Hlavná Street
Hlavná Street makes central Košice unusually easy to understand on foot. The cathedral, theatre, historic façades and public spaces unfold along one broad north–south route.
Allow time to leave the main axis for side streets and courtyards rather than treating it as a single straight walk. Morning is calmer for architecture; the evening brings a more social atmosphere.
