Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus Area, Fort, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400001, India
stunning and elegant railway station—unlike any I’ve seen before. It’s well-maintained, huge, and truly beautiful. When I visited, renovation work was underway. Despite being a very busy station, I didn’t feel exhausted, perhaps because of the large ceiling fans that kept the place cool and comfortable.
Feels like stepping into a piece of history with its stunning Victorian Gothic architecture and intricate detailing The blend of Indian and British styles makes it a visual treat. An interesting fact. it's one of the busiest railway stations in India, handling millions daily The carvings on the exterior, from lions to peacocks, are a masterpiece. The night view with all the lights is mesmerizing. One thing that could be better is the crowd management during peak hours, as navigating through can be a bit chaotic But the charm and grandeur make it worth visiting
Railway station is neat and clean. You can enjoy in the evening outside the platform. CSMT is world heritage site, you can take pictures of beautiful monument decorated with light. You can check my photos and videos.
CST is not just a railway station — it’s a piece of living history. The Victorian Gothic architecture is breathtaking, especially when lit up at night. Despite the daily chaos, the station is fairly well-managed, with clear signage and constant activity. It serves as a major hub connecting local and long-distance trains. The blend of heritage and functionality makes CST a symbol of Mumbai’s spirit — fast, resilient, and full of character. A must-visit for architecture lovers and a lifeline for daily commuters.
Really one of the best places i have been to in Mumbai. This looks like really time travel experience. This building is soo beautifully done and looks really you are standing in history. Also good work my Mumbai people and the CST workers for keeping is clean and well maintaining it.
