Hi all! I'll be arriving in Katowice on a Ryanair flight at 8pm on the 16th September.
I've been searching for airport transfers to Krakow, and carpolonia.pl / http://www.wizz-bus.com seem to be the cheapest! Has anyone used them before? Is it possible for me to book with the WizzAir bus company - despite not flying with them?
Thanks for any info!
There is no indication on the Whizz-bus terms of use (in English) that you should fly with Whizzair:

But when you start the booking process you do have to put in a flight number.
I suggest you put in your flight number and see what happens.
overall be vigilant, there is plenty of shopping to do, there are lots of churches to see other than that there is not much else. this really is not a tourist place, it is an industrial working city, not very clean, walking around did make me feel uncomfortable, i found people stared as they knew you were a foreigner and the homeless people do target you. i can honestly say i am glad i have been but would not go back again to katowice would go somewhere which is more for the tourist

This is one of the venues where the Polish football team play their home matches. The venue is chosen for it's hostile and intimidating atmosphere. It is also an open-air stadium so trips here in winter, are not something you look forward to. Once there you are surrounded by hostile fans (48,000 when full), riot police and water cannon. It is onky 5km from Katowice and when I went there, free buses were provided from the centre - the trip was not a pleasant experience. Full body armour wouldn't be a bad idea
Kindergaten is situated at Pod Lipami Square. It used to be foresters' house. This is the biggest building of the old part of Giszowiec. In 1929 Silesian - American Corporation bought more than 50% of proprity of the coal mine Giesche, the director of the mine moved to the building. It is the kindergaten incessantly from 1960 with about 75 children.
Giszowiec has a unique architecture. The settlement for about 5 thousand people was founded in a forest which was bought by the Giesche Company for the price of 30 million German marks. Soon after founding the settlement people used to dream about living here. Giszowiec got the name of the settlement - garden!
