You don't understand. The dream of "thriving" is far gone with the bullshit things our government put us through. It's back to PRL depression, meaning: soviet times depression.
I have been to Warsaw last week and was really fascinated by the city and its people. They seem to be very forward looking and optimistic. And apart from all those fancy high rise buildings they are actively constructing brand new, modern and affordable housing in the outskirts, which are connected to the city centre by a modern public transport system. I'm from Germany and tbh, given how little our leaders embrace the opportunities of the near future and care for current challenges like housing AND lack of strategic outlook (don't get me started on the fu*king Nordstream project, for instance), I would gladly see Poland catch up with and maybe even surpass Germany in the next decades. From what I've seen, they earned it. Dziekuje i do widzenia, neighbours!
Same about Budapest. My dream is to visit it and walk around a bit. Looks absolutely gorgeous on pictures. My mum used to travel there in the 1970s to buy stuff that wasn't available here in Poland.
Poland is a truly beautiful country, which has risen like a phoenix from the ashes after the devastation of the Second World War and decades of communism.

I visited Warsaw many times, and I actually really don't like the city at all. The new skyscrapers comprise only a very small part of the city center, the rest is dull, grey and depressive.

I beg to differ, mate, there are many others interesting and unique places in Warsaw. Oops, Greetings from 🇧🇻? Are you a penguin or a seal? As far as I know, there's no other possibility😂
@@krisfekete4940 LOL, I meant Norway, although Bouvet Island also technically is Norway :D Of course, Warsaw has its cool places too, but I prefer other Polish cities :)
Okay while technically true I think having a giant mast on the top of the building is cheating. If the Varso Tower and the Shard were side by side I think most people would agree the Shard would seem much taller and grander. I know the top floor of the Shard isn't much higher than Varso Tower but the way they've added height above that on the Shard is much better as most people looking at the building would think the floors go all the way to the top.
I predict that in a few years they'll hang a wire to a drone and measure the altitude of the drone as the height of the building. They should measure the top floor instead of the antennas.
I live in Warsaw and agree with you. Varso is 230 meters to the top floor, however nobody is cheating, according to International rules of calculating buildings height every solid structure counts.
The varso tower is cheating tho. Antenna is extremely long (which isn't only unaesthetic but also not really part of the tower itself). For example The Commerzbank Tower also has an antenna but it isn't counted as structural height. Commerzbank Tower official height is 259m, with antenna it's 300m tall.
To be precise, the last usable storey of Commerzbank Tower is located as far as I remember 217m above ground level, so it is even bigger cheat than in case of Varso Tower.
@@arturciosek2987In this case, Burj Khalifa has also only a total height of about 500m and about 108. Floors, all storeys above are not for walking, only to have the Biggest One for Dubai 😅

A very beautiful view of Warsaw! The Varso Tower may be the tallest in the EU, but it is a long way from the Federation Tower in Moscow (373.7m) and the Lakhta Centre in St Petersburg (462m), which is the tallest in Europe.
The Shard comes by its height honestly, instead of by virtue of an antenna that is almost a third the height of the building it's tacked onto and isn't actually a integral part of the structure of the building. This is called vanity height and is not really legitimate.
The Shard has a height gain vanity hat too, only on the Shard the hat is better hidden from view. And frankly, the Shard is an ugly monstrosity, just like the other high-rises in London. Creating style isn't something the English are good at.
@@comdo831 a bit harh and unfair... Shard is not that bad looking... Nevertheless who really cares about centimetres? Its all PR and thats it. Hopefully the skyscrapers will serve the cities well.
I saw this "best city" with my own eyes twice within last two weeks while transferring between flights. I saw trash, beggars and literal SH*T on the pavement 2,5km in a straight line from this tower, at the west rail station. I think I've seen better cities than this.
The height given is with the spire. Comparing it to other skyscrapers (i.e. Shard) without a mention of it is like comparing your salary to those of others forgetting to deduct tax ;)
warsaws skyline is very beautiful but i think this building is no supertall, as well as all the other ones cracking the 300m mark only because of their spire..

It is a total lie and sick begging for appreciation. The height of the building is 230 metres up to the roof plus 80 metre antenna (or something). If next year they put a 500 metre aerial on the roof, will you write that Varso Tower is the highest building in the world?
@@kenb3552 Give it up with the CENTRAL thing. You don't need a central, you can just split east and west. Which many people still do, that places Poland in the eastern half.

If it is not Manhattan with astronomical property price every building with more than 20 storeys makes no sense with additional cost for fire security, plumbing, elevators, distance needed to other buildings etc etc. Those super high rise building are purely build for prestige reasons.
@@hehejo8568 A spire is an architectural feature on a building. It is a tall, tapering peak on a roof. An antenna is a functional piece of equipment for receiving or transmitting electromagnetic signals (e.g. radio, TV, cellular telephone).
Biggest global crisis since IIWW is coming. Not very good time for so big investments but maybe later than can change offices to ultimate luxury flats for Ukrainians. Polish govt will be happy to pay for this.
I still believe that getting cities wider is better than making them taller. All the connections still happen on the single level. Underground travel would be great, but it will never be financially viable. Without it the city will suffer never ending traffic jams.
Making cities wider rather than taller sucks. Tall buildings mean everything is closer and you have more space for everything else Instead of building two malls, hotel and few like 4 stories high offices all next to each other - fit all that into single skyscraper and use space you saved for small park. Spreading buildings like that all only wastes space And after packing them together city becomes more compact and looks better
it was never thought to be a place for skyscrapers? Warsaw had the tallest building in europe for like 40 years i think when the finished the palace of culture, one of the same size in Moscow
In London, Paris and a lot other places, skyscrapers are simply banned in the city, that's why they don't have many. It's not because they can't afford it, haha.
Took me literally 10s to check it for London. Apparently there are multiple proposed and approved skyscrapers there, and even some under construction (8 Bishopsgate, Consort Place, One Nine Elms, to name a few). Another 5s look at Paris and whaddaya know - Tour Hekla, 220m, under construction (topped out atm). Also, whether a city "can afford it" doesn't mean anything because cities don't finance skyscrapers out of their budget. Ensuring proper infrastructure, attractive land value etc - yes, but they dont't get directly involved financially in such commercial undertakings. Yes, I agree that many cities do ban skyscrapers, but let's stick to the facts, shall we?
@@RadiantWarrior facts are facts, buddy, and they clearly contradict your statement. if you have something meaningful to say, then just say it because your comment brings absolutely nothing to the discussion. if you don't know how to convey your message, I guess I can't help you.

Currently London has the most proposed skyscrapers, 138 will be built by 2030
Not that impressive because of that 80 metre antenna
There is the Skyscraper FourFrankfurt higher with a total height of 233m without a 80m Antenna, which doesn't count to a total height !!!
Forget "Lakhta Tower" in Sankt Petersburg , Russia .
Or maybe "forget"???
Of course "forgot". Europe is cancelling russians.
Russia belongs to Asia:)
@@jankowalski3220 better Asia than North America
@@davorlekenik9563 Depends on who likes what. I prefer the western civilization not the eastern barbarity represented by Russia.
@@jankowalski3220 yeeees .... bloody Russia .... the world still remember barbarian "russian" destroying of Iraq,Syria,Lybia,Somalia,Yemen,Yugoslavia,Afghanistan,Panama,Vietnam,Laos,Grenada,Hiroshima,Nagasaki etc etc etc ......
Including the antenna is cheating in my view.
It is a total lie and sick begging for appreciation. The height of the building is 230 metres up to the roof plus 80 metre antenna (or something). If next year they put a 500 metre aerial on the roof, will you write that Varso Tower is the highest building in the world?
You can thanks to slovak company HBReavis who brought and builded this skyscraper in Poland.
supertall antenna not supertall skyscraper.
Kinda looks like something build in the 70s US.
🇵🇱🏆🇵🇱🏆
поляки молодцы!)
The amount of jealous germans here is just insane.
Why would Germans be jealous of this skyscraper 😂
Varso Tower is a scam, ugly and will be soon topped by a new skyscraper in Frankfurt - real height 288 metres (no antenna).
agreed (im polish)
Antenna doesn't count.
Omg , Poland so powerfull and modern OMG
Is it a computer artificial voice? Sounds terribly….
Gdańsk and Kraków are still beyond of this
Thank's God. Would you like to watch the Wawel castle behind skyscrapes scenery..?
I am always Frist views
Warsaw is definitely the number 1 metropolis in Eastern Europe now. Looking like a real global city.
Poland is in CENTRAL Europe, not Eastern Europe.
@@kenb3552 Give it up with the CENTRAL thing. You don't need a central, you can just split east and west. Which many people still do, that places Poland in the eastern half.
@@maxisussex which makes us, Poles, angry. East means Rrrrrrussia.
@@fox570808 In English "eastern" refers to all the countries formerly to the east of the iron curtain, which includes Poland. "Central Europe" has never caught on in English speaking countries, which is why most English speakers don't use the term.
@@maxisussex So it's time to finally change your bad habits.
No ugly Skyscraper for Europe
Respect for the memory of World War II

20-30 storey should be the max for future construction since they have high cost maintenance?
If it is not Manhattan with astronomical property price every building with more than 20 storeys makes no sense with additional cost for fire security, plumbing, elevators, distance needed to other buildings etc etc. Those super high rise building are purely build for prestige reasons.
Poland very rich.
The antenna doesn't count.
Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat says it does, as it is a spire not an antenna like on the Commerzbank tower.
True .... like One WTC in NYC ..... 541 meters (1776 feet) ..... wtf ??
Antenna is not skyscrsper .....Freedom Tower is 417 m.tall !!!
That antenna is a cu...nt.
I took the waaaaaalk to Poland 🇵🇱 🚶🏾
👍👍👍
AKA Old Chicago
🇵🇱❤️
My mother hates it that skyscraper is in the place where my moms old job was and that why she's mad
POLAND MOUNTAIN 🏔🇵🇱
So why are the half a million polaks in Ireland then, and more in England, if Poland is such a great place...
YOU CANT BE SERIOUS
Is this an advert? Sounds like it.
You guys better take a look in Rotterdam. ;)
Only 230 meters tall, with 80 meters antenna.
230m tall skyscraper and a 70m spire. Ok.
300 METERS OR 1000 FEET !
Big antenne
Commerzbank tower has an antenna this is a spire
It is biggest vertical dic...k.
@barteksz932 Commerzbank tower 259m without antenna, varso tower 230m without antenna
@@hehejo8568 A spire is an architectural feature on a building.
It is a tall, tapering peak on a roof.
An antenna is a functional piece of equipment for receiving or transmitting electromagnetic signals (e.g. radio, TV, cellular telephone).

Biggest global crisis since IIWW is coming. Not very good time for so big investments but maybe later than can change offices to ultimate luxury flats for Ukrainians. Polish govt will be happy to pay for this.
I still believe that getting cities wider is better than making them taller. All the connections still happen on the single level. Underground travel would be great, but it will never be financially viable. Without it the city will suffer never ending traffic jams.
No, no, no for hundred times. Thanks to that Warsaw only will become big conglomeration of villages instead of becoming dense and true European citry.
Making cities wider rather than taller sucks.
Tall buildings mean everything is closer and you have more space for everything else
Instead of building two malls, hotel and few like 4 stories high offices all next to each other - fit all that into single skyscraper and use space you saved for small park. Spreading buildings like that all only wastes space
And after packing them together city becomes more compact and looks better
it was never thought to be a place for skyscrapers? Warsaw had the tallest building in europe for like 40 years i think when the finished the palace of culture, one of the same size in Moscow
Skyscrapers are boring and an eye sore.
In London, Paris and a lot other places, skyscrapers are simply banned in the city, that's why they don't have many. It's not because they can't afford it, haha.
Took me literally 10s to check it for London. Apparently there are multiple proposed and approved skyscrapers there, and even some under construction (8 Bishopsgate, Consort Place, One Nine Elms, to name a few). Another 5s look at Paris and whaddaya know - Tour Hekla, 220m, under construction (topped out atm). Also, whether a city "can afford it" doesn't mean anything because cities don't finance skyscrapers out of their budget. Ensuring proper infrastructure, attractive land value etc - yes, but they dont't get directly involved financially in such commercial undertakings. Yes, I agree that many cities do ban skyscrapers, but let's stick to the facts, shall we?
@@tmbrs Next time spend more than 10 s and you will understand what i was saying. Good luck! :)
@@RadiantWarrior facts are facts, buddy, and they clearly contradict your statement. if you have something meaningful to say, then just say it because your comment brings absolutely nothing to the discussion. if you don't know how to convey your message, I guess I can't help you.
Varso Tower was build by slovakian company, and they are owners.
I don't get the comment, because there are skyscrapers in London or Paris. Jason, have you been to these cities at all?
wtf only 310m and call skyscrapper LoL. I thought europe gonna build a 1Km tall to beat Middle west asia. europe is the land of dwarf buildings aka shortest skyscappers in the world.
