When Arkadia opened in Warsaw's Zoliboz neighborhood, we all thought this was it - the mother of all shopping centres, and nothing could top it. Well, we humbly admit we were wrong and the Poles have surprised us again, this time with the architecturally elaborate "Golden Terraces" (Zlote Tarasy). Granted, Arkadia is still almost twice as big size-wise, but style-wise, Zlote Tarasy has got almost any other shopping centre beat - from the moon crater-like roof which opens its view to central Warsaw, to its perfect location right smack in the middle of the city. The shops inside are of the normal European shopping centre variety - from H&M to a giant Saturn - but you don't have to come for the shopping, the views are enough to satisfy any aesthete.
