Nowy Świat Street

Running from the junction of ul. Świętokrzyska and ul. Krakowskie Przedmieście to Al Jerozolimskie, ul. Nowy Świat, or New World St., is city's fashionable shopping street.

It comprises part of the Royal Route (Trakt królewski) that runs from Warsaw's Royal Castle and Old Town, south to King Jan III Sobieski's 17th-century royal residence at Wilanów.

It's long been the city's fashionable shopping street, and is lined with restaurants, shops and cafés. Most of the buildings date from post-WWII, but the restoration here was so complete that the predominant architecture style is 19th-century neoclassical.
