One of the most desired places for photographers is 8 km from the city center. The estate is still inhabited, and the full-of-character pubs contribute to its extraordinary feeling.

Spodek
Has UFO landed in Katowice? Until 2014, the Spodek Arena, with its steel dome weighing 300 tons, was Poland's largest sports and entertainment hall, with seats for 11,500 viewers. The iconic symbol of Katowice, sited in the city's central point, clearly resembling a spacecraft after landing, was built in 1971. An interesting aspect is that the first concert of Metallica in Poland took place in Spodek in 1987.
