Grodzka Street (Polish: Ulica Grodzka, lit. Gord Street) – one of the oldest streets in Kraków, Poland. Grodzka was part of a former north–south trade route. The street is part of the Royal Route, used by Polish kings to reach Wawel Castle. The earliest documents referencing its name date from the thirteenth century.
Part of the street was destroyed by the Kraków Fire of 1850. In the later half of the 19th century, a tramway track was laid on Grodzka Street.
