Passage du Nord
Between Rue Neuve and Boulevard Adolphe Max in Brussels, there is a covered arcade from the 19th century called the Passage du Nord. One of the city's most opulent and historic shopping centers. It is notable for its architecture as well as its shopping appeal, with a glass canopy and Baroque statuary.
Those with the means can shop along the Passage for upscale designer brands like Burberry, Hugo Boss, Giorgio Armani, Calvin Klein, and Versace. Nineteen stores can lay claim to this renowned site. The tiny, lovely tunnel is a chocolate lover's paradise because it is home to some incredible chocolate shops as well as other unique little stores that sell jewelry, luggage, clothes, etc. A benefit of visiting this location is undoubtedly its excellent architecture.
Since 1993, Passage du Nord has been on the National Register of Historic Places in order to preserve the remaining original architectural elements. The listing safeguards the building's floor, glass roof, shopfronts, and interior and external facades. Any anticipated work must therefore adhere to the original guidelines and plans. Any activity that alters the building's listed elements requires the Royal Belgian Commission for Historic Monuments and Sites in the Brussels Capital Region's approval.
