This remarkable street attracts many visitors and is part of the Royal Route, a suggested tour path from the Royal Castle to another royal domain at Wilanów, King Jan III Sobieski's palace. Nowy Świat extends north to the Old Town, intersecting with many attractive streets leading to the Warsaw University Campus and the Nicolaus Copernicus monument. Southbound, Nowy Swiat changes into the sophisticated Ujazdów Avenue and straight on ending at the Wilanów Palace.

Powązki Cemetery

Powązki Cemetery, also known as Stare Powązki, is a necropolis (name has its origin in the Ancient Greek word νεκρόπολις nekropolis, meaning "city of the dead"). It is a complex of cemeteries with graves consisting of Roman Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews and of Orthodox religion. Notable people, slain soldiers and civilians from the Warsaw Uprising, WWII, Battle of Warsaw, September Campaign and Invasion of Poland are resting here. Many mausoleums and graves have sculptures handcrafted by artists and masters of the 19th and 20th Centuries. A slightly spooky and surreal experience for tourists who visit the site. There are over 60,000 graves in the area.
