Nowomiejska Street, Medieval street in Śródmieście district, Warsaw, Poland.
Nowomiejska Street is a medieval thoroughfare in central Warsaw that follows the original street pattern of the district. It is lined with residential and commercial buildings, many with historical cellars beneath them that can still be seen in places.
The street originated during the medieval period as part of the city's layout and has maintained its original direction for centuries. After Warsaw's destruction in World War Two, it was carefully rebuilt to restore its medieval street pattern and architectural character.

The street is well served by tram lines and bus stops connecting it to different parts of the city. Walking along it is possible at any time since it is a public street with open access throughout the day.
Below street level lie preserved Gothic foundations and restored cellars that hint at the work of archaeologists and restoration experts. This hidden layer reveals how the same ground has been occupied and rebuilt repeatedly over centuries.
