So many! I LOVE the outside of Milan Centrale, the Fascist, art-deco exterior, with its grandiose sculptures, but that huge man's FACE right on the side where the mouth is a water fountain-lit up at night as it is-wild!
The GORGEOUS train station at Antwerp, Antwerpen Centraal, in Belgium and also, Ghent's train station. Antwerp's station is incredible, with its lovely turn of the last century train station bar-love the train stations, and the cities-esp. Ghent, one of the undiscovered jewels of Europe.
Here's a picture of Antwerpen Centraal:

Actually Gare de l'Est in Paris, the facade is as gorgeous as any... and as it's now being gutted inside for the launch of TGV Est will shine inside and out.
Europe's ugliest train sheds - take you pick of practically any London station - Kings X, Euston, Paddinton, London Bridge but St. Pancras for its facade can't be beat.

robbie - take you ipod off - it's affecting your brain. yours has gotta be the most stupid post i've seen on Fodor's in years -
<How shallow one would have to be to choose a country or a city based on the appearance of the train station station?>
how the heck did you get this from any post here? no one said that or would believe it i believe. Robbie - lapse back into reality and read the posts first next time before jumping to ludicrous conclusions!

Europe's ugliest has got to be Connolly Station in Dublin. I have been in Waterloo, Euston, Victoria, and several other London stations, but for a station that is ugly to the bone the prize has got to be awarded to Connolly.
Gare St. Lazare is not too far behind.
And if we get down to dirty trains, that line from Connolly to Sligo wins some kind of award.

Wonder if those people would pick a doctor because she is young and pretty?>>
Its only May, but I nominate this for stupidest post of the year -- ipod_robbie, you are spending too much time listing to pop music and not enough time reading to enhance your comprehension
