Nyugati railway station – a real treasure box

The Nyugati Station was the first in Budapest and is still a very busy one. The present building was built in 1874-77 on the site of the original station of 1846. It was designed by the firm of Gustave Eifel; the iron roof-structure of the great hall is a characteristic feature of it’s architecture. Since the the “Nyugati Palyaudvar” also includes an underground station, a stop for the tram no. 4 and 6 and a bus hub, it’s easily accesible from every part of the city. The square in front of the building is also a major meeitng place!
