Get in

Getting to Gliwice

Katowice Airport (KTW IATA) is usually the most convenient, with budget flights across Europe. Bus M14 runs hourly direct from the airport to Gliwice, otherwise take the bus into Katowice and change. Kraków John Paul II Airport (KRK IATA) has more flights but involves a longer transfer, changing in Kraków city centre and Katowice. Trains from Katowice run every 20 minutes and take 30 min via Chorzów and Zabrze.
