The city itself is dreadful, don't go near it with a bargepole. It's the dictionary definition of 'arse end of nowhere' - though the countryside nearby is unbelievably beautiful.

In other words, don't go there unless you have no other choice ;)

Honestly, I have been looking at the Białystok photo gallery online and the city doesn't look that bad. Many friends of mine have also been there and they liked the appearance of the city, mostly noting how clean it was with a mix of some interesting architecture. Some tell me it's an underrated city, on par with the likes of Katowice. Others tell me it's "undiscovered" and has plenty to offer. Perhaps I will go there some time and see for myself.

I lived there when I was young and went back last year. I have a lot of family that lives there. It's not one of the best cities but I think it's very beautiful in the summer and early fall. Once it gets gray that's when it becomes kind of depressing. All Saint Parish is very close to my family condo. Sarah if you want to visit Bialystok you go for it and don't listen to some of these ignorant people.
