Probably biggest pro of Katowice is cheap and big airport. Think of most boring city you've been to, Katowice itself is even more boring. I don't know how this place made it to nomadlist. However there are nice cities around which seem nice destinations for nomads like Gliwice, Bielsko-Biała, Pszczyna, Żywiec. Moreover coworking space listed here on nomadlist - Wirtualne Biuro is not a coworking space at all. As you can read on it's website (adding URL blocked in review unfortunately)
"This is not a drop-in scenario for the homeless digital wanderer looking for somewhere to stash the laptop and the rear end to do some work, but it is the place to make a virtual office with a prestigious address in the city heart of Katowice to impress those you may want to dazzle".
Locals seldomly get what being digital nomad is about.

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
