Katowice - What to do in winter in the city?

Winter in the city? Why not! Katowice, although often associated with smog and grey winter streets, actually hides a wealth of winter attractions. We don't have to wait for spring to get out of the house and have fun! Although Katowice is not a well-known winter resort, the city makes sure that both residents and tourists can spend their free time in an active and interesting way.

Skates and sleds

How about ice-skating? Scattered throughout the city's various districts, from Katowice's Market Square to Murcki to Silesia City Center, the ice rinks encourage with free access and ideal conditions for both beginners and experienced skaters. Special slides and smaller ice rinks have been prepared for children, where they can safely enjoy winter fun.

In addition, Kosciuszko Park has been attracting winter enthusiasts for years with its free, floodlit toboggan run. This is a place where children and adults alike can experience real winter fun. However, remember that only toboggans and apples are allowed on the track!

Cross-country skiing

What about cross-country skiing? This form of winter activity, in Katowice, is steadily growing in popularity. Imagine the tranquillity of the forest and the snow creaking under your skis. Sounds tempting? Fortunately, in the city's surroundings, in forested areas and parks, special trails have been prepared for cross-country skiers of all levels of ability, leading through picturesque landscapes such as the Three Ponds Valley or the Giszowiecki Forest.

Winter in the City

Special attention should be paid to the 'Winter in the City' programme aimed at children and young people spending their holidays in Katowice. The city has prepared a range of workshops, sports and educational activities. Would you like to try something new? How about Laser skirmishes? How about family walrushing to warm up even on the coldest days?

And for those who prefer quieter forms of spending their time, the Municipal Public Library invites you to "Ferie z książki", while Katowice City of Gardens invites you to winter music-making. In addition, the Municipal Cultural Centres have prepared a variety of art workshops and creative activities - ideal for little artists and explorers.

Not only seasonal attractions

When thinking about how to spend a free afternoon, don't forget that Katowice is full of interesting places that await their visitors all year round. For anyone bored by the grey winter weather, there's the Jumpcity trampoline park (where adults are said to have just as much fun as children!), the Silesian Planetarium or the Carmen Parrot Park. A great choice for the whole family will also be Mr Kleks' Fairy Tale, where adults will be transported back to their childhood days, while children will have the opportunity to solve many riddles and puzzles, learn how to set sail, and look at the problem of plastic in the seas and oceans.
