The international airport handled 4.8 million passengers in 2018, a 24.3% increase on the previous year. In 2018, Katowice Airport saw some 40,000 aircraft movements, an 18% increase on 2017.

Katowice Airport has its origins in WWII, when the German Luftwaffe built an airfield in Pyrzowice's surrounding countryside in 1940. Between 1945 to 1951 the airport served as a base for Red Army soldiers. Later the Soviet Government handed over the airfield to the Polish Army. Passenger traffic didn't start until October 1966, when the first LOT Polish Airlines aeroplane left for Warsaw.

The first passenger terminal opened at the end of 1969, when Katowice Airport also received taxiways and an apron. Since 2000, the airport has seen numerous upgrades, including an extension of the aprons and taxiways and runway strip.

Today the airport is connected to the rest of Poland via the S1 expressway, which opened in November 2016. It links Pyrzowice's airport to the Podwarpie interchange.

There are three terminal buildings today, A, B and C. Terminals A and B handle Departures, while C terminal is dedicated to Arrivals only.

Katowice is a large city in the Silesian Voivodeship ( województwo śląskie ) in the south of Poland. In 2021 it had a population of 315,000; it's the central city of Metropolis GZM (population 2.3 million) which in turn is part of Upper Silesian-Moravian metropolitan area sprawling across the Czech border. It's not scenic, but has a rich industrial heritage.

Understand [ edit ]

A series of medieval villages grew up in the forest clearings of Silesia, working at agriculture and small-scale metal-bashing; Katowice is first documented among these in 1598. They urbanised from the 18th century when coal mines plumbed deeper underground, and better processes were invented for extracting metals such as zinc and for turning iron into steel. Katowice outgrew its neighbours and in 1873 it became the county town. Poland in those centuries was carved up by other nations and Katowice was part of Prussia, later of Germany. It was well-connected by rail to other cities and attracted service industries such as banking. After the First World War the border was re-drawn, based on a plebiscite; Katowice voted to remain German but the district all around it voted to join Poland and it had to follow suit, becoming the regional capital.

The Second World War and Nazi occupation brought a high human cost but only selective damage to city buildings - the synagogue was one obvious target but city industry was wanted for the war effort. Then in 1945 the Red Army "liberated" Katowice by destroying much of it, and post-war communist rulers carried on in that vein. Rynek the central market square was soon ringed by the slabby 1960-70s architecture now mocked as "Early Gierek". Later in the 20th century traditional smokestack industry collapsed, labour unrest grew, and the miners of Katowice were as instrumental in the downfall of "the People's Republic" as the ship-builders of Gdańsk.

The city, region and entire nation of Poland had to re-invent themselves after 1989, developing a western free-market economy with a greater role for service sector, education and IT. Other Polish cities have prettified themselves into romantic budget-flight weekend destinations - that was never realistic for Katowice. It does however have a wealth of heritage, good visitor amenities, and transport links around Silesia and beyond.

Get in [ edit ]

By plane [ edit ]

Onward transport:

• Airport Bus takes 50 min to the main railway and bus stations, every 30 min daytime and hourly through the night.
• Matuszek Bus runs direct to Kraków .
• Buses also run direct to Bytom (No 85, 53), Mierzęcice (No 17) and Sosnowiec .

Kraków ( KRK  IATA ) is a major tourist destination so its John-Paul II Airport has excellent connections across Europe. Flixbuses from Warsaw and Gdańsk call here every few hours on their way to Katowice, but it's usually more convenient to take the frequent bus or train into Kraków city centre and change.

By train [ edit ]

Trains from Warsaw run hourly and take just under 3 hours via Sosnowiec . They may start from Gdynia or Gdańsk.

From Kraków they run hourly and take an hour via Myslowice.

From Berlin Lichtenburg, two trains a day take 6 hr 30 min via Rzepin, Zielona Gora , Glogow, Lublin , Legnica , Wrocław , Opole , Gliwice and Zabrze , and continue to Kraków. From Wrocław the service is every hour or so, taking two hours and continuing to Kraków, Tarnów , Rzeszów , Łańcut and Przemyśl on the Ukraine border.

From the Czech Republic, trains run from Ostrava every hour or two, taking two hours via Bohumin, Wodzislaw Slaski, Rybnik and Tychy. These may start from Prague, Vienna or Budapest.

On cross-border routes, look for split-ticket deals. Reservations are compulsory on all trains from Germany in July and August.

Outlying stations are Zaleze 3 km west, Brynów 5 km southwest and Ligota another 4 km south, and Zawodzie 3 km east.

By bus [ edit ]

From Warsaw, Flixbus runs five times a day, taking 4-5 hours via Katowice Airport.

From Gdańsk they run eight times, taking 8-9 hours via Toruń , Włocławek, Łódź and the airport.

From Berlin they run every hour or two, taking 8 hours via Berlin Airport, Wrocław and Opole .

From Prague they run eight times, taking 6 hr 30 min via Brno , Olomouc and Ostrava . From Vienna takes 6 hours by the same route.

From Kraków is a frequent service. Flixbus, Unibus and Bus-Inter all run hourly, taking 65 min, for a fare in 2024 of 15 zł. They use large coaches with luggage trunks; consider booking, as they sell out at busy times.

By road [ edit ]

Get around [ edit ].

On foot [ edit ]

Many sights are within a km or two of Rynek or the main railway station. The pavements are broad and level.

By bus or tram [ edit ]

ZTM Metropolia run almost all buses and trams across the 40-some cities of Upper Silesian Metropolis, which straddles the Czech border. They have a unified ticket system.

( PKM Jaworzno [dead link] are an exception. They run blue and yellow buses on some 20 routes, including lines A, E and J from Aleja Korfantego. They have a completely different fare system; but you're unlikely to use them and they're not described further here.)

In 2024 tickets valid for 20 mins are 4.60 zł, 40 mins 5.60 zł, 90 minutes or for the full route 6.60 zł, and a 90 minute group ticket for up to 5 people is 13 zł. A one-day pass valid until midnight is 12 zł. Concessionary fares are 50% of the relevant normal fare. All these tickets are valid for unlimited transfers within the allotted time. You can also buy e-packages of 20, 40 or 80 tickets (which roughly halve the unit journey price but don't allow transfers), and 30-, 90- and 180-day e-passes.

You can buy tickets from kiosks, newsagents, shops, machines at the main stops, or at POP passenger service points: these are within Katowice railway station, at Pocztowa 10 near Rynek, and at the ZTM offices on Barbary 21a. The only ticket you can buy on boarding is the 90 minute 6.60 zł (or concessionary 3.30 zł) ticket from bus drivers, who don't give change (they don't yet have contactless payment), and are sometimes out of tickets.

You must validate your ticket immediately on boarding. Inspectors prowl, and an unvalidated ticket is as bad as no ticket at all. For outlying sights buy your return ticket along with your outbound in case you find no convenient ticket point or the machine is broken, and with trams you don't have the option of paying the driver.

By taxi [ edit ]

There are taxi ranks at the airport, north entrance of the railway station at 3 Maja, the bus station, main hotels and city transport nodes. Ask the price beforehand or the taxi driver will use his wildest imagination. Using an app such as Uber ensures an agreed price.

See [ edit ]

• 50.2594 19.0222 1 Rynek is the market place, pedestrianised but criss-crossed by trams. It's frankly drab, though the communist buildings are being replaced by modern structures. They've taken up the Kraków tradition of sounding the Hejnał at noon, a five-note bugle call, which in medieval times was the signal to open the city gates at dawn.
• Zachód Słońca - "Sunset" - is a neon installation on Rynek, a red globe low over the Rawa canal.

• 50.2606 19.0205 7 Former Municipal Bathhouse ( Budynek Łaźni Miejskiej ) was built in 1895. It closed in 1970 and is now municipal offices.
• Silesian Insurgents' Monument ( Pomnik Powstańców Śląskich ) is in the little park just south of Jerzego Ziętka Roundabout. Much of Silesia remained part of Germany even after World War I and Polish independence, but there were uprisings by ethnic Poles in 1919, 1920 and 1921 - the three wings symbolize these, and the battle sites are etched on the sides. But thus the map remained until World War II, when the German and Polish parts suffered equal horrors, and afterwards the entire region joined Poland.

Further out [ edit ]

• Kościuszko Park around the church was laid out in its present form in 1925. Multiple access points, open 24 hours. It's named for Andrzej Tadeusz Bonawentura Kościuszko (1746-1817) the dashing military commander.
• 50.2442 18.9901 14 Silesian Freedom and Solidarity Centre ( Śląskie Centrum Wolności i Solidarności ), Wincentego Pola 38 , ☏ +48 32 438 7966 . Tu Th 10:00-18:00, W F Sa 09:00-16:00 . Wujek is still an active coal mine, producing sub-bituminous coal. This was suitable for power stations as it contains little sulphur, but it emits disproportionate CO2 so its markets are shrivelling. The mine is best known as the scene of the "Pacification" of Dec 1981, when riot police shot dead nine miners striking against the imposition of martial law. In Sept 2009 an underground explosion killed over 20 miners. The museum depicts the labour uprisings of the 1980s, the nucleus of the Solidarity movement that eventually toppled communism in Poland. ( updated Apr 2024 )
• 50.2421 19.0815 19 Nikiszowiec is a city neighbourhood built 1908-12 to house workers of Giesche (later Wieczorek) coal mine, all in a distinct red-brick style. It has the neo-Baroque Church of St Mary, several galleries, a branch of the Museum of Katowice History, and a modern hotel.
• 50.2233 19.0667 20 Giszowiec was similarly built 1907-10 for the Giesche miners. Here the idea was a self-contained "Garden City" so the housing resembled chalets. But more housing was built for later generations of miners, the unity of style was lost, and there are now the same slabby high-rise flats as in other dreary suburbs.

U.S. Embassy chef cooked her way from Michigan to Moscow

Michelle Michalenko: "Beyond the traffic madness, Moscow is an amazing city to live in and explore." Source: Personal archive

U.S. Embassy chef Michelle Michalenko gave RBTH tips on sourcing the best ingredients in Moscow, being a vegetarian in Russia, and the top American foods Russians should know.

RBTH: How long have you lived in Moscow? Where in the U.S. did you grow up?

Michelle Michalenko: I've been in Moscow eight years as of January 2014.  

I was born in Florida and soon after moved to Kentucky. Then Michigan, California, Texas, Ohio, Chicago and then Moscow. Moving often, for my father's job, seemed normal and always involved new adventures.  

I'm fortunate to have lived in so many interesting places and experienced their food and cultures. Summers involved road trips back to Michigan to see my grandparents and cousins. And pick blueberries!

RBTH: How did you get your position as the embassy chef?

M.M.: My previous DCM [deputy chief of mission] saw an ad in The Moscow Times. It was my Moscow dream job. Considering the strong competition, I was fortunate to apply  the next day, interview several times, and was then asked to begin work within days. 

RBTH: Do you have some Russian heritage? Which is the origin of your surname?

Moscow’s D.C. embassy chef gives local food a Russian accent

M.M.: My last name is Ukrainian from Dedushka [grandfather] Michalenko who was born on the way to the U.S. in 1900 and grew up in South Dakota. I have very little information on where his parents came from.

RBTH: Describe your typical work day.

M.M.: If there isn’t a luncheon event, I review my day, check on paperwork and emails, organize staff priorities and update the event calendar. If there is a lunch, I go directly into the kitchen. Afternoons are spent preparing for events, recipe testing, or planning menus for upcoming events.

RBTH: Do you mostly prepare American dishes or do you also cook French, Italian and, for example, Russian meals?

M.M.: My training at Le Cordon Bleu was classical French cuisine. My love of travel and exploring new foods brought Asian, Indian, Moroccan, Italian, and now Russian into my repertoire. Formal dinners are planned around food preferences of the guests and what is in season with a focus on American dishes.  

RBTH: Where do you get your ingredients?

M.M.: Metro [German chain Metro Cash and Carry], Dorogomilovsky [a large local market], the embassy commissary, and other specialty stores. Hard-to-source ingredients for pastries are ordered from the U.S.

RBTH: I know you are vegetarian, is it hard for you to be vegetarian in Russia? Do you get questions from Russians about this lifestyle?

M.M.: Yes, I was raised a vegetarian, but by the time I was 15, I started eating everything. Today, I am a dedicated Omnivore.

Delicious Russia: Syrniki

Many friends and family prefer vegan or vegetarian menus which I love creating. For work events, I always offer a vegetarian option for guests.

Being a vegetarian is not complicated if you understand and follow the basic food guidelines while eating a balanced diet. Moscow has lots of food choices and more arrive often. Fresh Restaurant was a great addition for Moscow’s health conscious eaters.

RBTH: What’s your favorite Russian food?

M.M.: Blini, buckwheat with onions and mushrooms, Babushka's Olivier salad and Apple Sharlotka ,  pirozhki with cabbage or mushroom filling, syrinki , pelmeni, and fresh kvas.

RBTH: Do you hate dill as much as many foreigners in Russia do? Why do you think foreigners find it weird?

M.M.: Borrowing from Niki Segnit, dill is complex, demanding, and opinionated. I like dill best when it is used in balance with the main ingredient: mushrooms, potatoes, beef, beets, and fish. Dill has a strong sour and grassy flavor that isn't for everyone.

RBTH: Besides hamburgers, what other typically American foods should Russians know?

M.M.: Real Southern barbecue, corn bread (northern and southern varieties), shrimp gumbo, Tex-Mex, fish tacos, warm apple fritters with a cup of warm cider, clam chowder, lobster rolls, my version of macaroni and cheese and my brownies with Maker's Mark ice cream and salted caramel sauce, warm chocolate chip cookies, apple pie, an aged steak in Chicago, wine tastings at a Napa vineyard, wild Michigan huckleberries, breakfast at a dinner along highway 66, a Chicago deep-dish pizza at 2am, and Sunday lunch at Publican in Chicago. The list could continue if you have room….

RBTH: Do you go to American restaurants in Moscow? Which are your favorites?

M.M.: I explore food in Moscow. Not focused on one specific cuisine but follow what is new and interesting. [the website] The Village is full of ideas and I follow several Moscow foodies who Instagram their newest finds. My favorite restaurant is Delicatessen with Chef Ivan Shishkin. He feeds my food soul and I love the people who work there and make it special. If I'm craving American food, I invite friends over and cook. 

RBTH: Why do you think Russians like American chain restaurants so much? There is a certain boom in Moscow right now with the arrival of Shake Shack and Krispy Kreme, in addition to the established chains like McDonalds, Subway and Burger King.

M.M.: An interesting question and one that I ask my friends, even strangers! My working theory is that American chain restaurants are new, interesting, easily accessible, and fit even a student’s budget. Shake Shack has great customer service and consistent food quality plus root beer! Fast food isn't my thing and I don't eat it often.

RBTH: What do you like and dislike about Moscow?

M.M.: The traffic in Moscow is very frustrating. While I have a car, I avoid driving. Going to dacha is the exception and then I listen to audible books to pass the long hours in traffic. Babushka prefers country music when we’re stuck in traffic.  

Happiness is sharing dacha memories

Beyond the traffic madness, Moscow is an amazing city to live in and explore. Friends make weekend walk-abouts an interesting part of our together time. There are so many interesting facts to learn about the city and building.

RBTH: What do you do in your spare time?

M.M.: When it’s warm, I like to spend time at Babushka’s dacha sitting in the sun or working in the garden.

Walking with my dog, Mika. Exploring Moscow and the surrounding regions, cooking and researching new recipes, and travel when I can. 

RBTH: Have you traveled much in Russia? What are your favorite places?

M.M.: Yes, I have. In April 2011, I took the Trans-Siberian from Moscow to Lake Baikal and then Ulan-Ude with friends. We finished in Beijing traveling on the Trans-Mongolian.

Other weekend trips around the Moscow regions and St. Petersburg are perfect for when I have a long weekend off. When my sister still lived in Moscow, we spent weekends together and often explored outside of Moscow.

Every Chef I Talked to Loves This Tortilla Press

If you’ve ever had a made-from-scratch tortilla fresh off a comal, you understand: No premade grocery-store tortilla can possibly compare. Whether it’s a fragrant, slightly sweet corn tortilla or a still warm, slightly nutty flour tortilla, the difference between the homemade kind and the discs sitting in plastic on the shelf is so vast they may as well be totally separate food groups.

The most essential tool to making fresh tortillas at home is a good tortilla press. Sure, you can use a rolling pin or a wine bottle to flatten them out individually, but as I found out firsthand when I took up tortilla-making as a pandemic hobby, hand-rolling each of them gets old fast, particularly since I rarely made tortillas in batches of fewer than a dozen. Not only is a tortilla press much quicker at flattening the masa for tortillas into a pliable circular shape ready for griddling, it helps ensure that the thickness of your tortillas is consistent, which means that they’ll cook more evenly. Plus, you can use it to make other flatbreads at home, like roti, parathas, naan, or pita. I’ve even used mine to flatten pie dough.

A press is a pretty simple gadget. It’s essentially two flat plates attached with a hinge that allow you to put something in between them. You use a handle to press down on the contents inside, applying even pressure to flatten them. (Typically, you line the press with a plastic bag or parchment paper to prevent the tortilla dough from sticking, another lesson I learned the hard way.) When I started looking into tortilla presses, I learned that there are two major genres. The first is a circular press, usually made out of aluminum or cast iron. The second are square presses, usually also made of metal, though sometimes wood.

One square press stood out in my research: a jewel-colored, sleek, metal number that popped up repeatedly among the Mexican chefs I follow on social media. I noticed it in the Instagram Stories of Bricia Lopez , co-owner of Guelaguetza in Los Angeles and author of Asada , and in the kitchen behind Mi Cocina writer Rick Martinez in his videos of his kitchen in Mazatlán. When I reached out to Martinez to ask, he confirmed: It was the Doña Rosa Tortilla Press, an artisan-made press from Oaxaca distributed in the U.S. by the masa harina brand Masienda.

“I love this press so much,” Martinez told me. “I have two of them. It is so beautiful that it makes me want to make tortillas from scratch just so I can pull it out and use it.”

The press is made out of powder-coated rolled steel, which means that not only is it an appealing pop of color for your kitchen — it comes in a cobalt blue, a seafoam green, a bright, poppy yellow, white, and black — it also is a serious piece of equipment. The weight of the press, Martinez explained, is key. It means that it doesn’t wiggle back and forth while you use it. “I love the heft of it. It is virtually indestructible, and lasts forever, which is why a lot of restaurants and taco stands in Mexico use them,” Martinez said. (Plus, when Mi Cocina came out, the brand released an edition in pink to match the cover of the book.)

It’s not just Martinez, though. As I reached out to chefs for their thoughts on the best tortilla press, time and time again, I got the same answer: the Doña Rosa . Ana Castro, the New Orleans–based chef-owner of Acamaya, is also a huge fan. “They are the real deal; they are made in Mexico by Doña Rosa, she’s a master of her craft and has been producing them for longer than I have been alive,” Castro said. Plus, she appreciates that with the Doña Rosa , unlike the traditional circular cast-iron models, you can adjust the thickness of the tortilla that you’re serving. “This tortilla press is the last one you’ll ever buy,” Castro said.

It’s also the press that Chef Fermín Núñez uses in his masa-centric restaurants in Austin. “Masienda’s Doña Rosa Tortilla Press is what we use at both of our restaurants, Suerte and Este, to make fresh corn tortillas daily,” Nunez explained. “A good tortilla press should be high quality and have some weight to it. Masienda’s has both, which is exactly why we use theirs in the restaurants.”

When I got my hands on a Doña Rosa press to try it out, I had to agree. (I chose the seafoam-green one.) Though I am far from a master at making tortillas, the Doña Rosa tortilla press was a joy to use. It’s sturdy enough that I never worry about it slipping on the counter, and it quickly and evenly flattens masa into discs. The adjustable-thickness option makes it particularly versatile for use with other flatbreads, too. And it’s a pleasing object to have in my kitchen — always at the ready, reminding me that fresh tortillas aren’t that far away.
