An alternative guide to Katowice

Silesian Stadium (Stadion Śląski) in Chorzów.
It has the status of a National Stadium. It was here that the Polish national football team beat England in 1973. The only time ever! Since then, the stadium has been referred to as the “Cauldron of Witches.” This nickname was given by English journalists who were impressed by the venue. The legendary stadium, freshly renovated, is located in one of the biggest in-city parks of Europe, larger than, for instance, New York’s Central Park. This is Silesian Park, which you can walk through or ride in a cable car called Elka.
