Public transport
It is not necessary to use the public transport in the centre of the city as all places are easily accessible on foot. There is no problem with going to other city districts as well. Means of transport are fast and, what is important, they run very often. The tickets should be punched in the vehicles. You may purchase a weekly or monthly ticket, which entitles the user to an unlimited number of rides with all the lines.
- By Air - Katowice airport (located in Pyrzowice), which is about 30 minutes by car from the city centre, provides daily connections to many European cities. From the airport you can get to Katowice by direct bus, which is much cheaper than traveling by taxi.
- By Rail - The railway station in Katowice is about 20 minutes on foot from the “Gallus”. There are direct over-night sleeper rail services from main European cities such as: Paris, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, and others. Rail journeys to major cities in Poland (Warsaw, Krakow and others) are available several times a day by express or `Inter City trains.
- Local transport In Katowice one reduce price ticket costs 1.20 zł, full price – 2.40 zł. However if you know you will be using the public transportation many times within the day or weekend you can buy more economical tickets, valid for a given period of time, eg.: 24 hours, 3 days, 30 days, 90 days. More information are available at KZK GOP
- Taxis -Taxis are not difficult to find because of the many small taxi companies competing with each other, especially in the city area. We suggest not to take the taxi from the train and bus station, because they are far more expensive than from other companies. Phone number for the cheapest taxi companies in the area are for example: Radio Taxi - 9191, Halo Taxi - 9629
How to get to the school: By bus: from the main railway station in Katowice: stand nos. 10; the buses going along Mikołowska street ( the 3rd stop: Brynów, W. Pola Street; the landmark – the “Wujek” mine).
