Cheap flights from Manchester to Katowice from £26

The story about buying fresh, high-quality and cheap food on markets doesn't work in Katowice. If you still want to feel a special atmosphere of shopping on the market, be ready to pay double or triple the price for the same products which you can get in local supermarkets at lower prices. Any local would advise you to go to Biedronka, Simly or Zabka supermarkets. They are all open from 6:00 to 22:00 or 23:00.

This small private museum is quite popular with tourists. Its collection includes more than 70 plucked string instruments from all over the world.

Just don’t forget to book your visit in advance!

A picturesque Moszna castle is located a 1.5-hour drive from Katowice. Built in the 19th — 20th centuries, it combines Baroque, Neo-Gothic, and Neo-Renaissance styles. The park and the pond nearby add to the beauty of this building. The former residence of industrial magnates is now a hotel and a tourist attraction. 19th-century Pławniowice Palace, which lies halfway from Katowice to Moszna castle, may seem less striking but is still worth a visit.
