Katowice is far from being a typical tourist destination, and the city tries to combat this powerful stereotype. Most of the city visitors are likely to arrive there on business, but at the same time they may enjoy many interesting elements of modern architecture. Katowice lies in a predominantly industrial and mining area – arguably even more so than the Midlands, the Ruhrgebiet or the Lille region in France. Despite a remarkable reduction in coal mining Katowice remains the leading commercial and academic centre of Silesia.
