9 Most Breathtaking And Beautiful Train Stations in The World


sdEstacion de Madrid Atocha, Madrid:

A lush tropical garden grows in the main concourse of the Estacion de Atocha in Madrid. It was Madrid's first and largest train station, originally inaugurated in 1851. When a fire destroyed the first building, a glorious, wrought iron station designed by Alberto de Palacio Elissagne, with help from Gustave Eiffel, replaced it. In 1992, a more modern terminal was built adjacent, replacing it as a transit hub.

Passengers traveling through the new terminal can still pass through Atocha Station, which contains shops, cafes and a nightclub.

sdChhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai:

The historic Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was a symbol of Bombay's prestige. Originally known as Victoria Terminus, it was designed by British architect Frederick William Stevens to honor Queen Victoria, Empress of India. The imposing Victorian Gothic Revival station took 10 years to build and was completed in 1888. A fusion of Western and Eastern styles, it was inspired by St. Pancras as well as Indian palace architecture.
