Royal Arcade was built in 1869 and is the city's oldest shopping arcade and has an airy, graceful elegance. See the statues of Gog and Magog, the mythical monsters that toll the hour on either side of Gaunt's Clock.
The Block Arcade runs between Collins Street and Elizabeth Street, and is Melbourne’s principal shopping arcade built in 1891. The grandest arcade of them all, it has huge ceiling murals and intricate mosaic floors.
The Little Collins Street laneway entrance to the Block Arcade is now home to lots of small colourful cafes and coffee shops. There are lots of other arcades that I don't have images of .. yet.
