  1. It really depends, Grafton Street in Dublin seemed to be a more touristy place, but it was a great shortcut to other parts of the city since our hotel was at the end of it on St Stephen’s Green. The Strøget in Copenhagen was wonderful, and the way it connected into several small squares and OTHER pedestrian only streets really worked! The only other example I know of personally, Vitosha Blvd in Sophia, really nicely done, a huge street (since it used to have trams) and it was a way to have restaurants keep a smoking section, in a separate enclosed space on what used to be parking (kind of what we’re doing now with outdoor dining during COVID, but the spaces looked more professionally made and not cobbled together out of plywood.)
