It's a beautiful building, right near the river, but the fare gates are right at the entrance now so you can't really go in to look around without a train ticket. From what I could see the interior is much more mundane, it's the exterior that is noteworthy. You'll likely be nearby at some point, so certainly take a look. more

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 Flinders Street Station would not have been by Federation Square and St Paul's Cathedral, I think we might of... more

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
