About this tour
This evening session looks at Mariacka Street once the bars and live music clubs fill up. You see the street itself as the crowd arrives, then a club entrance with a band setting up inside. It is a look at the nightlife side of a city better known for its daytime coal and culture history.
We start on the street with a short sound check, then move to the club entrance once things start picking up. I explain the connection to the city's UNESCO music status as we go and take questions throughout. A short list of venues follows by message afterwards.
It suits anyone wanting a livelier evening session rather than a history-focused one. It also pairs well with the rolada session earlier in the day.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Wodzionka and Nikiszowiec, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Sessions run in small groups, up to 8 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Katowice, showing you Mariacka Street at night and A live music club entrance live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
