Katowice in the sunny day in November
4th November 2015
November is very friendly here.Temperature is about 15 C during the day and sunny. I was in Katowice about 1p.m. so most people were working or studying at school. So the city wasn't crowded so much.
Market Square
Trams run very often so public transport is well-organised.
I love red trams
Silesian Theatre
The street near the city centre.
Renovated house from 19th century. Now looks fantastic..
At I.00 pm in Katowice Square on a fine sunny day and it is almost empty as most of the other streets as shown are. With an urban population of over 2.7 million and the whole metroplis region being over 5.2 million, this to see is incredible. Where are the tourists???? People who have come into the city from the countryside???? Even the locals - everyone can't be at work?? Brisbane CBD at this time of day - a smaller in population city than Katowice has people walking around all the time. Tourists, Backpackers, country people and the locals. Cheers Colin ( Brisbane. Australia)
Colin Firstly in the city centre there are only banks , offices and restaurants. So a lot of people are in the shopping malls which are situated far from centre. Secondly autumn where temperature are low and days short is not season for tourists. Krakow is crowded aklways but not Upper Silesia
Some great photos from your part of the world.
