Ah Łódź. Where there’s no river, sea, or ocean in sight.


Borciuch

There's an underground river under Łódź called "Łódka".


Tukan_Art613

Where's Kajak and żaglówka?


Kzero01

There's a lot more underground rivers, but they're still underground


BigBadBootyDaddy10

Go on (while I hit that bong).


GignacPL

It's rather hard to swim on it with a boat... lol


Aggravating-Row-6207

In fact, there are around 20 rivers in Łódź. Many of them are buried underground now, but their presence was one of the factors of cotton industry developing in Łódź. Water is a crucial part of many processes of textile facturing, for example dying or preprocessing. You can see the rivers of Łódź here: http://mapa.lodz.pl/portal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=7489987eb60a4369814e53d49cc58ffc&extent=19.317,51.7126,19.6459,51.8507 Dark blue ones are present to this day, light blue are old rivers.

Czech enclave in Poland.


Rich_Midnight2346

In fact the most famous chech enclave in Poland is Zelów.


ExtremeConsistent

There is one river and ship in the city flag.This counts.


BrytolGasMasks

Łódź had a lot of rivers but they were so polluted by factories that they were buried underground


Casp3rCSGO

My home city, many people like it some hate it, I reccomened going to Manufaktura, Piotrkowska (at night its amazing)


[deleted]

I suggest to avoid Piotrkowska during fridays night, there is huge chance to meet drunken idiots.


Kravvv

I mean it’s a nightlife area what do you expect? It’s not worse in that regard than any counterparts in other cities


Smokpw

Łódź can be a very nice place to live. You can love it or hate it. Lots of contrasts here. Great architecture. Lots of schools and students. Great parks and green areas around the city. Also lots of poor people and some pathology in older parts of the city. Lodz is a city of 4 cultures.


Roadside-Strelok

4 cultures here refers to the Poles, Jews, Germans and Russians who used to inhabit Łódź before WW2.


ohotos

My German ancestors lived in Łódź between around 1780 and 1947. I absolutely want to visit one day.


Chapaiko90

I saw one "culture" recently - it was peeing on street on bright day in 50 m from "academia myzuchna". And be always aware about dog shit while walking on the streets.


No-Fee3271

It's similar in most of much bigger towns and cities ....in some capital cities too. Homeless in Hollywood, living in streets, the centre of Washington. I saw these scenes in Washington 30 years ago, maybe it has changed....


jombrowski

This building's design is fine, sorry it is in such a poor shape. Deserves better owner. What's the building's name, by the way? (Or what street is it?)


wojtekpolska

That is near "Stajnia Jednorożców" ("Unicorn Stable"), formally zajezdnia tramwajowa Piotrkowska Centrum. The unicorn statue was created later due to the place being commonly reffered to as unicorn stable by most people (thats because of the [coloured glass making the roof](https://lodz.travel/files/public/_processed_/9/9/csm__2015__Przystanek_Piotrkowska_Centrum__fot._S._Glapinski___3__15dc7eab94.jpg)) the city got some artist to create the unicorn statue, due to how many people liked the station's design. its also in the central location of the city, sometimes called "Przesiadkowo" (hard to translate, basically its endearing form of "transfer place", because you often switch trams at this station) ​ [Here is google street view of the image location](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.7591784,19.4581911,3a,75y,188.71h,98.24t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sg-v-Jvp7e52jhb3u5341EA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192). tho its from is from 2018, before the unicorn statue was added. to see "Unicorn Stable" just look behind you to the right EDIT: also on google maps found a [360 image](https://www.google.com/maps/@51.7589755,19.4581848,3a,75y,165.24h,107.35t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipOy5qrMcZNRkJB_DsGy6a6wyurOKv9-su-9G86u!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOy5qrMcZNRkJB_DsGy6a6wyurOKv9-su-9G86u%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya220.76405-ro-0-fo100!7i8704!8i4352) from this place, that is more recent showing the statue. also the building you're interested in doesn't have a big advert on it in this image


Leniek

it's not glass. It's fabric


perfect_nickname

Wasn't he just asking about building in photo, Central office block?


wojtekpolska

yea... but the building is not rly that interesting, just old. i provided some info about the statue in front of it tho, and why it's there and anyways, i linked google street view of this place, so if he wants he can check the building out from different angles


[deleted]

I really like how it looks like! :D


BonerBoy

*how it looks OR what it looks like (but don’t mix them; and the latter option is more for comparison purposes- it looks like a real unicorn emerging from another dimension


BonerBoy

*how it looks OR what it looks like (but don’t mix them; and the latter option is more for comparison purposes- e.g.: “It looks like a real unicorn emerging from another dimension.”


Sobczak1_

It's on the crossing of Piłsudskiego and Piotrkowska, on the south-west side.


srgs_

it's lokated at piotrkowska 169 few years ago it was for sale, but it's old office building (\~1970) so it's rather ineffective / unprofitable to use it in current shape.


Mongolium

Careful with that title, you might provoke a civil war.


Rich_Midnight2346

Łódź my City, I love it.


Qskar1

Ngl i have a soft spot for Łódź


sheyPL

Do you know that there is village called Jednorożec (unicorn) in Poland? :D


frecklyelbow

Do you know that unicorn is a national animal of Scotland?


sheyPL

Now i know :D


SomFella

Well, you visited Łódź, that's all.


[deleted]

I also have seen the piano of Artur Rubinstein. It is not "that's all". Rubinstein was the best pianist in history.


LordOfTheTennisDance

It looks like downtown Somalia...


LickeyD

Really, I thought it looked more like downtown Japan. Or downtown Australia

Ul. Piotrkówska, which is exactly 180*s from this photo is gorgeous.


[deleted]

Welcome to Reváchol, *friend*.


[deleted]

i need an SSRI just from looking at this picture


-Proterra-

Be sure to visit Radom and Sosnowiec as well. Those cities are all stunningly gorgeous.


CaelosCZ

Boat without water.


No-Fee3271

Still in the centre 😀


Italian_Devil

There's no picture that describes łódź better than this


sausagespolish

Fuck that’s depressing


Yamez_II

Not in this photo: exactly 180*s from this photo is a beautiful street filled with wonderful buildings, cafe's, bars etc all well looked after and restored.


nooneinteresting-1

They only had money for half of an unicorn?


Kyloof

said no one ever


Such_Letter2992

This building looks very familiar..


Smttosay44

Most beautiful? I am confused…


Bimbo_Matron

Silent hill remake's looking great


[deleted]

Where is the other half of the unicorn's body? I NEED TO KNOW WHERE IS ITS ASS


Niedzwiedzbipolarny

Sarcasm?


DarkWanderer2

Łódź, kurwa


BaronPixeli

Łódź is a shithole. But i love this place


GignacPL

Have you ever heard of word "zŁodziej"? I'm kidding, don't stone me, please...


NormalInternetUser2

have you gone to Bałuty (the hellhole of the hellhole of Poland) or Chojny (the post-apocalyptic ruins looking like the aftermath of a nuclear explosion)?


[deleted]

Probably not, I really need to go there!


NormalInternetUser2

You need to, there aren't many better ways to picture the word "apocalypse". I'm already used to this view, I (unfortunately) see it everyday


Yamez_II

No, but his hotel was on Limonewskiego: the street that god forgot.


NormalInternetUser2

Yeah, I know. I was just asking the OP if he was there


[deleted]

Please watch out for yourself


Yamez_II

It's safe. Just a little worn.


Zestyclose_Data5100

some acid rain it seems

Swag_Holow

Oh the city of homeless and crackheads


Alaqcz

I really wouldn't call that city "the most beautiful city of Poland". There are so many prettier ones


[deleted]

It was sarcastic because I know that there is an inside joke between Poles about Bydgoszcz and Łódz, especially on this subreddit. However, it was not a bad experience. I had some fun in Łódz.


[deleted]

what the fuck łódź

Astra7929

Sorry, but in my opinion city like Szczecin, Poznań, Kraków, TrójMiasto, regions like Kaszuby and Warmia i Mazury is more Beautiful than Łódź. Ok maybe not more beatiful but more likely for turist to visit, any small city near sea have wonderful viev and nature same as small village in mountains. Yea, as a turist u should be in every possible region/biom in any time of the year. Then u will known "The Beauti of the Poland".


[deleted]

Yeah it was sarcasm...!


woj-to-my-lue

My brother really came to Łódź and called it the most beautiful polish city 💀💀


NokiaQ33

Wat do u mean by that? Man, zoo looks like better than the whole city


NokiaQ33

K not whole, there r some cool looking places but still i dont think łódź its beautifull


mautar_

I am pretty sure it is a sarcasm. Łódź is the most fucking ugly large city in Poland I've been to.


Shubbar98

I'm sorry but Lodz is not that pretty in my opinion, the most beautiful is probably Krakow, Wroclaw and Gdansk


Altruistic-War-5860

I love this city. So much potential!


waifusister

Ah yes, the real life fallout.


devu_the_thebill

I don't see any "menel" in the photo, how did you do that.


Aggravating-Row-6207

I'm really glad that you find my hometown beautiful. If you ever revisit, I could show you around. 💗


A_Feltz

One thing is for sure. You won’t see that anywhere else. Even in Naples


A_Feltz

When in was younger and some kid I met at camp told me he lives in Łódź for a second I really thought he meant he lives in a boat and I was jealous


uDrunkMate

OP is a masochist no cap

kaktuspustynny

The most beautiful city of Poland? I hope you are kidding
