This was modeled after the Bon Marche in Paris. It's like being able to shop in the Sistine Chapel. Kind of.

This place is stunning and although it's hard to see the clock in the back is really beautiful. The statues beside them are called Gog and Magog.

This opened in 1819 and is still one of the best shopping experiences in London. Love this place.

The stores are a bit iffy, but how gorgeous is the ceiling?

This was built in 1892 and I think I read the wood here is cedar.

Love the curves of this! Not your typical mall at all--they have an antiques store and oxfam boutiques here, too. Really interesting place.

Glorious. I'd be a compulsive shopper if I lived near here.

This was built in 1850 and is one of the most beautiful shopping arcades in the world.

Would love to see this on my next trip to that part of the world. Those sculptures on the sides are amazing!

Stunning Melbourne landmark.

Dying to check this out. I may have to wear a corset as I shop. It's all made of mahogany and marble!

This place is gorgeous. By far the best attraction in Cleveland.

This place gives me chills; the scale of it is just breathtaking. When you're here make sure to press your heel into the bull's private parts--you'll see when you get there. ;)

One of my favorite places in the world. Some incredible stores here, not to mention my favorite hotel of all time, Hotel Chopin.

Vivienne is more refined than most of the other arcades (or passages as they're called there). I miss the grit but I still love it.

One of my favorite spots in town. They even have guards to make sure the level of peace and decorum is maintained.

Haven't been here yet but dying to see it.
