It is one of the longest commercial streets in Europe and one of the major attractions in the city. It runs in a straight line from the Liberty Square (Plac Wolności) to the Independence Square (Plac Niepodległości). Many pubs, bars, restaurants, and attractions are on this street. Although the cross streets have motor vehicles Piotrkowska Street itself has none so one has about 5 kms of fairly carefree strolling.
