain other clubs and at these
match-ups the atmosphere is incredibly convivial, in a way
which might strike foreign visitors as peculiar. Alternatively,
if the host is playing either one of their own or one of their
‘friend’s’ rivals it can be not far short of all-out warfare. For
the record, GKS Katowice and Gornik Zabrze are friends. On
the other side of the fence are Ruch Chorzow, while Piast
Gliwice and GKS Katowice don’t like each other either at
all. Gornik Zabrze (and by default GKS Katowice) don’t like
the Three Crowns clubs (Wisla Krakow, Slask Wroclaw and
Lechia Gdansk). Confused? Don’t be. Knowing the difference
can have a major influence on your enjoyment of the day. For
those finding these relationships a little hard to understand
comfort yourself with the thought that when Legia Warsaw
c om e to town you won’ t n e e d to c onsul t you r po cket ‘relati on -
ships’ book – everyone in this part of the world hates Legia.
Poland as a national side has finished third in two World
Cups, and older fans amongst you will remember the likes
of Grzegorz Lato (Golden Boot winner at the West Germany
World Cup of 1974), Kazimierz Deyna and Zbigniew Boniek
(one half of the great Juventus midfield pairing with Michel
Platini). Poles are big fans of football, but the current state
of the game in this country is depressing. The national side
has been in turmoil since before Leo Beenhakker - the ex-
perienced Dutch coach who had managed to get Poland to
their first ever European Championship in 2008 - was fired
(live on TV) on the pitch after Poland crashed out of World
Cup 2010 qualifying in Slovenia. Since then, the national side
has been trying to rebuild itself but a series of defeats, poor
performances and lack of new talent have Poles thankful that
Górnik are not the only side to hold 14 Polish league titles,
a record that is equalled by their great local rivals
Ruch
Chorzow
. The club, under the name of Ruch Hajduki, were
one of the founder members of the Polish league in 1927 and
went onto win the league five times before the merger of the
Hajduki Wielkie and Chorzow districts saw them adopt the

Eurolines counter and all departures (
odjazdy
) and arrival
times (
przyjazdy
) noted up on the board. Outside the few
departure lanes offer no shelter from the elements. A toilet
stands outside with insistent old ladies charging 2zł for the
displeasure of using their facilities. The good news is that
you find yourself in the heart of town: all you have to do is
walk forward and take a swift left turn at
ul. Mickiewicza
(C-2) and within three minutes you’ll find yourself staring at
the principal main street,
ul. Stawowa

go further onto the
Rynek
(C-3) to find the nearest tourist
information point, however. While it doesn’t offer tickets or
phone cards, it does offer maps and advice and there is also
internet there. If you want to buy a phone card or to connect

Poland is one of Europe’s leading nations in road fatalities,
a statistic that will surprise few who have had the pleasure
of using the roads here. A lethal combination of poor road
surfaces, networks unsuited to the volume of different traffic
and, most of all, frustrated and aggressive driver behavior
result in the common sight of mangled wrecks around the
country. Be cautious and keep a safe distance between
you and the vehicle in front. The speed limit in Poland is
generally
50km/hr
in cities (60km/hr between 23:00 and
05:00),
90km/hr
outside urban areas,
120km/hr
on dual
carriageways and
140km/hr
on motorways. All cars must
have their headlights
switched on at all times and carry a red warning triangle, first
aid kit, replacement bulbs, a national identity sticker and
proper registration and insurance documents. Poland also
has strict drunk-driving laws:
0.2% is the maximum blood/
alcohol limit
, so forget about having even a single beer. You
can use your home driving license or an international driving
permit for six months from the entry date on your passport.
Carry your license and passport at all times when driving.

counters. There is an airport information point on the first
floor of terminal A. Phones can be found in terminal A and
you can buy cards for them at the Relay news kiosk there.
Taxis wait directly outside and can deliver you to Katowice for
100-150zł
. Numerous shuttle buses also make the same
journey, including Wizzair mini-buses with times coordinated
to arriving flights (

The Train Station
Public Transport
As far as first impressions
go, Katowice has always
gotten itself off on the
wrong foot with visitors.
That was undoubtedly
the fault of the city train
station - a truly ghastly
abomination sheltering all
manner of strange smells,
dubious characters and seriously bad juju, instantly giv-
ing credence to anyone’s prior trepidation. Completed in
1972, this concrete monstrosity was a textbook example
of the architectural trend aptly known as ‘brutalism’ and
long divided locals between those who despised it for
being an ugly, inefficient use of space, and those who re-
garded the graceless building as a architectural artefact
so u ni q u e i t sh oul d b e forever preser ve d as a m on u m e n t
to bad taste. Fortunately the former camp prevailed and
designs were approved for the complete reinvention of
Katowice’s train station. With total investment in the
project estimated at 240 million Euros, the new station
plans to handle 9 million passengers per year with 520
trains running through it every 24 hours. The develop-
ment will incorporate a large shopping complex and
underground parking lot, with additional shopping and
entertainment venues on Szewczyk Square. There will
also be a re-routing of many streets in the surrounding
area in order to create a fully integrated transport hub.
What this means for travellers is that the whole area is
going to be a major construction site until the station is
completed, something which is pencilled in for the 2nd
q uar ter o f 2 01 2 (th e 135,0 00 m2 sh oppi n g gall er y is d u e
to be finished by the end of 2012 and the office space
by 2013). During this time the bulk of the main station
will be closed and a temporary train station (‘Dworzec
Tymczasowy’) within part of the existing complex will
be in use. This can be reached from Plac Oddziałów
Młodzieży Powstańczej (D-2) on the opposite side of the
station from the old main entrance, plus entrances from
Pl. Szewczyka 1 and ul. 3-go Maja (entrance under clock)
from where you can access the temporary station via
tunnels. In the temporary station travellers can find all
the same facilities of the main building - cash machines,
toilets, an information point, ticket windows, etc. - albeit
crammed into a much smaller space. As such, we stress
that th ose travelling from Katowice by train sh ould allow
themselves some extra time to deal with the potential
for extended queues, confusion and disorientation re-
sulting from the construction works. If pressed for time,
remember that tickets can be bought onboard the train
from the conductor for a small price mark-up.
The sole advantage of Katowice’s train station is its loca-
tion, right in the centre of town with taxis and buses waiting
just outside the entrance. Several direct trains run daily
between Kraków and Katowice, taking about 120 minutes
to make the journey. It is also possible to travel between
the cities of the Katowice conglomeration by local train:
starting at 05:03 and running until just after midnight,
trains run 3 to 4 times per hour from platforms 1 and 2;
the trip to Zabrze is about 25 minutes, to Gliwice 35 min-
utes,. Station departure boards (odjazdy) are indicated by
their yellow timetables while arrivals (przyjazdy) are white.

Open 24hrs.
An extremely well developed system of trams and buses
operated by the wonderfully named KZK GOP provide a
simple and fast way of getting around Katowice and its
surrounding towns. The tickets for the network are valid
for both buses and trams. A three-zone system is used, of
which Katowice is in zone-one and Chorzów in zone-two.
Accordingly, a one-zone ticket is required for the former
and a two-zone ticket for travelling between the two. A
one-zone ticket costs 2.60zł and a two-zone ticket costs
3zł. There is also a three-zone ticket available for 4zł and
th is ti cket al so d ou bl es as a on e -h ou r ti cket all owi n g you to
swap forms of transport (bus to tram and onto a different
tram for instance) during the course of an hour. A 12zł 24hr
ticket allows travel within all three zones, though it’s hard
to imagine getting your money’s worth out of this without
spending the whole day on the tram. Though, we admit,
there’s not much reason to get off.
PKP
Almost all travel within Katowice and Chorzów can be
accomplished using trams, most of which run through
the stop at the Rynek. Tram number 6 runs between the
Rynek and Chorzów via the Park of Culture & Recreation
and is the most useful tram for getting there and back.
Tickets can be bought from any kiosk, or from bright
yellow machines found at many tram stops around the
city. Make sure you validate tickets when entering the
tram or bus. The penalty for riding without a validated
ticket is 70zł on the spot.

Katowice is a straight 75km drive west from Kraków along
the A4 highway, one of the better stretches of road in the
country, but it’s smooth asphalt doesn’t come free. Toll gates
can be found at either end at which you will need to pay 8zł
if driving a car. This brings you in on Al. Górnośląska (F-5).
The other major route in will bring you along route 79 onto
ul. Chorzowska (B-1). Driving around Katowice can be a bit
hellish for those uninitiated to the complexity of the city’s one-
way streets and the constant presence of roadwork, so we
recommend you ditch your vehicle at the earliest opportunity.
Car crime is not unheard of and you’ll be safest leaving your
ride in one of the guarded parking lots listed below. Street
parking is also available and generally operates under the
control of a local parking warden. He will be wandering along
his patch wearing a bib of some colour and will charge you
around 1.50zl per hour to park.
Guarded Parking
B-3, ul. Korfantego 35a (entrance
from ul. Olimpijska).
