About this route

Route overview

The KTW -> VIE inter-airport route links Upper Silesia with the Austrian Airlines hub and its long-haul continuations: a Pyrzowice to Vienna flight is often unavailable or poorly timed, so a road transfer becomes the faster option for passengers catching United Newark, American JFK, ANA Tokyo, Air China, Qatar Doha or Emirates Dubai out of VIE. 380 km via the A1 from Pyrzowice to the Cieszyn border (Schengen — PL/CZ border with no checks), the Czech D2 to Brno, D1 to Bratislava, the Austrian A6 to Schwechat, 4 h - 4 h 30 min off-peak. Bottlenecks are the Cieszyn border bridge on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings (up to 30 min added), the Vienna outskirts during the 7-9 and 16-19 peaks (up to 20 min) and the Bratislava ring. We recommend a 4 hour buffer for long-haul out of VIE and 3 hours for European Austrian Airlines flights. The service operates 24/7. Mercedes E-Class from EUR 1,850 for 1-3 passengers, V-Class from EUR 2,250 for 4-6 with luggage. The route is popular for Austrian Airlines passengers and southern EU multi-stop trips.

Katowice to Tarnowskie Gory (UNESCO Silver Mine)

Tarnowskie Gory was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2017 for its "Lead-Silver-Zinc Mine with Underground Water Management System" — the most renowned ore mining complex of Central Europe with a 1000-year mining tradition reaching back to the 12th century. The Historic Silver Mine (Adolf-Stollen) opens 1740 m of underground corridors at a depth of 40 m — visited on foot and by boat along an underground canal, with original 16th-19th century workings, steam machines and mineral collections. The Black Trout Adit 1.5 km away — the longest publicly accessible underground water route in Poland (600 m by boat between the Ewa and Sylwester shafts). The Church of St Peter and Paul from 1530 (Silesian Gothic), the historic Market Square with Baroque townhouses and Krakowska Street. 35 km via the A1 motorway to the Tarnowskie Gory junction, 45 min - 1 h off-peak.

Katowice Pyrzowice Airport (KTW) -> Poznan Lawica Airport (POZ)

The KTW -> POZ inter-airport route links Upper Silesia with the Lufthansa, Wizz Air and Ryanair hub in Greater Poland: a Pyrzowice arrival with Wizz Air or Ryanair and a Poznan continuation with Lufthansa to Frankfurt for an onward long-haul leg. 360 km via the A1 to Lodz, then A2 to Poznan, 4 h - 4 h 30 min off-peak. Pyrzowice sits right at the A1, so the route starts on motorway immediately. Bottlenecks are the A2 around Lodz (the Strykow junction, heavy freight traffic) and the A2 around Wrzesnia — during the 7-9 and 16-19 peaks they add 30-45 min, on Friday afternoons and during the Poznan International Fair (MTP — June, November) up to 90 min. The service operates 24/7, so we also handle early Lawica departures after an overnight KTW arrival. We recommend a 4 hour buffer for European departures out of POZ and 5 hours for long-haul via Frankfurt. The chauffeur pulls up at the KTW terminal with a name board and delivers you to the Lawica terminal. Mercedes E-Class from EUR 1,550 for 1-3 passengers, V-Class from EUR 1,850 for 4-6 with luggage.

Katowice to Koszecin (Slask Ensemble, Donnersmarck Palace)

Koszecin is a village near Lubliniec that has hosted, since 1953, the Stanislaw Hadyna Slask Song and Dance Ensemble — one of the most renowned folklore ensembles in Poland and an ambassador of Silesian and Polish culture worldwide (performances in 50+ countries, 8500+ concerts). The Ensemble is based in the Donnersmarck Palace — a Baroque-Classicist 18th-19th century residence that once belonged to the Silesian aristocratic Henckel von Donnersmarck family (one of the wealthiest families of 19th-century Europe, owners of Upper Silesian mines and ironworks). The palace is surrounded by a 60-hectare listed landscape park with an arboretum, ponds, alleys and natural monuments. Inside the palace are rehearsal halls, an archive of costumes and regional instruments, a restaurant and the Ensemble's concert hall. Once a month (September-June season) gala concerts of the Slask Ensemble open to the public — songs and dances of Polish regions, ethnographic costumes and choreography rooted in folklore research. 50 km via the DK11 road through Pyskowice to Koszecin, 1 h - 1 h 15 min off-peak. The service runs 24/7. A standard plan: 16:00 hotel pickup in Katowice, 17:30 lunch at the palace restaurant, 19:00 Slask Ensemble concert (1 h 45 min with an interval), 21:30 return to Katowice.
