Well I have a personal distaste for Paris (and really all of France), Oslo has been hit hard by muslims and isn't what it used to be. But probably the eastern euro capitals are the worst, or most people consider them the worst.

(i voted paris just to poke at the french canadians)

Mmm..I wonder if I should answer,..I dont want no one to get offended or something, its just that I think Bucharest shouldnt be capital of Romania. There are so many nice towns there, and clean, with history on the background, not that polluted, and much more nicer. But in my honest opinion, I do not like Bucharest and its one of the worst cities I've been travelling to, unfortunatly. Please do not offend, I just share my experience. Its just that I got impressed about the beauty of some other cities in Romania which deserved to be capital,...much more than this commie building, polluted town and wild dogs on street. :)

I just didnt like it at all..


I share with you few personal landscapes pics I didnt expect to find in downtown Bucharest. The famous ''nice and glam'' street, Lipscani..and some random block of commie flats around center aswell. Do not mention the many attempts on young gypsies to steal my camera omg :D

It depends on what you consider terrible,which probably will please me and disgust you and viceversa.

Sofia, Bucharest, Belgrade, Tirana, Sarajevo. Communist architecture, besides ugly, is depressing.

My vote is limited by the fact that I haven't been to most of the capital cities listed. I've only been to London, Dublin, Belfast, Amsterdam, Paris, Lisbon, Madrid and Rome.

Chisinau looks like Central Asia more than Europe.

Not to mention Moldova has the same HDI as El Salvador or Nicaragua :O

I've heard that London is getting pretty shabby these days.

Yeah, the overflow of lower class immigrants didn't help.

Just to introduce a straight amendment to my vote:

Which capital city? Madrid.
Which capital city is the most terrible? Barcelona. :D

Maybe not, but it's full of Serbs.

Chisinau - I remember when the Moldovan parliament was stormed and set alight, Guy Fawkes had that idea in England - a few centuries ago. Its an ugly city with no purpose, the whole nation has no purpose and should be annexed by Romania.
Dublin - Incredibly boring and dull. Its just like a provincial city in the UK, dull, wet and uniniteresting, lacking the architecture and scale of a real European capital like London, Paris, Berlin or Amsterdam
Cardiff - see Dublin
Berlin - the declining outskirts
London - Tower Hamlets and Notting hill festival :rolleyes2:
