A thriving, dynamic city, Katowice is considered the cultural and administrative center of Upper Silesia, the southeastern part of the historical region of Silesia. For years, coal and steel were the dominant industries of the city; today, Katowice is an artistic hub with ample museums and music halls—and Vienna House Easy by Wyndham Katowice is ideally situated to see it all. Visit the Silesian Museum, housed in a former coal mine, or catch a show at the nearby Spodek arena. Nature lovers can stroll through Kosciuszko Park while culture enthusiasts can take in a performance at the Silesian Theatre or the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra. You can also take a day trip to the Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau, enjoy a baking class at the Museum of Bread, or tour the Tyskie Brewing Museum.
