What is on the street
It is a walkable lane of cafes, restaurants and shops set in historic buildings, popular because it is flat and easy to reach from the bridge.
- Cafes, restaurants and bars along the way
- Historic facades and balconies
- A level, pedestrian-friendly surface
- Immediate access to the Bridge of Peace
When to go
It is busiest in the evening, when the bridge lights bring people across. Mornings are calmer and better if you want a table or quiet photos.
Individual venues change hands, hours and prices. Treat any specific listing as a lead and confirm on the day.
Practical points
- Perfect first stop after crossing the bridge towards the Old Town.
- Use it as the gateway to the deeper lanes and the bath district.
- Expect more people after sunset and at weekends.
- Good for a break before or after the cable car loop.
