RUSSIAN TRADITION, UKRAINIAN PASSION : To all students who will decide to study at University of Economics in Katowice - and especially to my Taiwanese friend

I am a travelling geek, so I can tell, that you can go to every place in Europe from Katowice, literally – everywhere. During winter everyone should take the opportunity to visit Polish mountains: Zakopane – to feel the real atmosphere of Polish small, mountain city. Szczyrk – very close and convenient to go skiing. Actually there are too many places in Poland to introduce now, so… so far I’ll write something about “convenient travelling in Europe”.

So… take a chance and go abroad – FOR EXAMPLE you can buy a cheap bus tickets from Katowice to Vienna, and if you want to do the round trip – you can go first to Vienna (by PolskiBus) than from Vienna to Budapest and back to Vienna (by Orange Ways bus) than from Vienna to Prague (by Student Agency Bus) and for example from Prague to Berlin (also by Student Agency Bus). From Berlin you can also take PolskiBus for example to Poznań or Łódź and visit one of those cities – and then take a train back to Katowice. If you want to do the one day stop between Katowice and Vienna, you can get off in Bratislava – capital city of Slovakia. Bratislava is only one hour away from Vienna. So no worries, there is always a bus goes to Vienna – and one day of travelling in Bratislava is enough.

And remember to check Wizzair and Ryanair – cheap airlines. Both of those carriers fly from Katowice, and also Ryanair flies from Kraków.
