  No! Many parts of Warsaw are ugly, i admit, but if you know where to look you can find truly amazing places, like ochota, zoliborz, lazienki, the old town and all of the palaces parks and squares around it! Besides the city is getting more modern and attractive, destroying its communist past more and more every year. Soon, Warsaw will be a truly desirable city. Besides the locals are very nice and attractive!! :D

  Rubbish! I loved Warsaw. Loved the food, loved the nightlife, loved the people I met there, loved the variety of buildings. I would/will return. There are many far uglier places in Europe. Coventry for one! Yikes.

  I agree - it's all about the people and who you ask... What's the point of being in a beautiful city if the people around you are nasty and unfriendly? At least you meet quite a few nice people in Warsaw who would smile and talk to you. I've lived in Vienna in the last three years and can't wait to get out of here. The city itself is visually beautiful, but I've never such unfriendly and depressed people anywhere else in the world, and I've been to 35 countries already. I'd say if Warsaw was voted the ugliest city, then Vienna should probably be voted the unfriendliest, the unhappiest and the most depressing city on this planet. Must have something to do with Freud, I guess :-)

  I grew up in Warsaw but moved away many years ago. Every time I return, new ugly buildings joined already ugly architecture. I spent 21 years of my life there but agree - it is one of the ugliest, most depressing city I have ever been too. It is time for city planners and architects to develop a beautification plan. The ugly architecture is keeping tourists away, including me! I couldn't wait to get out of Warsaw.

  nonono, i disagree! there are plenty of uglier cities in europe, this must have been written by some kind of warsaw-haters.:) i like to go there for weekends to my polish friends and to know the painful but highly interesting history of the city. the night life, clubs, restaurants, theaters, museums - everything's fine there. in 10 years this will supposedly be serious berlin's competitor - not so expensive, intriguing, with interesting entertaining and cultural offer.

  Whats wrong with some grim? real cities,especially old ones have it. Take NYC for example. I lived in Warsaw for 5 years. Easy to get around, small international city with a few nice parks. I would agree that its not perhaps the most beautiful, but it has it's nice spots and it is a friendly and very livable. I would say Warsaw, overall, is more enjoyable then Miami, where I have lived for the last six years.I would always say, maybe the city isn't the most beautiful, but the people make up for it.

  I also beleive this moniker is wrong. Warsaw has vaaried architecture, not just the old. Anyway it should be realized Warsaw wqas a much more elegant city before WWII, but thanks to Adolf and his criminals, it has what fate handed it. It is still a cool and beautiful city in my opinion. Viva Warsaw!!

  Amen, with a capital 'A'.Warsaw is pretty butt-ugly, but i think the real icing on the cake is the fake palm tree in the city-center.I'd try out Berlin, or drinking ink, or anything but going to Warsaw, unless you enjoy grimy, old busses, mean people, and generally 80% of the population being old people. Thank you, and good day.

  Are they kidding me? Warsaw the ugliest? I could say Athens, Tirana, Bucharest or Skopje are from the ugliest towns in Europe, but definitely not Warsaw. It competes easily with other polish towns like Krakow and Gdansk. Warsaw provides everything from old architecture to socialism realism and modern architecture. For sure a town not to be missed!

  Warsaw will get a lot uglier if Daniel Libeskind's stupid tower, "Zlota 44", gets built. The last thing Warsaw needs is more pretentious, btutalist architecture glorifying one pompous architect's need for attention and self gratification. Libeskind is worse than the communists when it comes to self aggrandizment.
