Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai
This railway station is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is an architectural splendour in itself. Also known as Victoria Terminus, it welcomes its guests with a splendid Victorian Gothic architecture which casts a magical spell on its visitors.
The station was designed by Frederick Stevens and its construction was completed in 1887. However, the terminus was functional even before it was completely built and the first train from this station was flagged off in 1853. Don’t miss the jungle-themed facade, it is adorned with gargoyles, lions and peacocks.
