How to travel from NANTES to KATOWICE?

NANTES

Nantes is a city of more than 300,000 people in the western part of France with a history dating back more than 2,000 years. It is home to a major river port on the Loire River. The city is also known as one of the greenest urban centers in France, and is also famous for its art, both that displayed in museums and in public spaces. Worth a visit here is the Museum of Art, with collections of paintings starting from the 13th century, as well as the Museum of Natural History, whose main attraction is an 18-meter whale skeleton and a vivarium with counted species of reptiles. Also awaiting tourists is the Castle of the Dukes of Brittany with exhibitions on the history of the city and the Brittany region. It is worth knowing that Jules Verne was born in Nantes. In his honor, an unusual machine park was built here, where you can, among other things, ride a huge, walking mechanical elephant.

Commuting to Nantes - bus, train and plane

Nantes has ring roads and is close to important highways leading to Paris and Bordeaux, among others. Nantes airport is 8 kilometers from the city center. However, we will not reach it by direct flights from Poland. A better option to reach the former capital of Brittany is a flight to Paris combined with a TGV train trip or a direct bus ride from Poland to Nantes. Sindbad buses stop at the SNCF Sud train station, near the Mercure hotel. From there, the city's most important sights can be reached by covering a distance of just over a kilometer.

KATOWICE

Transportation to and from Katowice for the 21st century

Katowice aspires to be the capital of a modern metropolis, whose directions of development are determined by services, creative industry, great events and modern technologies. Such ambitious goals entail the need to prepare transportation solutions that enable smooth movement of people who want to live, work, study or spend the weekend in Katowice. You can get around the city by streetcar or bus. One type of ticket is valid for all metropolitan modes of transportation. Two points are considered the transfer center for intercity connections: the bus station on Sądowa Street and the train station. Both places are connected by city bus lines. From the bus station, which has been operating in this form and new location for a short time, coaches set off for various cities in Poland and on the Old Continent. The thesis that the bus connects Katowice with practically all of Europe is therefore not exaggerated. The best proof of it is the network of Sindbad connections. Our buses from Katowice depart in many directions, including Austria, Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Italy or Ukraine. All transfers are provided by modern vehicles, guaranteeing comfortable and safe travel even on distant routes. There are also city buses departing from the coach station on Sądowa Street, which run to Pyrzowice Airport, from where you can also fly beyond the ends of Europe.

Katowice, the capital of the Silesian Voivodeship, is one of the main cities of the Upper Silesian Industrial District, so it is mainly famous for its mining industry. Although some people associate Katowice primarily with the place of coal mining, the city has much more to offer.
