Travel / Information on Gliwice needed [41]

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for any and all information on everyday life in Gliwice - basic things like where the supermarkets are, bus route maps, etc.

I'm also wondering if there a Gliwice guide in English that I can pick up from Hotels/Tourist Information.

What is Gliwice like to live in? Would be grateful for any information on life in the city centre: recommendations for restaurants, bars, things to do.

Thanks in advance!

Travel / Information on Gliwice needed [41]

Thanks Seanus - I will be the tourist, and my boyfriend will be living there for work for 2 months. (marginally different to a tourist?) He'll be staying on Nowy Świat, not too far from the Cathedral. I suppose on his first night there he'll need to buy some basics for his apartment - it'd be great if you could point out a nearby supermarket.

I'm looking forward to lots of weekend visits, so it'd be good to get some recommendations for nice bars and restaurants to check out, some live music venues, markets, coffee shops.

Is the rynek still nice/open at the moment or is it all a bit torn up?

Thanks Seanus - The Żabka will be really handy on his first night. Can't find the Biedronka on Google Maps exactly, but I'm guessing it might be this from your description: tinyurl/2u4garw

As for restaurants we're both pretty open to new foods. We like pretty much everything - French, Italian, Mexican. I don't know if I'll be the greatest fan of bread and animal fat, but I'll probably try everything once. A good steakhouse would probably go into heavy rotation for him on nights that he doesn't want to cook.

Thanks again

Thanks Seanus - sounds like there are plenty of good options for eating and drinking. Some more questions:
Are there any parts of town to avoid?
Is there public transport to Arena?
Is there some sort of open air market in the filled in canal?

Thanks KLove, think he'll have to pass close by the Qubus every day to catch the train - that Biedronka will come in useful. Like you say - once he's/we're there we'll find out most things just by walking around. Still, Gliwice has been the hardest place so to find information on that I've travelled to so far. So thanks everyone for being so helpful - it's great to get some information before we go.

Travel / Here in Gliwice, my visit so far has been great [3]

Hi everyone - I'm here in Gliwice for my first weekend visit, my boyfriend has been here for a week. Last night we had dinner on the Rynek in Dominos(?) which was good, and lunch today in Arigato the Japanese restaurant which was excellent. Plus some really great coffee and cakes on Zwyciestwa, and a little wander around the covered markets and the Forum. I think Gliwice is a great little city so far. Thanks so much to everyone for all of their advice - as you say it's simple to find everything once you are here.
