Victoria Station

Though the official name of this historic train station is now Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, most people still refer to it as Victoria Station. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is an extravagant masterpiece of Victorian architecture that was built in 1878. Designed by F.W. Stevens, it mixes Gothic Revival styles with Indian motifs and covers more than six acres. Thousands of workers stream in and out of the station throughout the day and yet the façade projects a bygone grandeur worth seeing.
