Description
A train awaits its departing time in Budapest Keleti Railway Station, Hungary.
Known to locals and foreigners alike simply as the Keleti, the station stands at the end of Rakoczi Avenue and at the beginning of Kerepesi Avenue and Thokoly Avenue.
The station is named after the eastern ('keleti') direction, towards Transylvania and the Balkans.
The building was constructed in eclectic style between 1881 and 1884 and was one of the most modern railway stations of Europe in that time. It was planned by Gyula Rochlitz and Janos Feketehazy. The main facade is adorned with two statues of James Watt and George Stephenson. Inside the station there are frescos by Karoly Lotz.
