Warsaw may not be a beautiful city in the traditional sense of the word, but it is an exciting and vibrant place. Built from the ashes in the 1950s, it was constructed with communist ideals and new technological developments in mind. The streets are broad and make for a lot of traffic, while residential buildings rise in the sky surrounded by a surprising amount of green. Since the 90s, Warsaw has been the undisputed capital of capitalism in Poland, so many new skyscrapers have been built since then. Nowadays, the communist and capitalist structures form an interesting, although at times contradictory, symphony.
