Emilii Plater Street, often called just Emilka, is a busy street in a very centre of Warsaw. Until 2000s it looked really awful, ruined sidewalks, street that looked like the moon’s surface, disordered parking places and bus stops spread along the whole street. Finally, it changed in 2010, when the street has been completely modernised. Actually, we can complain about some things - that no underground car park was built, that the street is still too wide, that separate bike roads could be better than bike lanes etc. But for sure, it is much better than it used to be.
An original composition appeared in the middle of the street, the idea was to make it look like a DNA. But actually we can see it only when we look from upstairs, for example from the observation deck of Palace of Culture.
Pedestrian crossings look also very unusual here. The street was modernised during the Year of Chopin - this is why the crossings look like a piano keyboards. There was a question if such crossing is actually legal, so the problem was solved by putting some road signs saying “Danger ! Experimental horizontal road sings !”
The skyscrapers are for sure what we mainly notice around the street. Along a few hundred metres we can see seven of them: on the eastern side famous Palace of Culture, and on the western side, the skyscrapers of so-called Western Warsaw Centre. Looking from the south they are: Marriott Hotel, Skylight - one of the buildings of Golden Terraces complex, the apartment house of Zlota 44, designed by Daniel Libeskind, Intercontinental Hotel, with an unusual “leg” holding up one of the building’s corners, Warsaw Financial Centre, and on the end of the street, at the intersection with Twarda street, another apartment house - Cosmopolitan, designed by Helmut Jahn.
Also neighbouring Świętokrzyski Park is a place worth visiting - it is a nice place of green just in the middle of the centre.
