What is the most beautiful train station in Europe?

Probably Antwerp Centraal made the biggest impression on me, combining the grandiose XIXth century building and shed with the impressive triple-level layout.

I also like those massive modern Clatrava arches like Liège-Guillemins, with the glass throwing colorfoul shade patches on the platforms. Belgium really has a contrast between some beautiful new or rebuilt stations and many horrendous old ones.

I also liked some of the massive London termini I recently discovered : King’s Cross, Paddington and of course St Pancras, akin to (but cleaner than) Paris Nord and Austerlitz.

Great picks ​@Joris68 ! That triple-level layout at Antwerp Centraal feels like stepping into a time-traveling masterpiece, and those Calatrava arches at Liège-Guillemins are super cool, too. Thanks for sharing! 😀

There are so many I would hesitate to choose, but Tours town station has to be high on the list. Quite small, but the main hall has some delightful murals and the outside facade is more like a temple than a railway station. 

I would vote for Lisbon Oriente and also Antwerp.

Possibly controversial, but Gare du Nord & Gare de l’Est in Paris - beautiful in their own strange ways, but also romantic because of the various trains I took from there as a teenage interrailer in the 1980s.

There are plenty of nice stations. The big impressive ones, but you have also very cute small ones. So I’m picking a niche smaller one 😁

A small station still recall is “Wemyss bay”, in Scotland. On the interior lots of steel and glass arches, curved shapes and nice colours. It’s nice and bright and lot’s of nice flowers.

A part of the station that extends over the sea into a ferry terminal. On the exterior it has a cute clocktower and it just looks very welcoming, warm and cosy yet giving a adventurous travel vibe.
