This touristy street linking gate and main square is named after Florian, patron of firemen. Fire used to be an existential threat to medieval cities as most buildings were made of wood. Florian, who served in the Roman army around 300 AD was responsible for a special unit of military firefighters. The poor man converted to Christianity and as a result was put to death by drowning, as nobody dared to light the pyre on which he was initially placed to be burned.
Beware of the money changers in the respectable looking offices called 'kantor'. They mislead their customers by only prominently displaying rates for selling euros or dollars, though it are the tourists who are selling euros and buying zloty which is a different much less favorable rate than advertized. Rates in Kazimierz are better.

It stretches from Florianska Gate (St. Florian´s Gate) to Rynek Główny. The street is very much where the action is. Lots of things going on from day to night. Florianska street (or in Polish: Ulika Floriańska) has restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs, pubs, hotels and shops and of course, tourists.

This 335-meter-long street runs from the northeastern corner of the Main Square to St. Florian's Gate. The name comes from St. Florian's Gate.
The street is lined by beautiful buildings. It is part of the Royal Route in Krakow. The street is filled with shops, cafes, and restaurants.

One of the main roads of the Old Town that leads to the Square (depending on the direction you are going in). Busy! So many people. Lined with restaurants, shops, souvenirs and candy! Definitely worth a walk whilst exploring the Old Town. I took a walk, stopped for a coffee and then continued to sightsee.

I want to warn You people about KANTOR EXCHANGE in Mikolajska 11 1u. What is offered on the sign is not what You get. I didn't realise at the moment that they gave me 157,5 zloty for 50 EUR. The day before in another exchange office I got 440 zloty for 100 EUR. FRAUD, FRAUD, FRAUD.

I had the worst experience with this Cantor Kamil Kolodziejczyk on Florianska St. 30, The exchange for the Dollar to Zloty for the day on Jun. 7, 2018 was 3.61 Zloty for one Dollar. I received from Kamil that day 2.45 zloty per Dollar. I give to him $200.00 for exchange received 490 zloty, what a rip-off. I point this out to him I don't want this type and low exchange. I didn't walk away from the window yet before exchange was done, he would not take any money back. He was not polite person at all.

The worst experience ever visiting INTERCHANGE group exchange/ kantor place. They have placed misleading information on the board and lowered the rate for almost 30% to the real one! When you read the board it’s switched around so if you are not local it can mislead you!
After not so pleasant conversation I have manage to get my money back but I have informed them that they steel money from hard working people with their how they told me “rules” and “game they play”.
Yes, you do play a game! Very bad one, steeling money 💰
Horrible ! Avoid avoid
And always triple check your rate in case other place decides to play a ‘game’ with you.... cause apparently they can ?!
And as I have been told I was not the first one today! That definitely means something..... CHEATER!

...at the exchange shops. They will do their best to cheat and steal you, and when I say steal I mean steal. The normal exchange rate is 1 euro/4.1 PLN and they advertise a big number on the front around 4.2. But if you read carefully it says that they sell euro for 4.2 PLN. Nobody there wants to by euro, right? The tourists want PLN. So the shops want to seduce you inside and sell you PLN with a rate around 1 euro/3.1 PLN!!!, or with a discount of more than 20% than the normal.

Have just seen the other reviews on this place & wish we had before visiting. They were advertising rate 5.17zl for £ but when we handed over £100 we were only given 355 zl - we argued & argued & pointed to the boards advertising the rate & the girl refused to change back our money. We were disgusted. She said if we wanted to complain, we had to go to the police.
SO TO ANYONE IN THE AREA- DO NOT VISIT THIS PLACE. THEY ARE CHEATS.
