One of the most popular streets in Warsaw for shopping, eating out and enjoying a few drinks is Ulica Nowy Świat (Polish for "New World Street") which forms part of the Royal Route running from the Royal Castle and Old Town to King Jan III Sobieski's 17th-century royal residence at Wilanów.
Nowy Świat is about 1 mile long and runs from Triple Cross Square (Plac Trzech Krzyży) northwards and intersects another two popular streets, Jerusalem Avenue (Aleje Jerozolimskie) and Holy Cross Street ( ulica Świętokrzyska).
The buildings lining the street are mostly in the art nouveau style now but once were neoclassical buildings. Initially, this was the street where the nobility of Warsaw first built their manors and palaces.
Nowy Świat is very popular with tourists and locals for recreation and shopping and has many good restaurants, bars and shops for you to enjoy. A terrific place to sit down and watch the world go by.
