About Us

Welcome to Poland, welcome to Upper Silesia!
Welcome to Poland!
We warmly welcome you to Poland, the land of kings and Slavs, a country with a rich history, picturesque landscapes, and a unique culture. Poland is full of contrasts, from majestic mountains and tranquil lakes to wide sandy beaches, the sometimes turbulent Baltic Sea, and vibrant cities. We especially welcome you to Upper Silesia, a truly unique region full of tradition, industrial pride, and where Polish, German, and Czech influences intertwine.
Upper Silesia
This area is famous for heavy industry, particularly coal mining. Beneath the surface of Silesia lie deposits of “black gold,” which have shaped the economy, city architecture, and the character of its inhabitants for centuries. The Upper Silesian Coal Basin covers approximately 4,500 km², making it one of the largest coal mining areas in Europe. The region also features mining phenomena, such as road irregularities known as subsidence, occasional perceptible tremors, and distinctive industrial-style buildings.
Culture and tradition
Upper Silesia has a rich culture, its own language, unique customs, and a flavorful cuisine. Silesian cities form an industrial agglomeration, comprising around 40 developed urban centers, which together create the vibrant heart of the region. It is a place where tradition meets modernity, and industrial history coexists with the daily life of its residents, while simultaneously educating, inspiring, and inviting exploration.
Silesia and Beskids
Upper Silesia is not just about industry — in the southern part of the region lie the picturesque Beskid Mountains, full of hiking trails, forests, and stunning landscapes, providing the perfect place to relax and connect with nature. We hope that your stay here will allow you not only to participate in our celebration but also to experience the unique atmosphere, meet the people, and discover the culture and beauty of Upper Silesia.
Good to Know
When visiting Poland, it’s useful to be aware of a few basic rules and practical tips to ensure a comfortable and safe stay.
Currency and payments
The official currency is the Polish złoty (PLN). Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in most places.
1 EUR ≈ 4,2 PLN
1 CHF ≈ 4,5 PLN
Phone and internet
Poland has 4G coverage, and 5G is available in larger cities. Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels, restaurants, and cafés.
Tipping
It is customary to leave around 10% of the bill in restaurants if service was satisfactory, but it is not obligatory.
Highways
There is no need for a vignette; most highways are free to use except for certain private toll sections. In Upper Silesia, the Katowice–Kraków highway section costs 34 PLN, and payment by card is possible at toll booths.
Daytime headlights
Driving with daytime headlights on is mandatory at all times, regardless of the time of day or weather conditions.
Speed cameras and limits
Speed cameras are always marked with signs, but police may also monitor speed from hidden positions.
Transport
Public transport is well developed in cities, and taxis should be booked through apps or licensed providers.
Emergency numbers
The general emergency number 112 works throughout Poland and is also serviced in English.
Safety
Poland is a safe country, but it is always advisable to take standard precautions, especially in crowded areas.
