  The first thought we have when entering a metro station is whether the next train will be late. However, in the case of the following 10 stations, this is not the case. Why; Because these are the most impressive stations - works of art in Europe!

10) Westfriedhof (Munich, Germany)

 At number ten on the list is Munich’s Westfriedhof Station. It started operating on May 24, 1998, with the aim of highlighting the contrast of the simplicity of the almost unaffected tunnel walls by the intense blue-green lighting coming from the huge hanging lamps. I think the experiment is considered successful.For more information about the station and the city, click here.

9) Solna Centrum (Stockholm, Sweden)

 Stockholm is probably the only city in the world that its metro is in itself an attraction and of course, it is no coincidence that three stations are on the relevant list. The first station is Solna Centrum of the red line. It is a station that has been operating since August 31, 1975, and its bright red color will make you feel that you are coming out through the crater of a volcano.

8) Plac Wilsona (Warsaw, Poland)

 The truth is that the metro in Warsaw is not as extensive as the subways of cities such as London or Paris, but Plac Wilsona station, operating since 2005, is among the most impressive metro stations in Europe. The special one with this station is its roof, reminiscent of features, as the Poles say, UFO. Its distinctive and original appearance, with its continuous elliptical circles, will make you stare at it for hour. For more information about the station and the city, click here.

7) Olaias (Lisbon, Portugal)

 In 1998, Lisbon hosted a world exhibition to celebrate 500 years of Portuguese inventions. As part of this exhibition and to help its 11 million visitors, the Olaias station was created. It is an impressive station with colorful tiles in a variety of geometric shapes and patterns, which make it, stand out from the dark and remote areas of traditional train stations.

6) T-Centralen (Stockholm, Sweden)

 The second station of the Stockholm T-Bahn on the list is also the Central Station (T-Centralen). In fact, it is the first station that was decorated in the city in 1975 and dominates the blue color in various motifs, such as flowers, which according to the artist help passengers clear their minds and rest.

5) Staromestska (Prague, Czech Republic)

 Most metro stations on Line A in Prague would deserve a place in the ”hall of fame" of the most attractive stations in Europe, but Staromestska is the most beautiful and most photographed. It was completed in 1978 and is located in the old town (its name even means "Old Town station"). The bright red and original design of the bubbles on the walls is reminiscent of something between Lego and "Clockwork Orange."

4) Komsomolskaya (Moscow, Russia)

 Komsomolskaya station, located on the homonymous Moscow square, is one of the busiest stations in Europe. It opened on 30 January 1952 as part of the second line and due to its location, special attention was paid to architecture and decoration. What makes it stand out is its baroque gold-plated ceiling, adorned with chandeliers and eight striking mosaics. Their theme comes from Russia's historical struggle for freedom and independence, designed by Pavel Korin.

3) Stadion (Stockholm, Sweden)

 The third and final station coming from Stockholm is Stadion station, also of the red line. It started its operation on September 30, 1973, and is decorated with colorful rainbows, symbolizing diversity, as the Stockholm Pride festival is held every year in this part of the city.

2) Bockenheimer Warte station (Frankfurt, Germany)

 Frankfurt Underground Station Bockenheimer Warte opened in its current form in February 2001. Its name comes from a 15th-century Gothic tower, which is the landmark of the area. The most impressive thing about this station is its entrance, which looks like it is sinking to the ground. Although it is not located in the city center, its magnificent architecture attracts many tourists and photographers from around the world who want to see it up close.

1) Toledo (Napoli, Italy)

 The Toledo station of the Naples subway, which has been operating since September 2012, is at the top of the relevant list and not unfairly, as it is the most beautiful among the modern art stations in the city. It is the deepest station that has been created to date in Naples, about 50 meters below the ground and has water and light issues. The station's architecture is curated by art critic and former director of the Venice Biennale, Achille Bonito Oliva, and includes two mosaics by South African artist William Kentridge, as well as works by Robert Wilson, Francesco Clemente, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov. Shirin Nehsat and Oliviero Toscani. For more information about the station and the city, click here.
