Historical building smaller than the Queen Victoria Building, but more quaint and nicer in my humble opinion. Nice cafes and shops and love the natural light coming through.

Very cool, but very crowded, space. Restrooms hard to find, not well signed.
Louie W Ong
The best arcade to play tourist in the city. Aesthetically pleasing, taking you back to nostalgic moments while enjoying a nice cup of coffee. May I recommend Gumption Coffee by Coffee Alchemy, it is absolutely the best and most consistent. I loved the decor especially around Christmas time.

Where history meets modern retail trends. Great little shops and cafes on ground level. Many people just stay on ground level missing out of the fashion icons on upper levels. Oh best part; couches on upper levels for husbands

Historical building converted into shopping mall, rather similar to QVB, although a bit smaller. Good place to take photos as well. Shop wise a good mix of fashion + beverages.
