Krakowskie Przedmiescie is the main shopping thoroughfare in central Warsaw. There are some interesting stores to wander through (we enjoyed Hot Sox and several of the bookstores) as well as cafes. The street is generally only open to bus and taxi traffic making it easier to navigate. Do explore some of the side streets.

Krakowskie Przedmieście was established in the 15th century and is one of the best known and most prestigious streets of Warsaw, surrounded by historic palaces, churches and manor-houses. This pleasant Avenue constitutes the northernmost part of Warsaw's Royal Route and is well worth a walk from taking in many famous landmarks along the way... Including the Church of the Holy Cross, the Presidential Palace and various monuments.

The old "Royal Road" stretching about 5 kilometers, from the Royal Palace in Old Town to Wilanow Palace. Lined with impressive palaces, monuments, and ornate churches. A great place to walk to soak up the best of Warsaw's culture, art and history.
