There are hotels, restaurants, clubs, pubs, museums and various institutions. One of the more interesti ng is the tenement house No. 19. The fragments of brick-stone walls and Gothic arches and lintels discovered in the basement that can be seen in the Underground Tourist Route, date back to the beginning of the 15th and 16th centuries.
