Riding the metro can be boring, especially if you are traveling alone. But if the station has a great ambiance such as these ones, you don’t need a pocketbook to make you feel relaxed.
By simply looking at their structures and exceptional work of art, you will think that you are not in a metro station at all. You wish the next train will not arrive soon.
#1 Formosa Boulevard Station, Kaohsiung, Taiwan
This metro station in Kaohsiung, Taiwan is amazing! It’s like stepping into a massive, technicolor convention center. We can only imagine how in awe of this station the commuters are, and the metro station has even become a tourist attraction in its own right! We think this metro station would definitely brighten up your day.
#2 Rådhuset, Stockholm, Sweden
This magnificent metro station in Rådhuset, Stockholm was built in 1975, and it serves as one of the best examples of organic architecture in the world! Commuters would be forgiven for thinking they had entered into a stunning underground cave or museum when they hopped off at this metro station!
#3 Stadium Station, Stockholm, Sweden
This is Stadium Station in Stockholm, and it has been decorated with murals of rainbows and various other quirky and colorful additions. This particular photograph makes the station almost look like an ice cave, and we think it’s an awesome idea to decorate a station so impressively!
#4 Elektrozavodskaya Station, Moscow, Russia
It may be hard to pronounce, but Elektrozavodskaya Station in Moscow looks more like an expensive art gallery, rather than a metro station! Metro stations are often thought of to be dirty and unkempt, so you can imagine commuters’ surprise and delight at discovering this gem of a station!
#5 Kiyevskaya Station – Koltsevaya Line Hall, Moscow, Russia
Kiyevskaya Station is another metro station in Moscow to have been designed just like a Renaissance art gallery or museum. If only all metro stations could look like this one! We particularly love the use of gold and the impressive artworks. We’re sure there are plenty of people who make a trip to Kiyevskaya just to see the metro station!
#6 Zoloti Vorota Station, Kiev, Ukraine
This impressive metro station was opened on December 30, 1989 as the part of the first stage of the Syretsko-Pecherska Line. Many have commented about the station’s likeness to an Orthodox cathedral, and we could not agree more! This looks more like a place of religious worship than it does a place to catch a train.
#7 Puhŭng, Pyongyang, North Korea
Did you know that the Pyongyang Metro is the deepest in the world? The track runs 360 ft (110 m) underground! This station in North Korea opened in 1987, and since then it has become a national treasure. The metro station is decorated beautifully with ornaments and murals.
#8 O’Hare Station, Chicago, Illinois
This metro station in Chicago, Illinois is one of America’s most beautiful and impressive metro stations, and it isn’t hard to see why! Located at O’Hare International Airport, the walls are made entirely from luminous, colored glass bricks. This metro station is definitely well worth the trip!
#9 T-Centralen Station, Stockholm, Sweden
The T-Centralen Station in Stockholm, Sweden, is another metro station to grace the ‘most beautiful metro stations in the world’ list, and we love the station’s creative design! We love that the walls are covered in colorful silhouettes of workers, in order to celebrate the numerous workers who made the construction of the station possible.
#10 Westfriedhof Station, Munich, Germany
This metro station in Munich, Germany was opened fairly recently in 1998, however the large and colorful lamps were not added until a later date. The lamps contain red, blue, and yellow lights, all adding a vibrant twist to your average metro station. We love this creative idea!
