Ten historic shopping arcades: Burlington in London, County Arcade in Leeds, Royal and Block Arcades in Melbourne, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Galleria Umberto I in Naples, Passage Pommeraye in Nantes, Galerie Vivienne in Paris, Royal Saint-Hubert Galleries in Brussels and Madler Passage in Leipzig. This selection is not an age or size ranking. The two Melbourne arcades are distinct buildings; the Brussels Queen Gallery counts as part of one Saint-Hubert complex. Whole covered shopping spaces are shown, not isolated shop signs or merchandise. Photographs do not establish current visiting conditions. All photographs carry stated open licenses.
