[[Katowice International Airport]] (in [[Tarnowskie Góry County]]) is used for domestic and international flights, with the other nearby airports being [[John Paul II International Airport Kraków-Balice]]. The Silesian agglomeration railway network has the largest concentration in the country. 

The voivodship capital enjoys good railway and road connections with [[Gdańsk]] ([[A1 autostrada (Poland)|motorway A1]]) and [[Ostrava]] (motorway A1), [[Kraków]] ([[Autostrada A4 (Poland)|motorway A4]]), [[Wrocław]] (motorway A4), [[Łódź]] (motorway A1) and [[Warsaw]]. It is also the crossing point for many international routes like [[European route E40|E40]] connecting [[Calais]], [[Brussels]], [[Cologne]], [[Dresden]], [[Wrocław]], [[Kraków]] and [[Kyiv]] and [[European route E75|E75]] from [[Scandinavia]] to the [[Balkans]]. A relatively short distance to [[Vienna]] facilitates cross-border co-operation and may positively influence the process of European integration.

[[Broad Gauge Metallurgy Line|Linia Hutnicza Szerokotorowa]] (known by its acronym ''LHS'', English: ''Broad gauge metallurgy line'') in [[Sławków]] is the longest [[broad gauge]] [[Rail tracks|railway line]] in Poland. The line runs on a single track for almost 400&nbsp;km from the Polish-[[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] border, crossing it just east of [[Hrubieszów]]. It is the westernmost broad-gauge railway line in Europe that is connected to the broad-gauge rail system of the countries of the former Soviet Union.

A large part of the Upper Silesia conurbation features the [[Silesian Interurbans]], the longest tram network in Poland, and one of the largest in the world. Bus and tram transport in and around Katowice and surrounding cities has been managed by the Metropolitan Transport Authority (ZTM) since 2019.
