A century-old train station hides a tropical garden! Madrid Atocha Station.

Singapore's Changi Airport brings the tropical rainforest into the terminal; similarly, in Spain, there is Atocha, which brings a botanical garden into the station hall. This spectacle is truly breathtaking. Madrid's Atocha Station has a history of over a hundred years and has been rated as one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. It is the main station connecting Madrid with other areas, with trains and subways converging here, resulting in a significant flow of people. Atocha is composed of two stations, new and old. The new station is used for boarding, while the old station serves as a shopping mall and a tropical garden, housing over 400 species and 7,000 plants. It is lush and green, resembling a large greenhouse, and is incredibly soothing! Atocha's design is very unique, with a high vaulted main hall that is highly recognizable. The exterior features exquisite carvings, exuding an ancient Athenian vibe. The glass skylight at the top allows sunlight to pour into the platform and hall, making travelers feel warm and comfortable.
