Antwerp’s central station is the world’s most beautiful station. Up ahead, turrets frame a dome above a grand hall finished in marble, glass, and gold. But this isn’t another European cathedral. You've arrived at Belgium’s Antwerp Central Station.

This monstrous railway station features four separate levels of trains. Its beauty is so unique, experts have difficulty assigning it an architectural style.Antwerp beats, among others, Pancras station, London and New York's Old Hall City station.

When travelling by rail, a beautiful station can turn a commute or a cross-country trip into a downright pleasant experience.

Most people do not associate their public transportation with a work of art, but there are places across the globe that take you into another world before your train even leaves the station.
