Patients from across the country

The Silesian Centre for Heart Diseases on ul. Curie-Skłodowskiej takes patients from outside the region. That means some of your rides start at the station or the airport and end at the hospital — longer and calmer than city work.

Match day on Roosevelta

The Ernest Pohl Stadium sits in the middle of town. After a Górnik match the crowd does not trickle out — everything leaves at once, and away fans head for the station alongside the locals. Add two interchange hubs: Goethego and Rokitnica.
