Easily to access by metro (Mar Girgis), the whole street is full of churches and monastries. Don't miss the steps down to the second level behind St Marcus church - go until the Synagogue where the well stands where Mary once bathed little Jesus.

The heart of downtown is best explored with a walking tour starting at Talaat Harb Square which was built by Haussmann like a square in Paris.
