Palace of Culture & Science, Warsaw

    The Stalin regime post World War II gifted its eastern European satellite states each with a tall building in the Soviet "wedding cake" style. The Palace of Culture & Science in Warsaw, Poland, is the second tallest building in the country, and the seventh tallest in Europe. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been intense debate as to whether these buildings should be torn down, or left as a reminder of that period.

    Question: What's the best place to see Warsaw from?
    Answer: From the top of the Palace of Culture: because from there, you can't see the Palace of Culture.
