Poland is a country in the very heart of Europe. Poland borders on Germany, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and Russia. Its northern border – runs along the Baltic Sea coast. The capital city is Warsaw. In Poland you can find almost everything: Alp – like mountains, wide sandy beaches, clean lakes, wonderful forest, world class monuments. Although the climate is moderate, people here are warm, good-hearted and hospitable. Old, thousand-year-old towns and cities with their unique atmosphere invite guests to explore their art and culture. Small, picturesque villages let visitors relax and take a rest from noisy civilization. And all this alternates with captivating, changing landscapes. Because wild, pure and diverse nature is the largest of Polish attractions.

Poland has a moderate climate with both martime and continental elements. Generally, in northern and western Poland the climate is predominartly martime, while the eastern part of the country has a distinctly continental climate with harsh winters and hotter drier summers.

You cannot get bored in Katowice. The city vibrates with social, cultural, and first of all, night life. Everybody will find something for themselves. Katowice offers a lot to night life enthusiasts. There are many places where the fun goes on till the morning. Polish bars are commonly called “pubs”, although beside the name they have little in common with the traditional, English ones. They are stylised after Irish or Scottish pubs, but each one has its own unique décor and atmosphere. They serve exquisite beer and close when the last guest leaves, which means the fun can last until the early morning. Dance lovers may “have their fling” in discos to the rhythms of techno, hip-hop or rock music.
