As an underground entity, those who design train stations have a choice; they can be relatively plain and boring, such as many subway stations in NYC.

Or they can turn the space into a work of art.

A man named James Lewis appears to love arts and culture. His presence on Twitter (currently known as X) has photo after photo of beautiful, artistic places in the world where you wouldn’t necessarily expect to see beauty. We’re talking bridges, a 2,400 year old mosaic in Türkeye, a Roman mosaic found under an Italian vineyard.

The most beautiful train stations in the world

Sometimes, Lewis will do a thread in relation to the art he appreciates. Surreal archeological discoveries. Real life locations that inspired famous paintings. Artwork discovered in Pompeii. You get the point.

But a couple of weeks ago, Lewis caught my attention with his thread of “the most beautiful metro stations on Earth.” They are indeed gorgeous.

Wait! There are even more!

That’s 10. There are 30 in total. I won’t list them all, because you can see them on his Twitter feed just as easily as I can. But take a look…some of them are just gorgeous! And I was surprised…I’ve been to 3 of them! How about you?
