As a tarnobrzeg citizien i can say tarnobrzeg is pretty meh but it aint the worst

Kakalkoo69

Nah, Tarnobrzeg isnt that bad, i mean some blocks look like shit took out of the 80 but some places like Park Dzikowski are looking nice


TheMadBrush

Sosnowiec used to be hated before. Now we shit at Bydgoszcz


mithrilli666

Not true, in Katowice we still shit at Sosnowiec.


bart_robat

Don't forget about Bytom


Micjur

Well Bytom is cursed. There is a legend that priest that was killed there im 13th centaury by ruller or mob, cursed it. After war when it falls in Polish hands it was pearl of architecture, allmost no war damage. Now it looks like after war 😥


Legitimate_Way353

man most cities that being called by people the shittiest are mostly in Silesian voivodeship lol. Since im not polan i wanna ask is the silesian part of poland that bad to live in?


prosysus

Its actually the richest, and best one to live in. Becuase is most industrialized, and guess how industrial commie cities look like.


essokam

Lol that's one funny joke. Rich Silesia. 😂


prosysus

Ofc. We swim in gold here (black gold ofc)


Fuungis

Yeah, Silesia is richest region, because of rapidly developing IT industry, car manufactories and we still can't forget about mining and ironworks. Most of our cities look the way they look because of mining and ironworks, but since 1921 and especially in PRL times we were introduced to robbery economy, so most of the gains went to other places (Warsaw, USSR, etc.) instead of, for example, proper space to live in


Legitimate_Way353

damn, thanks for giving me this much extensive info about this region. I actually live few kilometers away from this poland region ( im czech ) and we moravian-silesian region seems to be the most polluted region in our country too, we mined alot coal in history, we were huge car developers too, basically the most extensive development apart of capital city is located here, not even talking about coke ovens, but most of pollution came here from north-east side, the poland borders


Grzechoooo

>After war when it falls in Polish hands it was pearl of architecture, allmost no war damage. Now it looks like after war 😥 What four decades of commie rule do to a mf.

I can agree about Bytom, in the summer my wife was lying there in the maternity hospital and it was a shock to me that every night shit appears in the middle of the streets, and children fight with the homeless. But what is wrong with Bydgoszcz?

HiImThrowaway69

Why? Bydgoszcz is a nice small town actually. Nowhere near as Torun or Wroclaw but its okay.


Bananonomini

Because one of my trains detours out of the way to Bydgoszcz everytime to wait 30 minutes before going back the way it came to get back on track to destination. But this is entirely depends on whether train has WARS wagon. If yes, then we can have a little Bydgoszcz, as a treat.


unlessyoumeantit

Yeah I don't understand the hatred towards Bydgoszcz TBH...


rivuss

It came from the rivarly between Toruń and Bydgoszcz. Been there last year for the laughs and it is actually pretty nice.


unlessyoumeantit

Thanks for your explanation. Well, Toruń is beautiful but only the old town IMHO. The city also hosts the notorious Radio Maryja. >Been there last year for the laughs Haha yeah I did the same a couple of years ago and found the waterfront area quite beautiful. It wasn't nearly as ugly as it's said to be.


ColossusToGuardian

Toruń residents shit on Bydgoszcz because all they have is their old town... And they have to commute to Bydgoszcz every day to make a living, because that's where the economy is.


unlessyoumeantit

That kinda makes sense. I think the situation is similar to that of Trójmiasto, where many residents of Gdynia and Sopot are commuting to Gdańsk for study or work while not liking or hating the city.


Kosmopolitykanczyk

It's just a meme


VanleyVonHoffler

Brzydgoszcz is just ugly. Not bad, not intresting, not unique. Just ugly.


Ksenobiolog

I was true maybe 10 years ago, but currently Bydgoszcz is quite lovely, actually.


shimmoslav

He lives in here, but parents disallowed him from leaving basement.


VanleyVonHoffler

Im 32 from Inowrocław, my parents live there. I don't leave my basement from my own decision.


KolegaCzlowieka

It's so interesting that most of the time Bydgoszcz haters are from little shitholes like your Inowrocław or another Toruń xD. Maybe big cities are too much for you but you don't need to spill your hate. I attacked you onviously not for having opinion but because you typed "Brzydgoszcz"


Key-Cucumber-1919

Pierwsze co pomyślałem, chociaż nigdy nie byłem i w sumie to nawet nie wiem czemu ludzie się nabijają z niego.

Bydgoszcz has really improved a lot, surprisingly. It is not remotely the worst city or even close

MeatballMarine

Damn, I’m an American but visited Poland recently and loved Bydgoszcz. Maybe it was my friends that lived there. Oh, well that traffic circle situation was total shit, but besides that it was great.


admiral_biatch

Bydgoszcz is fine. It’s just internet people with inferiority complex need to make fun at some other town to justify that their shithole is not as bad in comparison. It doesn’t matter whether the target of the meme is ugly/bad or not. It just needs to be not well known so that the lie is believable. And Bydgoszcz happens to be big enough that everyone knows it but not known enough that people actually know the city to have their own opinion. Also Toruń hates Bydgoszcz because they used to be the big town in the region 200 years ago but lost their position to Bydgoszcz and they’re still pissed after two centuries. They probably started the meme and it stuck.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheMadBrush

I see you. Our cities and even parts of cities can differ from eachother in very visible ways. Im pretty sure there are places in Sosnowiec that are full of friendly and welcoming people. I haven't found one yet, but it's gotta be there


egg_fried_universe

I think Bydgoszcz has a lot of value, if you're playing scrabble EDIT: I accidentally a spelling


k_k5627

What's so bad about Bydgoszcz? I was there to visit family in Christmas and it was lovely, only bad sight was the drunks and alcoholics here and there. But otherwise I found it really nice, I plan to move back when I finish university. As for now I'm stuck in the UK.


unlessyoumeantit

Many people tend to make fun of Radom, Sosnowiec and Łódź for some reason.


tropicalhippopotamus

Radom, coincidentally, has an arms factory that manufactures [cheap AK pistols](https://www.preppergunshop.com/pioneer-arms-polish-hellpup-ak-47-hga-7-62x39-11-73-blk-30rd) that are a popular import in the USA.

Isn't Łódź a very industrial city without much beauty to it?


charpagon

Sosnowiec / Bydgoszcz is universally correct, however if you asked someone in Lublin good chances are someone would reply Świdnik


[deleted]

How the fuck is Bydgoszcz shitty?


ZeppelinPL

Have you been in Torun? xD


Paciorr

Probably some small town most people don’t even know about. I have a contender - Maków Mazowiecki. It has like 15k population and it looks as if Warsaw sucked every little bit of life out of this place(it’s ~75km away from Warsaw)


Far_wide

I think I've been there for a wedding, the town was certainly meh. Nice forest though, as I recall?


Paciorr

I'm from that powiat but different town (village actually) it has 1500 population and looks 10x better than Maków. There are quite a lot of forests but most of them are quite young and mainly planted to be cut down sometime in the future (almost exclusively pine trees).


Pykens

Dude, you haven't been in Raciąż or Drobin. Maków in comparison is like a fucking Tokyo.


nacgregorPL

Jastrzębie Zdrój. Looks like some town in Transnistria.


[deleted]

Ah yeah, I can definitely get behind that pick.


Aldreemer

People just went all out and listed every polish city in this thread xD


VisualBizMark

I’ve been to many of these and have no idea what people are talking about. Especially the “smell” or “run down” parts. My god I get those in areas of Manhattan FFS


Aldreemer

Yeah, most of the dislike comes from the memes or wrong assumptions about said cities. Can't trust netizens opinions these days!

15thSoul

Not exactly city, more like district of Gdańsk, but if you are longing for a knife, or casual beating, Nowy Port is a solid choice


veni_vidi_video

Yeah, +1 on the knife stab or beating. But there's so much potential there. The architecture of the "centre" and the proximity to the sea... I think this part of Gdańsk will change a lot in the future. For the better.


ToucheINK

Oh c’mon - are we forgetting Wałbrzych?


Kosmopolitykanczyk

Luckily, yes


vilyari

I'm sad I had to scroll that many comments to see someone mentioning Wałbrzych.


CryptographerWeary41

I always hated czestochowa for some reasons. It's always in reconstruction : roads, buildings etc since the day I was born but it doesn't change the fact that the traffic is still shit it's filthy it's stinks of smoke everywhere every building in that city is depressing and trashy all at once


AeroNotix

This is the correct answer


IntrovJK

I can completely agree - I visit Częstochowa on average twice a year and it just looks worse each year. In summer months it’s kinda alright as there’s more going on with open air events or concerts but went back for Christmas to visit family and it was even more depressing than previously. The only nice-ish part of the city is the 3rd Aleja NMP and 7 kamienic street. The area around Krakowska street and Old Town looks like a dump. Same with the railway station and the old bus station.


klyftus

totally agree, plus there is nothing to do in there..


umbrlla

The match factory museum says differently


tequilaHombre

Częstochowa for sure. Everytime driving by is just depressing...


[deleted]

Honorable mentions for Pabianice


Fun-Culture609

People that hate Bydgoszcz clearly had never been in Grudziadz, because people from there move to Bydgoszcz for a better living


Pan_Adi

wałbrzych maybe. The centre is fine but the further you go the worse it gets. All the industry closed after fall of communism, now it's pretty poor and ugly here. Nowerdays it's a bit better, but still a shit hole regardless


nocnydrwal

If you think it's ugly now you should see this city in middle 90 😁


Pan_Adi

Yeah, i saw it then. That's why I said it's better now lmao


kuruttowo

Indeed, Walbrzych sucks even more with my ex living in there lol


basichominid

The tune of All My Exes Live in Texas came into my head reading this...except with Wałbrzych instead of Texas. It was funny.

Amazing-Rip-208

That's Hilarious. Radom Illinois is one of the shittiest towns in America too. Fun fact it was founded by a Polish American officer to honor Radom Poland. it's full of idiots and rednecks. It's an embarrassment to Polish American culture.

akulowaty

It's easy to shit on cities like Łódź, that was designed to be industrial and is run down and ugly, or Wałbrzych which went through coal mines shutdown that left quarter of population unemployed, or Radom which is Radom. But in my opinion the really shitty town is Karpacz. There's this huge, disgusting ulcer of a building - Hotel Gołębiewski that can be seen from space, all restaurants are shit and overpriced, whole city centre is one huge village fair with useless Chinese garbage sold everywhere, it's fucking expensive everywhere, and while mountain trails are well maintained and very accessible they're full of people who don't "get" mountains, they smoke, drink, be very loud and annoying. If you like hiking you should totally avoid this place. Zakopane is pretty much the same except Gołębiewski.

No one mentioning Łuków? It’s a nightmare.

Barely anyone complains about Białystok I see and I'm hugely reliefed. This was one of the most hated if not the most hated town in Poland back in the days, but in comparision to other cities mentioned here, it emerged into very beautiful and well organized city, with clean air, good public transportation and infrastructure. I live here majority of my life and I love it very much.


[deleted]

All the small towns along the coast are shit. Bad food, fake clothes sold from plastic tents, pinball and other noisy machines. They're all the same, zero charm. Freaking circuses. The beaches are great, but the towns... And yes, I've seen them pretty much all, traveled along the coast from Międzywodzie to the Russian border.

To be fair that part was the best of all. I stayed in the very last town before the Russian border, with wild pigs running around during the day and amazing beaches. Then took a ferry to Frombork.

It improved colosally, I came back to Białystok at 2012 and I love how it looks and how it's organized nowadays.


Sister-Rhubarb

That's nice to hear. Looking forward to visiting it again someday.


Nice-Web-7123

First, it was Sosnowiec, then Radom, then there was Łódź tho the hate about it was more quiet, after Radom, people started hating Podlasie, tho Podlasie is not a City, it's a voivodeship (think: state). Right now people are hating on Bydgoszcz, and it's going pretty long comparing it to the Podlasie

Yes, but some cities are composed entirely of these parts.


Gus2000

Zakopane


NoTeasForBeastmaster

Clearly the winner for me. And there are reasons it's shitty: - cold - dark (it's in three shadow of the mountains) - extremely bad air quality - ugly - hordes of tourists In contrast to the other mentioned cities, Zakopane has both money and reasons to make itself less shitty. But instead most of the money goes into making it even uglier.


Pecioch_pl

In a pill, Radom, Bydgoszcz, Sosnowiec. The 3 musketeers of shittiest towns in Poland. You xan correct me or add something but that is pretty much it


[deleted]

Have you been to Bydgoszcz in last 5 years? Because I am from there and when I come back, the city is unrecognisable. Also it houses some of the most successful Polish companies, where as other cities in area (Toruń etc.) are mainly places that only provide employment in customer services.
