Southern Cross Station, Melbourne, Australia
With a roof that looks something akin to a wave, Southern Cross Station's modern architecture makes it one of
the world's most beautiful train stations. The roof itself
stretches an entire city block and almost looks like a
gigantic air filled blanket hovering over the platforms of
the station. The architecture alone makes this station a
must see.

Antwerp Central Station, Antwerp, Belgium
Antwerpen-Centraal, as it is called in Flemish, is the
central station of Antwerp, Belgium. Widely regarded
as the finest example of railway architecture in the
small country of Belgium, is known for its large iron
and glass vaulted dome that hovers above its main
waiting area. The building's architect, Louis Delacenserie, took influences from many different architectural
styles when designing the station. Today, the building
is still unable to be defined by any one style in particular. At the time it was built it was actually criticized for
its extravagance, due to all the marble it is decorated
with. Extravagant or not, this station is a must-see for
any visitor to Antwerp.

when it comes to what this station has to offer its travelers. The station's main concourse features a lush, covered tropical garden full
of palms, ferns and more, giving its visitors the feeling of being in a
botanical garden. Not to mention an array of stores, cafés and even
a nightclub. Perfect for those who want to party all night and have to
catch an early morning train.
