Shopping

What little shopping opportunities there are to be found in Katowice are mostly located in the area immediately north of the train station. Like most of 21st-century Poland, many shops are given over to the sale of women's fashion, with shops that you really need, or would like to see, in seriously short supply. As well as the small, communist-era malls around the Rynek, Katowice's best collection of shops under one roof is the extraordinary Silesian City Center. If you can't get it here, it probably doesn't exist
