Galeries St-Hubert

When opened in 1847 by King Léopold I, the glorious Galeries St-Hubert formed Europe’s very first shopping arcade. Many enticing shops lay behind its neoclassical glassed-in arches, flanked by marble pilasters. Several eclectic cafés (bars) spill tables onto the gallery terrace, safe from rain beneath the glass roof. The arcade is off Rue du Marché aux Herbes.
