Chmielna Street

Chmielna Street stretches across two sections of Warsaw, featuring a central pedestrian area filled with shops, restaurants, and historic tenement buildings.

The street originated in the seventeenth century as Chmielnik Road, named after the hop cultivation fields that previously occupied the surrounding land.

The street maintains numerous architectural elements from different periods, including the Atlantic Cinema building and various historic tenements that represent Warsaw's development.

Visitors can access the street from Marszałkowska Street or Nowy Świat, with the pedestrian section offering multiple shopping and dining establishments.

The street functions as a connector between major Warsaw thoroughfares while preserving architectural elements from its century-long existence in the city center.
