The Royal Galleries are a magnificent example of 19th-century elegance. As early as the 1830s, architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaer was working on this ambitious project, which began in 1846 and was festively opened in 1847.
From the outset, the galleries were a vibrant place where shopping, culture, and relaxation came together. With luxury shops, cozy cafes, restaurants, and even apartments above, they formed a beloved promenade. Visitors came not only to shop but also to see and be seen in a stylish and lively environment.
Now this gallery is still a nice pleasant shopping street.

The Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries in Brussels are a listed shopping arcade dating back to 1847, featuring exclusive boutiques, cafés, restaurants, theaters, and a cinema. It consists of three sections: the King's Gallery (Galerie du Roi), the Queen's Gallery (Galerie de la Reine), and the Princes' Gallery (Galerie des Princes).
Opened in 1847, the shopping arcade was one of the first of its kind in Europe. Its Italian Renaissance-style architecture features a vaulted glass roof and luxurious materials such as marble and brass.
