European train stations are so nice. This one has 3 floors of restaurants, shops and even an IKEA…read more. Didn't have enough time to see the IKEA but I saw the elevator stop.
It's a large railway station with multiple platforms on different floors. It's spacious and very clean. Signage is so very clear and also in English.
Besides the shops and the cafes, there is something so touching and always worth noting. There's a statue memorializing the Kindertransport. The statue is of a young boy sitting on a suitcase. This was the train station in 1938 that took over 10,000 young children from Austria, Germany and Czechoslovakia, separating them from their parents, and transporting them to England so they wouldn't face Nazi Persecution. It's a poignant statue and the trauma these children faced should never be forgotten
