Nyugati
Although the striking Nyugati railway station was built over a century ago, today it looks just as impressive as on the day of its grand opening. Nyugati is one of three Budapest train stations, named after the points of the compass, its name meaning "West" in Hungarian. The striking steel-and-glass building was designed by the Gustave Eiffel Company, famously responsible for the eternal symbol of Paris, the majestic Eiffel Tower. The Nyugati train station is among the oldest terminals in Budapest, offering a vast number of domestic and international routes.
