EAST STATION (KELETI PÁLYAUDVAR)

The station, a magnificent neo-Renaissance style building, was opened to traffic in 1884. The arch of the great hall, with a span of 44 m, was considered at the time to be a bold achievement. The splendid royal waiting room formerly reserved for Sissi and her husband Franz Joseph is located on the left after the first quays, it simply serves as a hall overlooking the outside. The tireless Károly Lotz has painted several frescos inside the station.
