I live in Charleroi and thé city is really ugly, dirty and unsafe compare to other city in belgium but a lot of works are made a this time and it's a bit better than before
I was born in Charleroi. Charleroi was very rich like detroit in the past but since 80's the City become more poor. The rich person or having good job has left the center and moved to around Charleroi (better district) or other City. Since 5 years some works made the city more visually beautiful and a bit better economically. Some futur projects will be continue to Help the City focusing the economically. Charleroi is on working and become better step by step . The reason of what the City has Lost is superb, the guilt is the left Side politics (like democrate in us) and let the City rot since the mine and some Factories has closed and not anticipate the change in economics (economically Change and china (cheaper) etc). For information, since 1 year Charleroi has now his first own unversity int the upper Side of the City,, the second part of the university will be done next year. A City without a university was a Big mistake This city is not the most ugly City in the World or in the eu, look in the east eu, some old City in UK, Africa, Bangladesh, the guetto in usa, some part of los Angeles, Philadelphia... etc this is an old City needs some work that's all Yes if you Want visit Wallonia, Charleroi is not the best but the worst probably of belgium. The center of liège city by far better (waiting the tramvay working end in 2025(you have the boverie parc, montagne de bueren, the Citadel, the historic center, le carré, the Big and long fair in october...). Namur beautiful with a beautiful scenery in the Big ans free access citadel (some events too in Namur like Namur en mai etc), Dinant, Durbuy , la Roche-en-Ardennes, bouillon, Mons, tournai, Huy, barrage de l'eau d'heurre, spa, Rochefort, Malmedy, Ciney (for Noël), pari daiza, landelies abbaye, a lot of castles in wallonia too ... Thanks for your video. But you miss ville 2 the second mall, a some part of the upper side of the center of charleroi (ville haute) but you have shown the essential and stayed neutral without any without any prejudice (saying for example oh most ugly city, see the garbages...) thank you👍
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised by the city after reading it was voted ugliest. I had a slightly longer walk planned but my train there took longer than expected and I would have been late to my flight home, so had to cut it slightly shorter
@@scenicrouteyt Non, il y a des villes plus laides que Charleroi dans le monde : en Angleterre, en Russie, en Roumanie, en Ukraine même avant la guerre, sans oublier des villes du Tiers-Monde comme en Haïti, en Afrique, en Asie... Le procès qui est fait à Charleroi depuis des années est injuste. C'est une ancienne ville industrielle qui a connu ses heures de gloire aux XIXe et XXe siècle. Aujourd'hui, la ville est en transformation et connaît un nouveau souffle... Et comme dans toutes les métropoles, il y a des beaux quartiers et d'autres moins agréables et moins fréquentables...

@LeJoyeuxCarnavaleux I agree with you. I don’t think it’s too bad personally. I’ve definitely visited worse places! However In 2009 readers of the Dutch newspaper De Volksbrant voted Charleroi the ugliest city in the world.
obviously you have not been to marchienne or marcinelle… the city center looks quite nice. but the rest of the city is total crazy. for me its super nice, i like the industrial parts of the city with its huge factories but in some districts you wont like to go outside in the evening and night hours…
for history. Charleroi is a city which experienced its golden age at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century due to coal mines and the metallurgical industry, which made it one of the richest cities in the world. In the 1970s the Belgian government decided to slow down coal production until all mines were completely closed. Today the city has become a fairly poor post-industrial city where petty crime has taken over. Although they are different on many points, we could compare Charleroi with Detroit in the USA. Although local elected officials make numerous investments to beautify the city, it remains the ugliest city in Belgium.
I'm not agree with you, Liege is by far most beautfiul and more touristic Than Charleroi . The liège center city had more beautiful thing have and has a night/evening life (the most and unique wallonia city with night life), look at old church and catheradal, old gothic architecture, tour Near to Meuse River and the marina and boverie Park, historic center, has forum and comedie stand UP and sole théâtre, old théâter, cinémas etc, montagne de bueren, Citadel, beautfiul guillemins gare... Liege is one of the most visited City in wallonia check the source, ok a little couple of little Town and City not good in Liege province like Seraing ougree''. But the center of liège City iş nice, spa, Chaudfontaine, Huy, Stavelot, Malmedy nice too... All of these Are more gorgeous than Charleroi. Yes i like Namur, Namur is very nice and around Namur but Liege is good also dépends of my mood I'm from Charleroi but in prefer Also Mons or Tournai than Charleroi center (Charleroi became Better than previous years of course )

What’s your favourite scenic route?
I thought it looked pretty nice! It has lots of what we lack in the UK - open public spaces/squares!
Yeah I was expecting a lot worse
Ma siete messi malissimo allora da voi per apprezzare un cesso come Charleroi 😮😮😮😮
Saluti da Milano, Lombardia, Italia
compared to Africa, most of Asia (considering slums in each major city out there) and South America this city looks like a heaven
Yeah I think it gets a bad wrap.
I’ve definitely visited worse looking places, probably even just in the UK
@@scenicrouteyt cheers mate have a great day!
You too my friend
Mamma mia mi dispiace x loro povera gente 😮
Anche se Charleroi per me , milanese , lombardo , italiano la trovo una schifezza
I live in Charleroi and thé city is really ugly, dirty and unsafe compare to other city in belgium but a lot of works are made a this time and it's a bit better than before
Cette ville a une âme. J'aime Charleroi.
Yeah it was nicer than I expected.
Doesn’t look too bad to me!
I thought the same thing.
Was voted that in 2009, so maybe been improved since then
I agree!

It doesn't look very different of many cities in the uk???
There’s definitely worse in the UK
Ont fait dire aux images ce qu'on a envie de dire , chaque ville a des côtes moches et délabrés
So you don’t agree it’s the ugliest?

No I haven’t, I personally think Charleroi wasn’t too bad.
I’ve definitely seen worse places
so where are the 'people' causing insecurity? hope someone can give me a timestamp to pinpoint them.
Liege and Namur The City is nice and better!
I’ll be sure to check them out!

That’s interesting to know, thanks.
It may be the ugliest in Belgium but definitely not in the world in my opinion
Its look better now because they did alot of work , Liège is still the worst for me and the best looking for me is Namur.
I haven’t been to either but another visit to Belgium is definitely on my list
I'm not agree with you,
Liege is by far most beautfiul and more touristic Than Charleroi .
The liège center city had more beautiful thing have and has a night/evening life (the most and unique wallonia city with night life), look at old church and catheradal, old
gothic architecture, tour
Near to Meuse River and the marina and boverie Park, historic center, has forum and comedie stand UP and sole théâtre, old théâter, cinémas etc, montagne de bueren, Citadel, beautfiul guillemins gare... Liege is one of the most visited City in wallonia check the source, ok a little couple of little Town and City not good in Liege province like Seraing ougree''. But the center of liège City iş nice, spa, Chaudfontaine, Huy, Stavelot, Malmedy nice too... All of these Are more gorgeous than Charleroi.
Yes i like Namur, Namur is very nice and around Namur but Liege is good also dépends of my mood
I'm from Charleroi but in prefer Also Mons or Tournai than Charleroi center (Charleroi became Better than previous years of course )
Thanks, I will add them to my places to visit next year.
Because it is empty for the space and the dark colors it look awkward
But it still ok i saw wors
Yeah I’ve definitely seen worse
Brutta e cupa e mal tenuta in ogni caso .
Te lo dico da milanese
Capitale del design e moda a livello mondiale !!!!
To set up a market on Sundays
@@Azzsiamoamilano mais putain ta gueule avec ton Milano toi

NEEDS MORE TREES and some organization and LOVE! ♥
Yeah some more greenery would go a long way
@@scenicrouteyt It sure would! ♥
I think they are slowly improving the area
@@scenicrouteyt Good news~! ♥
There are lots of trees, but it was early in the year obviously ! Some were planted last year, give it time to grow. 😊
Uk is worse
Yeah no doubt I’ve been to worse places
Bidon cette ville.
