The Silesian Stadium and Silesian Park

The region's largest concerts happen at the Silesian Stadium, and next to it is Silesian Park with Legendia and the zoo. After a big concert tens of thousands of people leave the park at once, and for several hours the traffic is unlike anything a city this size sees on an ordinary day. The season is June, July and August.

Chorzów Batory

Chorzów Batory is a significant rail junction. When the trains fall apart — and they do so regularly — people who have just lost their connection to Katowice move to the apps within minutes. It is one of the few places where a sudden spike in jobs can be seen coming.
