The drive from Katowice-Pyrzowice Airport to Galeria Katowicka covers about 35 km and usually takes 35-50 minutes. The route follows the A1 motorway southbound, then the DTŚ urban expressway and the approach from ul. 3 Maja or the railway-station side. In the afternoon hours traffic builds up around the gallery and Plac Wilhelma Szewczyka, as gallery shoppers, rail passengers and suburban buses arrive simultaneously.
After landing, your chauffeur meets you in arrivals with a name board, assists with luggage and drives directly to the agreed drop-off. The gallery has 2,300 parking spaces, and the entrance from the railway-station side allows a direct walk from platform level to the retail area. For international guests planning shopping before continuing by rail or for delegations combining shopping with a business programme, the drop-off is aligned with the car-park entrance or with the curb zone in front of the main entrance from ul. 3 Maja, according to the current traffic plan.
We also handle pickups after Cinema City premieres, fashion shows and marketing campaigns by premium brands, when traffic around Galeria Katowicka and Plac Wilhelma Szewczyka is at its densest. The meeting point is agreed in advance and the departure time is set realistically against the close of the programme. A transfer to Galeria Katowicka suits premium guests combining shopping with a wider programme in Katowice, corporate delegations taking advantage of the proximity of the railway station and international guests treating the gallery as a starting point for exploring the city centre.
