Budapest Keleti Station

Keleti Train Station is one of Budapest’s busiest transport hubs, offering regular connections to destinations in Austria, Serbia, Romania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The grand 1890s building is flooded with light thanks to the enormous arched window at the entrance. Though a little run-down in places, the station boasts an exquisite old-world restaurant with corinthian columns, chandeliers and marble tables, plus a main hall lined with refined embellishments. It may not be a conventional tourist attraction, but next time you’re passing through, do take the time to admire this most magnificent of layovers.
