Warsaw is the biggest city in Poland and contributes about 12% to Poland's total income. Warsaw gained the title of the "phoenix city" because it has survived so many wars, conflicts and invasions throughout its long history. During World War II 85% of buildings were destroyed but today the city is considered an Alpha global city, a major international tourist destination and a significant cultural, political and economic hub. Warsaw's economy, by a wide variety of industries, is characterized by FMCG manufacturing, metal processing, steel and electronic manufacturing and food processing. Many global companies are building branches, offices and headquarters in Warsaw. With even less than 3% unemployment rate, the city is home to major universities, high-end malls, government seats, churches and some of Europe's tallest buildings. The Warsaw Stock Exchange is one of the largest and most important in Central Europe. Buildings are representatives of nearly every European architectural style and historical period. Warsaw has wonderful examples of architecture from the gothic, renaissance, baroque and neoclassical periods and around a quarter of the city is filled with grand parks and royal gardens.
