Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra building

Overview

This concert hall is the home venue of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and a central feature of Katowice's Culture Zone. Travelers visit to attend classical music concerts or view the contemporary brick architecture and surrounding public grounds.

Getting There

Located northeast of the city centre, the hall is roughly 0.7 km from Market Square, taking about 10 minutes on foot. Local buses and trams also stop near the Culture Zone.

Time to Allow

Allow 2 to 3 hours for a concert performance. If you are only viewing the exterior and walking through the plaza, plan for 30 to 45 minutes.

When to Go

Concerts take place mainly in the evening from autumn to spring. The venue and surrounding area get crowded right before and after events. Daytime visits are much quieter if you only want to see the building from outside.
