The architecture is nice at night and in the daytime it is a normal building. Way too many people to get a good picture. I like the view of Flinders Street Station from St Paul's Cathedral or even further down.

If you like traditional architecture, this station is quite magnificent. If that is not your interest, there really isn't a huge reason to see this.

Central to everything - Federation square, the shopping, Southbank, the Yarra river the CBD....best place to start your day. Over 100,000 trips a day through the station, and if you go... more

Ask any Melburnian what 'under the clocks' means and most will reply 'Melbourne's most well known place to meet - on the steps of Flinders Street railway station across from the infamous Young and Jackson's Hotel.' The station facade is grand. Stand outside St Paul's Anglican (Church of England, not Catholic) Cathedral for the obligatory photo. Capture a Swanston Street... more
