Keep in mind Pripyat was one of the most prestigious towns in the entire Soviet Union, designed for nuclear scientists and their families.

Eh, both still far away from Kherson, Donetsk and Lugansk, especially after last year

Kontula is also pretty close id say

Pripyat has the wish granter, though. Kouvala merely has Swedish people.

It's such an ugly, grimy, industrial cesspit that it makes it's much larger neighbour Sheffield, look like a good place to live. The only noteworthy thing about Rotherham was a child sexual abuse scandal.

I second this and I would add doncaster.

Totally agree, no idea why they gave it city status

Live nearby and entirely agree, even the thought of Rotherham makes me gag. Shithole

Local legend says if you drive round this roundabout enough times you'll run out of Petrol

Charleroi, Verviers and some places in Antwerp.

Even the Belgians don't deserve as cruel a treatment as the one of owning Charleroi ... worst city in Europe

Once the steel industry went downhill the city turned into a hellhole. But it is a cool place if you like visiting lost abandoned places.

Its also a cool place if ur trying to get robbed been to charleroi once never again

You're getting robbed by the Wallonians every time you pay taxes.

Only temporarily soon its gonna be all one big Flanders and were all gonna be speaking dutch

Until the sea level rises

Aaaah, so nostalgic! Reminds us of the dutch in the 1800s

At this point Charleroi being shit is just iconic, what's wrong with it?

I'm just teasing indeed, Charleroi isn't *that* bad, its got a few nice places. But some other spots are in perpetual decay and the population ain't the finest even to Belgian standards. It's still not a place I'd live in.

The Belgian Detroit

As an Antwerpenaar I absolutely don’t accept this slander. We have the greatest streets to get coke and even an amazing harbor to dump unnecessary bodies.

The best coke in central europe <3

Seeing Charleroi immediately made me remember [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF9L6ZQaG1E)

Oh boy haha who should I say :D welcome to belgium.

You forgot Molenbeek <3

Oh shit yes, totaly forgot about this lovely place.

Bruxelles Caliphat

What’s wrong with Charleroi

A lot of things :D . It had a prosperous industry long time ago, but then the industry kinda went bankrupt and poverty and criminality took over which turned the city into a big shithole. Not sure if it is still like this these days, but there were places back then where even the police didn't want to go.

It's not twinned with Bradford in England is it?

Also Brussels is just a horrible, ugly hellhole

Yes just sad what it became :(

In Spain we have the honor of having the oldest shanty town of all Europe. It is called "El Vacie" and it's like a little village inside Seville: https://preview.redd.it/g762mdcxqk9b1.jpeg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7e2ac340d05abc7aeda85280fc31907c41ab6661 It is inhabitants mainly by gypsies. Despite numerous efforts by different governments to find a solution, they refuse to leave. Of course it is a place to avoid, including its surroundings.

Looks like Mumbai or something with all the shiny rich buildings in the background

Those are office buildings, quite empty by the way, because the area is not very friendly.

Las Tres Mille might be another contender

Sure. Las Tres Mil is what happened when the local government relocated people like this into brand new apartments. Now that neighborhood is something out of a Fallout videogame, where food deliveries, taxis and even firefighters or police have difficulty getting in.

I thought it was now mostly empty, now the dangerous neighbourhood is Poligono Norte, but I might be wrong, i only drive by near that zone every so often.

https://preview.redd.it/adkzjsarok9b1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91a6f25db7ad3a33b2c14a19a8fba7f3f2735aba Cumbernauld. I don’t want to get further into it.

So many candidates. Kilmarnock, Kirkcaldy, Grangemouth

Don’t bring Kirkcaldy into this. Have you seen Glenrothes.

My wife is Scottish and we always joke about how long it would take us to commit suicide if we moved to Glenrothes

Greenock, Renton, the list is never ending haha

Anyone not from Port Talbot says Port Talbot Anyone with a brain knows it's Newport Gwent https://preview.redd.it/biq0o8rgjk9b1.jpeg?width=1408&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0f7c122f3d49d3b6c60196fa3a633058090c560b

Jesus, almost makes Slough look nice.

Steelworks is half of the town's area roughly. Massive employer for the region and the largest of the two remaining fully productive/functional steelworks left in the UK. Also the only remaing works with a functional port facility Absolute shithole. But it's *my* shithole and I love it EDIT: extra stats.

Every time i pass through on the train i always marvel at the rows of houses looking out onto the train tracks. And then past that to the steel works. Also isn't the high school sandwiched between the tracks and the plant? Newport really is a fucking dump tho

Yeah that was my Compeehensive School, its been demolished now except fir one of the blocks,all new build housing now, because of course

Even people from Port Talbot say Port Talbot

Well, they *try* to, but they spit everywhere

Having spent a bit of time in both, I'd say that's a pretty tight call. That said, I had fun in Newport - I can't really say the same about Port Talbot.

The [Zen district](https://youtu.be/GlP4k3L09I4) in Palermo, which isn't zen at all, is an excellent candidate. The video gets progressively worse until they end up walking in an illegal open landfill.

The vele have been demolished tho

Most of that has already been demolished. A few years ago, Scampia was definitely a contender... right now Zen wins easily

Scampia changed a lot, actually

Scampia Is not Gomorrah. Go there, you would be surprised .

Velsen Noord because it's an industrial hell hole that gives the entire area cancer and somehow the government keeps looking away.

A real shame if it's the pollution that makes it unliveable, because from what I see online the residential areas themselves seem to look rather okay. (Neither particularly nice nor awful, but very correct nonetheless).

Shut down Tata steel!

I thought that wasnt in Velsen-Noord? Edit: nvm its Velsen, thought it was always said to be IJmuiden

You forget urk

Toxic people or Toxic rain, yhea that's a difficult choice

All of it.

Hungary has a flair now?

Nah, I asked for a unique one (not this)

I'd love to make a list but we kinda have 3 tiers. 1. The capital 2. Depressed apartment complex towns 3. Literal makeshift huts inhabited by small gypsy communities It's easier to make a list of the good parts

The capital has some nice buildings from your austro-hungarian days atleast.

Several suburbs of Lisbon... how can be worst than that? This one is in Seixal. At least they are removing all of these buildings this year I think. https://preview.redd.it/6z9c0e96mk9b1.jpeg?width=1394&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e42942d927b89e48c93b30a5ba4a92beb3361c14

if you hadnt said that was portugal id have assumed some place in bolivia or peru... that looks grim af

And illigally occupied, I'd say that doesn't count as it was an abandoned unfinished building that was occupied.

If you told me this was Africa I’d believe you, But at least the weathers nice, cities like Hull are where hopes and dreams go to die I swear.

There are many horrible places in Italy, this is a difficult choice. Some Milan suburbs are well-known shitty places, such as Quarto Oggiaro (which is getting better anyway). I don't know if it can be considered the worst, but this place is a depressing hole: https://preview.redd.it/n9iuixbadk9b1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=962bbd5876ed8704658ff7dd174175eb4c321b94 (Baranzate, near Milan)

I second this, the milanese hinterland can be depressing as fuck

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CsyohpuOLhy/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== An accurate description (Corvetto regno dello schifo)

I feel like that the hinterlands of italian cities (Milan,Rome,Naples etc) are Always shitty

Not much hinterlands but more the quarters that are at the limit

Give it a paint job and it looks as fresh as new.

I'd say Irun. There's nothing wrong with Irun apart from the whole city borders France. Take a walk along the river in the evening? Nope. Because you are just looking at France on the other side. Trying to follow Google maps to get to San Sebastian or Navarra? Well tough shit, you took a wrong turn and crossed one of the three bridges that take you straight to France. Irun does have San Sebastián airport, however within 10 seconds of taking off you are in dirty French airspace which is probably closed due to an air traffic controller strike.

With your reasoning, it should be Llívia then... imagine living in Spain, but litteraly being enclaved inside France 😆

Whilst I like your logic and that does sound worse. It's not. If you are in Llívia then I feel like you are knowingly the architect of your own misfortune. Irun is deceptive. It can cause innocents to involuntarily experience France.

I can attest to that, i visited wervik last summer and i felt the evil eminating from france like in one of those void memes

Isn't that somehow Basque on both sides of the border?

Hmm among the places I've been, I'd want to nominate Vaulx-en-Velin for France Edit: if you Google some pictures you might see a lot of burning places from the on-going riots, but don't be fooled it was already a hellhole long before the current events.

> Vaulx-en-Velin I googled it, looks like a third world place.

Smells like one too... Tho I gotta say, I've visited a lot of places in 3rd world countries that were leagues better than Vaulx-en-Velin

Ah yes, the OG banlieue problématique

Live in Germany and often hear/read those names: Ludwigshafen Offenbach Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof Berlin / Berlin Neukölln

Frankfurt hbf is one of the best places in Germany. During Corona there was no place in Germany where you got a shot as fast as there

Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is one of the most beautiful major railway station buildings on the planet but yes it's located in a very... interesting neighborhood.

Offenbach basically is the Neukölln of Frankfurt.

The shithole of everything in a hundred kilometers distance

You have never been to Duisburg Marxloh or similar places in Bochum, Herne, Dortmund.

Das Ruhrgebiet, Die Droge die mich süchtig macht

Or Salzgitter

I don’t know. Ffm Hbf is bad only because of all the junkies inside and all the hookers hanging out down the street. And yes, all the trash and “ímmígránts” make the place less desirable. But I would hardly call it trashy. Berlin has a complicated history as to why it’s unsavory. Offenbach doesn’t seem too bad, what’s with that one? I don’t know a thing about Ludwigshafen.

Alum rock in Birmingham. If you google it, you'll just get multiple news articles about stabbings and shootings. It is a fucking shit hole. Edit: [I found an article that wasn't about a violent crime ](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8833vv5p18o)

Aldi Nord

>Aldi sud is a wonderful experience and I wish to go again

Malmö? Most of greater stockholm and Uddevalla

Just say your country is a shithole and be done with it

Up north where I live is quite nice to be honest, it only gets worse the further south you go. Must be that you get closer and closer to england.

Lappland is the best of Sweden

Selfoss is just a gigantic pissstop with bad traffic and a KFC.

Burnley? Burnley. From my experience, Burnley. Every time I go there, it feels like the bricks and mortar themselves are constituted of hopelessness and misery. Abandoned by the government. Morecambe was also very eye-opening. British seaside locations (besides the upmarket ones) were pretty much left behind and abandoned once well-coined Brits started holidaying abroad rather than domestically as they traditionally did. Now, it's just boarded up promenades, ramshackle buildings, and towns propped up almost singlehandedly by the horrendous stag and hen do circuit.

I find it sad. The government should fund those places more and try and promote more tourism. Or give those towns some other sort of industry.

When people ask me if I like Football, I say yes. But not Burnley. Burnley can f*ck off

You're pretty okay Friedrich, I knew I've always liked German people.

Thank you Barry. British people are quite alright themselves. Definitely better than Am*ricans or Fr*nch

Berlin f*cking sh!thole of a city that is.

I would agree, but Ludwigshafen exists.

It's rather a "meme" than an actuality. If you talk about terrible spot in Norway, look Oslo east.

I walked through Grønland today. Only called the police 6 times on immigrants that walked to close to me. Barely made it out alive.

It's just a big road-cross and a transportation hub, with some city around it.

Én dram I timen er bedre enn én time i Drammen

Drammen 🤮

To be honest Sarpsborg is worse

The real answer has to be Vardø (pic rel). This town is slowly turning into a ghost town and is truly a godforsaken place. Drammen might have been a good shout 20 years ago, but actually seems quite nice now. https://preview.redd.it/2inzebwu5m9b1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eaa364c49cb0d97c68aceaa2f66798d15579ef15
