As Galerias do Rei, Rainha e Príncipe de Saint-Hubert (com mais de 200 anos) abrigam butiques caras e antiquadas que vendem uma variedade de acessórios, incluindo luvas, chapéus, bolsas e joias. Em 1837, o rei Léopold I instruiu o jovem arquiteto Jean-Pierre Cluysenaars a transformar a rua Saint-Hubert em um shopping. Esta galeria comercial, dividida em galerias do Rei, Rainha e Príncipe, é hoje considerada uma das mais belas do mundo. Os amantes de chocolate devem visitar Neuhaus (25 Galerie de la Reine) e os fãs de sorvete podem se deliciar no Häagen Dazs localizado perto da entrada frontal da galeria.

Rue Neuve is a narrow shopping avenue that is jam-packed with top notch shops like Morgan, Esprit, H&M and Mango. On weekends, however, this is hardly the place to window shop, as the boisterous crowd of fashionistas and casual shoppers alike pack together for an afternoon of perusing. If you're planning on doing some serious shopping, visit Monday through Friday, when the selection is a little less picked over and the shopkeepers can give you personalized attention.
