Said to be modelled on the lines of the London’s St Pancras Station Chhatrapati Shivaji or Victoria Terminus is one of the city’s landmarks and a tribute to Raj’era design and construction. It come complete with carved stone friezes and stained glass windows - Gothic architecture at its best and designed as a statement its impact lasts even today, a building that gives pride to the city’s population.

Christened to commemorate Victoria Jubilee Day in 1887 when India's first steam engine left from here today it has been rechristened Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus after the famous Maratha warrior. A visit is essential for any traveller through the city, ideally when not rushing for a connection so you can appreciate its style.
