In major cities of the world, train stations constructed over a century ago still remain their lifeline.

Emporis, a leading database of information about building and construction projects, came up with a list of 10 most spectacular train stations in the world.

Except for three, all these stations have complete 100 years. These architectural masterpieces have retained the flair of the era gone by and they still remain part of commuters’ daily life.
