Giszowiec is the twin district of the famous Nikiszowiec. However, it looks completely different. Giszowiec, built between 1906 and 1910, was designed as a ‘garden city’ for local miners. The original dwellings look like rural English cottages: sloped roof stand-alone houses surrounded by gardens. You can still admire the tranquil beauty of the surviving buildings. Don’t miss the old schoolhouse with its clock tower, decorated by a metal stag head and a cross.

The list of firearms available at the Katowice shooting ranges includes pistols, rifles, automatic rifles, and machine guns. You can even use such historic weapons as an MG-42, a Mosin rifle, or a Maxim gun. No permit is required; just don’t forget to take some ID. Get an adrenaline rush and feel yourself a Rambo!

Since 2018 the Polish government has greatly restricted Sunday trading. In 2020 the shops were allowed to open only seven Sundays in the entire year. Żabka convenience stores, kiosks, pharmacies, gas stations, open-air markets, bakeries, and souvenir shops are exempt from the ban. However, that is only a fraction of what a true shopping fan will want to visit in Katowice. Make your plans accordingly!
