The dizzying heights of modernity when it was opened in 1975, Skarbek is (along with Zenit) one of two communist-era shopping centres on Katowice's Rynek, and features two fantastic glass elevators which run the breadth of the building's facade. The good news is you don't have to step inside the bowels of the building to zip up to the top and down again, and though it's not exactly a great view, you gotta get your kicks in this town somehow. Should you venture inside, you'll find a very dated commercial space selling cheap clothes for men and women on the first floor, with cosmetics, household items, toys and school supplies on level two.
