The city of Katowice
Upper Silesia is the name of the region. Katowice is the capital. If I were you, I would look for some additional value of staying with us over the Summer School. Just to say, Katowice is the UNESCO city of music... have a look here
The vibrant city lives all the time with lots of activities. Have a look here.
