World's most beautiful railway stations
When you travel in a place, the very first image in your eyes must be the railway station or airport. It's kind of a great signs of the culture you can smell by a city or place.
Grand Central Station: The World’s Most Beautiful Railway Station
Every day between 5.30am and 1.30am, about a half a million of people pass through Grand Central Station located at East 42nd Street and Park Avenue. Opened in 1913, it’s one of the most beautiful and original railway stations in the world. I’ve always been fascinated by airports and railway stations and Grand Central Station is one of the better, if not the best. Even if you don’t have any travel plans, you can come here to just admire the building - the beauty of the place is a real contrast to the busy atmosphere.
