Leipzig station is the largest terminus station in Europe in terms of area. 23 tracks are located under the huge roof made of steel and glass.

Leipzig station is one of the most beautiful and consumer-friendly train stations in Europe. With a façade length of 298m and a covered floor area of 83640sqm, the station building is one of the largest in Europe.

Sometimes, they are like a city of gold, and at other times, they are a stunning white. This particular afternoon I looked up from my laptop at just the right time and saw this stunning light hitting the buildings. Of course, I grabbed my camera and raced outside to take some photos.
