Nowy Swiat Street. Literal meaning -- New World Street. Prior to World War II the street was one of the most elegant streets in Warsaw with many upscale stores and cafes. Today this atmosphere is being recreated. The street was recently given a major face-lift, the buildings all along the street were renovated, the streets were made narrower, and the through-traffic has been greatly restricted. In addition, Nowy Swiat Street is dotted with turn-of-the-century street lights, which resemble the pre-war fixtures. Whether you like Dior or Gucci, you will find it here.
