Piotrkowska Street


Piotrkowska at night


the Piotrkowska Street is the main street of Lodz and the symbol of an era of prosperity. The street was built as the axis of the city. it is said to be the longest commerce street in the whole Europe.



during the german occupation at WWII it had its name changed to Adolf Hitler Straße, got into decadence after the war until the 90's when it's been renovated. they are still renovating it.



yet today, though other interesting places, Piotrkowska Street is still the more frequent.
on Piotrkowska Street you have the old and the new city, the decadence and the richness, the cheap business and sophisticate restaurants. the street gets wealthier as it goes on the Freedom Square direction.
Piotrkowska gives Lodz a modern feature, being itself the city center.
