Like the Rynek, the streets of the Stare Miasto still follow the medieval plan, while their architecture presents a rich central European ensemble of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque. They are a hive of commercial activity, too, with a welter of boutiques, fast-food joints and other privately owned shops that render the old state enterprise outlets almost a figment of past imagination. West of the Rynek, the atmosphere is generated by the academic buildings and student haunts of the university district . South of the main square, the busy ul. Grodzka leads down towards plac Dominikanski , one of the pivotal points of the Stare Miasto, and on to Wawel Hill. The historic streets combine the increasingly fast-paced bustle of the city's commercial life with the tranquillity and splendour of myriad ancient churches, palaces and mansions. Additionally, there's a brace of museums worth exploring.
