Krakowskie Przedmieście

There is one street in Warsaw where every building and every monument has its own story. Sometimes funny, sometimes tragic, but always extremely interesting. It is here, on Krakowskie Przedmieście, a street just 1000 meters long, that you will find the Presidential Palace, Warsaw's most luxurious hotels — the Bristol and the Europejski — the University of Warsaw, as well as numerous churches, including the one that holds the heart of the outstanding composer Frédéric Chopin. A stroll along Krakowskie Przedmieście is one of the main highlights of a trip to Warsaw. Here you will find the extremely photogenic Hotel Europejski, the Holy Cross Basilica, a truly beautiful church, or the Czapski Palace, which now functions as the Academy of Fine Arts. Krakowskie Przedmieście is the place where the Presidential Palace and the monument to Adam Mickiewicz are located.
