Where to stay in Rokitnica
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Zabrze holds the hotel desks. Rokitnica itself is housing, the Ballestrem Housing Estate being the set of addresses it is best known for, so a stay in the district means a flat rather than a lobby, with the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church the usual point of reference. Szafarczyka Street carries a listed address of its own.
