Bus

In the past I've often travelled to Poland by bus from the UK - prices approx. 130 pounds return (as at 2011) - a large Polish carrier is Sinbad with services from most UK cities,
I used them in 2011 and found them to be very good, below their website which is only in Polish :-

Take the tram ...

The best way to travel around Katowice is by tram. You can buy tickets from kiosks or there is a machine at the Rynek and remember to cancel your ticket in the machines on the tram. Inspectors in plain clothes ride the trams and frequently carry out inspections - a fine awaits you if you don't have a ticket or have one and haven't cancelled it.
