[Olek]

i think Warsaw presents better at night . i give 9.5

[ChRizzzO]

ohh finally a "Vote our Skylines" thread about Warsaw, thank you Eustachy!!!

warszawiak could you tell me a little more about the Hochtieftower and Atrium South... are they already under construction, how high will they be and where will they get built???

[ryanr]

Warsaw has a great skyline!! Totally unexpected, actually.

8.5/10:)

[mookiecece]

looks like Warsaw's starting to get more highrises... I like that old palace of culture of science building dominating the skyline.... looks kinda like Cleveland before Key Tower was built... 8.5/10

[Kaneda]

I like it ! 7.5 ! :okay:

But It needs some more skyscrapers ( Well, okay, name a city that dosen't :D )

[Justme]

[X-seed 4000]

In the day-time without its lights, Waraw's skyline really isn't as good as people might think. 7.0/10 But in the night I'd give it an 8.0/10... overall: 7.5/10

[Chris]

8/10

[supercees]

Well that first picture kicks ass! From ground level I have never noticed this really cool view before, although I have been in Warsaw a couple of times! Excellent so this is gonna be a 9!

Another point I would like to mention is that all the "old" buildings are newly build after being destroyed by the Germans and Russians in WW2. I think they (the polish with rebuilding) did an excellent job!

[SUNNI]

nice skyline, an unexpected city.. love it!
9

[Jeff from Winnipeg]

Nice diversity in buildings, just needs to be more dense and it'll have it made. ->9/10

[Kevinkhoo1986]

6.5/10 from me:D

[SeeMacau]

I like the design of tall buildings in Warsaw
9.5/10

[parody24]

I first visited Warsaw last year and was shocked to see
all the skyscrapers! Great city. I love it in every respect.
I give the skyline an 8/10.

[SteelCity32]

Warsaw has a nice skyline for a city not known to have one.

8/10

[Van der Rohe]

Now I'm proud to be born in this city! ;-)

But Warsaw has many urban problems, the city doesn't care enough for uran planning and many good skyscrapers are being built outside the strict city centre. If that was not so, this city would have had an even better skyline...

[kuba]

Not so dense but really nice

[lukay]

Well yeah some of the skyscrapers are build a distance from the city center but i think that with time they will all clense together to make one big downtown.

[gothicform]

reminds me of london minus canary wharf to be honest, but i love the palace of culture there - one of my fave skyscrapers. very european, lots of spires and rather spread out too. i give it 7 - 5/5 for character and history, and 2/5 for density and height.

[SeeMacau]

Warsaw is turning to Modern
The city is start to getting more and more high-rise
I give it 9/10

[Wu-Gambino]

I love Warsaw.

[renell]

i dont like the fact that a majority of the tall scrapers in Warsaw are boxes :(

its has some density, but not a lot 7/10

[Builder]

great! warsaw beats istanbul !!!

[CtrlAltDel]

Not bad, a little spaced out but the night time shots look good. 7/10

[giallo]

Warsaw looks awesome. Judging by the approved buildings I've seen in the other threads, this skyline is only going to get better. 7.5

[lukay]

Warsaw has some impresive skyscrapers but we also have some great mid-rises and other impresive buildings.

Those were some absolutely awe-inspiring pictures you posted there. That one building, can't remember the name however is a definate focal point. I give the skyline a 7/10.

[X-seed 4000]

Great night pictures... crappy day shots.


Score: 7.0/10

[Tony 175]

I dont know much about this skyline so I cant say much.

Its skyline looks pretty good. Id look to see it denser, but the skyscrapers look pretty straight. It looks awsome at night and the street level shots are awsome as well! :D

7.5. :)

warsaw is one of the european cities with the biggest potential in terms of highrise construction - great pics

[DrumCorpsAlum]

Don't know what it is about Warsaw, I just love it. The skyline is a bit boxy and spread out however. I do love that one building, which I should know the name of but don't. 7/10.

[weirdo]

nice. i like the way this city looks. and considering the fact that is was world's most devastated city during the last world war, it amazes me with its rapid development. 10/10. one of the best in europe and the world

[any@body]

warsaw need a lot of work in the center of the city.there are many ugly and low socialistics residentials.in past 10 years capital made a huge progress.city is groving and changing every year and has a lot of free space for skyscrapers in downtown.many scrapers are U/C and many more approved so i think warsaw has the biggest potential in europe,especially after join UE.
i give 8

[alex3000]

I like the skyline. Is not that bad.

Warsaw is definitely in the top 5 of Europe.

[Van der Rohe]

And this one will soon be a slight improvement to the skyline ;-)

http://www.budinfo.pl/grafika/image5463.JPG

[lukay]

And what about those, four towers all 80 to 100 meters. Construction has already begun. Hotel Hilton, an Office Building and two residentials. That should improve the skyline a bit.

Not bad....7.8/10

[my5ux]

cool,
8/10 - nice blend of modern and old but lack of tall buildings...

[james2390]

7.5, ok

[SoboleuS]

Warsaw skyline is not the best in the world ;) but I think it deserves 9/10, because this city was almost completely destroyed during WWII, and after that, was under communist rule for about 40 years - so because of that, the progress of this city is really amazing :)

[Javier]

i gave it an 8
i liked the skyline, :okay:

[SE_Lain]

:D I looove Warsaw, I think it's a great city (on the left bank anyway :P) all together and the skyline ~*is*~ pretty nice!

8 for sentimental attatchment and the fact that I'm fascinated by the city's history.

[RafflesCity]

7.5/10

Warsaw skyline looks good and its getting better!

[DocentX]

I am giving 8/10 - I love my city but I know that it needs many improvements. It's developing very fast so maybe in 10-15 years I will give 11/10 ;)

But don't think that there are only skyscrapers which are interesting to see in Warsaw. I personally really like Warsaw parks:

It has also some green skyscrapers :laugh:

Warsaw has much potential, though.

[huaiwei]

Not too bad although dominated by spires in some views. 7/10! ;)

[dumatod]

I didn't know this city has nice skyline.
I like old buildings

No,no, widze ze reklama idzie pelna para:D

Many things are good, but many (like building locations) could be better. And I hope they will.
8/10

[JorgeR]

I like the nightshoots 7/10

[leealex_24]

Hmm, appeals does not lie on the number of buidlings or its density but by its magnificent architecture of the buildings. I particularly like the shophouses and pathways, very well designed and decorated. Gives me an expression of a very relaxing and slow-pace city, I'm not sure if i'm right though. Anyway, great city, I give 7.5/10

[WZ1]

Kind of remindeds me of a mix of Montreal and Buffalo, there is one building in MOntreal that looks identical, and tehn the buffalo city hall looks similar to one of the other building there.

[Jheef]

i like it 7/10 :happy:

[eosendil]

7,5/10... and it will be better :D

[Brizbane2]

Well I certainly did not expect a skyline like this in Warsaw. Fantastic. Although I hope that the scrapers find a more regionalised style

[artoor]

I'd put all high bldgs in close proximity, but still
Warsaw's skyline is much above European average
for a big city.

but if compare with the rest of the world the skyline is only a 5 or 6

[FutureLOTpilot]

This is an awesome city. It is full of life and very exciting. The fact that it was completely destroyed only 60 years ago and now is fully rebuilt and growing rapidly is amazing. Warsaw is the pride and joy of Poland and the Polish people. I love this city and I hope it has an excellent future with many skyscrapers. 10/10

[Blackbelt Jones]

Wow! What can I say, but nice work Warsaw! I knew things have been booming there for the past decade, but holy smokes! This has to be one of the nicest skylines in Europe, and you should be proud. I give it a solid "8".

yeah the parks are really nice i have to agree ;) but the skyscrapers are nothing special

[DocentX]

From Asian point of view Warsaw skyline is nothing speciall, but from European point of view Warsaw is in top 5 :) :cheers:

But as I said before, Warsaw is not only famous for it's skyscrapers, there is lot's of other things to see.

[Kommandant Mark]

Yeah, but Asian cities are only about skyscrapers.
They got nothing else going for them.

Certainly nothing that can be compared with Warsaw's beautiful people, parks, palaces, castles, old town's, streets, etc.

[rayman]

yeah from the rest of the world warzaw is nothing unique or special in skyscrapers, compare it with any american city or asian, it's way way behind you have to accept that even thought you got beautiful parks ;)

anyway kommandant
are you saying that warzaw has more beautiful people than asian?? haha what kind of talk is that?? I think asians got more beautiful people than warzaw for sure (anyway that was kinda low talking). castles and stuff yeah you got more beautiful castles because we don't have much castles but temples asian cities got more beautiful because you don't have temples that was a silly thing to compare. If you wanna compare technollogy asians are way ahead as well. The asian food is a lot more tasty than what you guys eat in warzaw :D

[OlekD]

yeah from the rest of the world warzaw is nothing unique or special in skyscrapers, compare it with any american city or asian, it's way way behind you have to accept that even thought you got beautiful parks ;)

anyway kommandant

8/10.

[AUTO]

I love this city :)

[below-0]

Warsaw looks fantastic at night, looks to be one of Europe's fastest growing cities and skylines. Blending in very nicely with the beautiful old parks and architecture I give it a 9.5!

[Janis_LV]

Warszawa was destroyed in the last war so it is free for new buildings. That's an advantage of such a misery. It's much morw difficult to build something in London, Rome, Wien or Riga. I mean you can't build a scyscraper in the middle of art nouveau districts, renessaince palaces or medieval old town. You can build the buildings outside of the historic center as it is done in Paris, but in many cities iinvestors dont like their scyscrapers to be somewhere in outskirts.

For its urban look warszawa deserves 10 points to compare with other european cities. For its historical quarters 4 maybe.

Definitely ahead and in a better conididtion than Berlin and its skyline and cityscape seems better than many other German cities.A lot of contruction and modernization going on.Uniqque blend of new and old. Just give Warsaw 10 more years and everything will dramatically change, the economy and its competitiveness with the level of Frankfurt etc. For now, I think its skyline is better than that of Berlin, they also seem very alike with their commie blocks.Way to go, 10 points for me.

Unfortunately, the "0" level of the city is in worse condition than in Berlin. Berlin started to care a lot for its squares and streets. There are many beautiful squares in Warsaw, but most if them are used as car parks only with small, ruined pavements, and no public space, no fountains, no place to sit...

The public investments concentrate on bridges, expressways - and there aren't enough money left for public spaces in the centre :-(

Yeah , It is main problem of Warsaw. The infrastructure for pedestrans in really bad condition. Acctually sitation is getting better at the moment , but mostly thanks to private enterprizes. I hope Authorites of warsaw will notice this problem at last!!!

Although the situation is getting better, there's a lot to be done. I agree, Warsaw builts great buildings but they exist like a separated islands of luxury among grey reality. I think, City Center must be renovated, sooner or later.. There is no place for street trade, unlimited adwerts on the walls, and dirty streets. All must fit together, it's a standard, not a vainity...

I know what you mean, and I agree with you. There are already quite big number of modern building, but details)like pavements, city lights or advertisments represent still poor level. I ve noticed that situation is getting better , but there is still long way to be perfect!!! In the case of details Warsaw is far behing other European capitols , even When I looked at Kiev's photos , I felt envious!!!

[DRAKKO]

great skyline 9/10

[alex_d]

for the skyline 9/10, that's what i love the most in warsaw, but on other hand i hate the urban chaos that has dominated the city.paradoxically this can be something very worth seeing, because it somehow is what's most unique in warsaw.like few people said on this thread, there is still a poor quality of the ground level, i think it's the issue that needs the most improvement. And there's also an amazing fact that the purest center area of downtown is i guess the least occupied by buildings downtown in europe.that's the area around the palace of culture, which now is an empty field with some temporary market halls that look really uncool. however this is the area that has the brightest future coming up.the authorities are finishing the master plan for that. it's most awaited issue in urban strategy for warsaw.the plan is going to develop the most prestigous area in the city as it once was before last world war(paradoxically at that time this was the most dense part of the town).the bad news about all that is that among all the new buildings there's no room for skyscrapers, wich i think doesn't work well in that area. i guess the only way to clean up that urban chaos is to change the surroundings of the palace of culture into a district full of towers. on the other hand however i'd be glad of anything fullfilling the empty field here on one condition only: it needs to be a top class architecture , wich i suppose is really possible and awaited....

Warsawa SKYLINE is one of the best, I gave it 9.5

[decapitated]

it's getting better and better:)

[i_am_hydrogen]

Definitely one of the better skylines in Europe, but it has some work to do. The height is good as is the diversity of architectural styles. But the skyline also suffers from some ugly block architecture and lacks density. Fortunately, it continues to grow and develop. Many of these newer buildings are helping to provide a refreshing temperament to the skyline.

7.0/10.

[phxmania2001]

Based on the original pics, I gave it a 6.5, but the photos above do it so much more justice (at least as far as showing the skyline goes). 8/10

Nice...but what about 2010? No future plans?
There are new towers planned (residentials on Grzybowska St., office on Zlota and Twarda St.), but we don't have any renderings of those projects :dunno:

[mlovecan]

9 / 10. My girlfriend is from Warsaw.

I don't get there that often - maybe twice a year since I moved to Europe in 2000. Each time, there seems to be a couple of new skyscrapers going up like rockets - particularily after Poland's accession to the EU ( May 2004 ). The skyline has not yet passed Frankfurt's proportions but it certainly will in the next 2 to 4 years.

Unfortunately, though, Warsaw is not a city with a wealth of nightlife ( Krakow is THE place in Poland for that! ) this is largely due the cost of living / earnings of the average Warsaw resident. I am really lucky when I am in Warsaw - Polish hospitality is the warmest anywhere. If you happen to know somebody there, you will be welcomed into their home like a king!
