After seeing the Sagrada Familia once again, I can say wholeheartedly that no other building I've ever seen is nearly as mindblowing.

A fantastic building.

Any city in the world would love to have such a building.

Can't wait for it to be finished. Will go there again immediately.

Valencia Train Station is beautiful at first glance, and also in all its finely designed details. I love that last photo.Thanks.

This doesn't really compete with Valencia Station, and even less with the Sagradia Familia, but it is unusual. After all, how often does a city need to build a public elevator to take people from one street to the next? In Salvador de Bahía, the Brazilians solved the problem in style with the Lacerda Elevator:-

As for the train stations I’ve been to I think Kyoto Station impressed me the most

Prefer Grand Central.

Looks like something you'd find in Europe. Incredible.

It’s such a contrast from right outside it’s surreal
