Europe's most beautiful train stations: a journey through the wonders of architecture
Some stations in Europe are real architectural gems that are worth taking a break from the rush to find the right track to appreciate their beauty.
Omio, the online platform that allows you to search for and book train journeys throughout Europe, has compiled a list of them:
LONDON ST. PANCRAS
It is impossible to remain insensitive to the charm of this London station with its resolutely Victorian style, whose construction dates back to the 1860s. This masterpiece of neo-Gothic architecture is located between the new British Library and King's Cross station. Did you know that...? The imposing facade and superb bell tower earned her an appearance in the movie "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", where, a little funny detail, she lends her face to the nearby station, King's Cross. If you take the Eurostar, take care to take into account the time required for security checks and customs formalities before departure.

MADRID ATOCHA
Located in the heart of the Spanish capital, Madrid Atocha is a small architectural wonder that stands out for its bold cast iron and glass roof structure. Built between 1888 and 1892, this Madrid station is part of the Jugendstil period, a modernist art movement dating back to the end of the 19th century. This railway jewel is the work of Basque architect José Rafael Moneo who, at the height of the decline, decided to build a luxurious tropical garden in the centre of the station. If you have the opportunity, don't hesitate to plan your working appointment at Samarkanda, whose setting of refined exoticism is as sumptuous as the painting.
And it is in this splendid European capital that Gesa Industry has brought its productive know-how to improve passenger comfort.
With the realization of the modern interior fittings of the Madrid Metro, Gesa Industry has been able to provide the basic elements for a sure success: the refinement of the materials, the correct interpretation of the project and the unmistakable production of an all-Italian process. A contribution that has favoured the optimal configuration of the interior spaces and greater protection and comfort for passengers.
