Gorgeous arcade
Located just a stone’s throw from Grand Place, you will likely not fail to stumble upon this arcade if you’re exploring the surrounding pedestrianized shopping area. The first thing that strikes you is the gorgeous one-point perspective of the entire gallery, with the resplendent glass-paned roof arching over rows of impressive shop facades on both sides. The shopping arcade has an array of cafes and exclusive stores, but even if you’re not there for shopping, it’s worth just gawking over the gallery to admire its architecture.

Elegant mid 18th-century shopping arcade in Brussels
Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert (Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries) is a delightful shopping arcade between Rue de Bouchers and Rue de l'Ecuyer in central Brussels. The arcade was designed by Belgian architect J.P. Cluysenaar in 1847 and is an elaborate display of rich Italian Renaissance architecture and style. This is a lovely venue to do a bit of chocolate shopping, to grab a coffee or just browse to enjoy the charms of the mid 19th century which are on full display inside. Each shop has an elegant facade while glass and steel ceiling allows good lighting and photo taking within. There are lamp posts above the shops which provide soft lighting in the evening, coupled with having less crowds later on, makes this a great spot for stroll later in the day as well.
