Well, Warszawa is truly a vibrant city. There are skyscrapers, there are big corpo companies areas but I guess Poland has passed this stage. At the same time tenement houses in the center are filled with all kind of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, where all kind of trends appear quickly. On the other hand, there are nearby districts that are much quieter, slower. I like that literally all old buildings, loft, former factories, depots are renovated and converted into some kind of food courts, business centers etc. In the very center, there is for example (hmm this year or last renoavted) norblin factory - an old factory area converted to modern food town, bio bazar, shopping center, museum (there's Apple computers museum there - very nice one actually, in very pretty, stylish space :) ). It's huge - it has open / outside space, some kind of a patio, inside loft. In Poland, a lot of people say / said about Warszawa, Warszafka (people obsessed with career, bling bling, etc.) but I disagree with that. Sure, in 2 mln city, there are all kind of people, but I would say that Warsaw has it's own charm. As a Polish who, I'm actually quite proud of it. We don't need to be ashamed of having such capital ;) It's also has it's dark history, war history. So, it is kind of and example, prove, that literally any country can take a long ride to some better future, and capital pretty much shows this. There are still some old building from PRL era that pretty much don't fit ;) - they're simply ugly and nowhere near to some brutalism, nice architecture but yeah, Warsaw had a long ride.

[@marekjanczewski]

There is a certain inconsistency, for example in the communist palace of culture in the city center.

[@adamuppsala1931]

Sorry, I beg to differ. In my understanding, Warszafka are the poor people of non-Warsaw origin coming to the capital city for work and behave as if they made it to a management position at the White House in Washington DC, to say the least. Truly successful people aren't arrogant. When I was in Warsaw I didn't experience it but I was told by the locals about this phenomenon.

In terms of infrastructure and houses it reminds me of Eastern german cities from some years ago. I mean the city was german in the past and you can stil see that imo^^.

[@recordofragnarokisapurehyp6660]

@@stroll-and-roll Our city is literally a definition of Prussian imperialism, lmao. After living here for my entire life I accidently became a Prussian imperialist myself (that's a joke but Szczecin or I should say STETTIN has that weird vibe). Yeah, many things could be developed but the president of Szczecin has no plans for developing the cultural aspect of the city (and keeping XIX century mood as well) or any events promotion because it is absolutely AWFUL here. I also think that we should maybe try building Prussian-inspired or XIX-century inspired blocks and steampunkish architecture in general because it looks awsome and really fits the city's spirit instead of that modern style. But what can we expect? Kinda nothing. Szczecin was done dirty a little bit after war, if you look at the pre-war photos, you'll see the city was so beautiful. I also wondered if we should have tried doing more murals and eco-murals because they look great, they could make communistic blocks less awful. I freaking hate communistic blocks. They look so bad. I have a dream I will learn to paint street art some day but I don't really have time or space to learn (or strength). But first we should end all the roads renovations and then think about cultural aspects.

The fact that Warsaw was essentially reduced to rubble in 1944 gave the city a kind of blank slate to work with and you can really see that in the downtown esspecially, where there are very little if any pre-war buildings and so it's a really interesting mix of old communist-age blocks, modern skyscrapers, new, trendy malls, coffee shops etc. but as you start moving away from the modern downtown, you can see these blocks and communist architecture pretty much everywhere which some people dont really like, saying it just looks old and worn out and that they all look the same, but for me it gives a sense of nostalgia and familiarity since i grew up in the same blocks.

Totally agree. New microphone is already here :)

[@ar0naimstar]

as a polish person im gonna give you true arguments to visit eastern europe (+ poland, czechia, slovakia): alcochol is probably cheaper the anywhere else

[@poldek270]

You should see Żoliborz

[@balot13]

I'm surprised and i'm from fricking Poland

[@Pilek01]

Some Germans (and not only) still think that people in Poland ride on horses instead of cars and that we have no roads 🤣🤣🤣

[@Maslak791]

4:37 get that Warsaw look

[@linaskvedaras]

Valdemar, are you Polish?

[@Valdemaaar]

No, actually. If you are curious just visit my Facebook

[@maciekpajak4864]

Very nice film, I' m originally from Krakow, wich is not that modern because it has not that mauch sky scrapers it wasn' t destroyed during the ww2 so to not cover the old town there are just 2 sky scrapers in Krakow which are not that tall, and I think this is what makes the atmosphere of krakow. I recommend you to see this uniqe thown as it has a lot to offer.

[@Valdemaaar]

Kraków will be next :)

I comment as a Polish guy who lives in Warsaw, and our subway can be pretty crowded in the rush hours (it's about 7-9 am, and 4-6 pm). Also its so clean and modern because it was just build very lately. Polish first metro line is much more dirtier and less pretty then the second line.

[@Valdemaaar]

We were lucky then :)

[@pawelpiotrowski9558]

good luck

[@RellLP]

boi just think what warsaw would be if it wouldn't be stopped from developing by wars or being destroyed by germany in 1939 (that's why past all these years they had to rebuild it)

[@AutomatPL]

I live in warsaw, and tbh i don't see so many things, that are special, for me it's just standard EU city

[@Valdemaaar]

People who live there and people who are visiting the city see it differently and pay attention to different things ;)

[@janek-by8px]

Standardowe europejskie miasto? Tylko 3 europejskie stolice mają więcej drapaczy chmur... Większość państw europejskich nie ma nawet jednego drapacza chmur...

i dont get how i got more subs than you, amazing work

[@Valdemaaar]

Thanks, Simwn

3:23 these building are not "grey and ugly"! This is an example of modernism housing architecture, they are not soviet at all. During war Warsaw was turned into a pile of debris. After war architects decided to build new center of Warsaw in architectural style of modernism (which was also pretty popular before the war). And this is it. These building are simple yet elegant.

[@Valdemaaar]

You can call it with any word, but they still are grey boxes copied across all USSR or Soviet-controlled countries and there is nothing good about it

[@thedoczekpl]

@Władysławów If you paint them well, they look pretty decent, and you can have pretty decent life in them. And they solved the mass urbanisation problem pretty well.

[@kartonik9707]

this town in Polish language name is warszawa

[@Valdemaaar]

Dziękuję, nigdy nie słyszałem :)

[@FurasCebulowy]

WHAAAAAT I swear to God this is not how I remember it. This is literally my country. It sure is evolving! In my town nothing changes but that's obviously because it's Sosnowiec.

[@Hasio-Maszkietnik]

W sosnowcu sanie zajebali?

[@FurasCebulowy]

@@Hasio-Maszkietnik tak

[@sirocc4933]

There we go, i hit the 100th sub haha

[@zapko4415]

Śródmieście is definitely one of my favorite places in Poland

[@dzonikg]

I am not fun off glass skyscrapers,there is nothing modern in it,its just that are cheap and easy to build.Art deco buildings are much more classier but more expensive to build

[@Niemcy.]

[@justarandompolishguy1513]

Tak jak coś to mówi się "I live in..."

[@Valdemaaar]
