Nobody wants to miss the train or wait for long at the station. But, there is one breathtakingly beautiful station where I’m sure you will love to do that. The greenhouse of tropical plants at Atocha Train Station is a beautiful corner of Madrid that delights its visitors.
Atocha station, which is just down the road from el Prado Museum, has a big jungle. Here you can venture to enjoy the green and spot some birds.
Rafael Moneo is the architect of the station and has converted the old building into a moist and tropical greenhouse to make waiting much more comfortable.
It’s a covered jungle, which stretches out around 4.000 m2 and inhabits more than 500 species amongst which you can find carnivorous plants, goldfish and turtles.
Just make sure you don’t miss the train once you venture into the jungle.
