The Gallerie Reali San'Uberto, or the Royal Saint Hubert Galleries, are a must-see in Brussels. Constructed in 1837 by Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar and measuring 200 meters long, it is the oldest covered commercial gallery in Europe! The galleries are divided into three sections: the Queen’s Gallery, the King’s Gallery and the Prince's Gallery, which each feature stunningly adorned storefronts, filled with jewellery, chocolate, clothing, restaurants and bars. On top of this, the galleries boast an impressive glass dome which floods the ground with natural light. It connects the historical center of Brussels with a more modern area making it the perfect hotspot for tourists wanting to explore both the traditional and modern day city. Don't forget your camera – there are definitely some great photo ops here!
