Kaohsiung Formosa Boulevard Station, Taiwan

City Hall, NYC
Simply riding the New York City subway won’t get you a look at the city’s most beautiful station, a ‘secret’ stop on a part of the line that has been closed for decades. You have to go out of your way to catch a glimpse of the wrought iron skylights and intricate tile work. Just take the 6 train to Brooklyn and then stay on; you’ll see the City Hall Station as the train makes its turnaround.
Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile
With the feel of a beautiful art museum or a centuries-old church, the Universidad de Chile stop on the Santiago metro in Chile will make you forget just where you are. The walls are covered in a massive mural of Chile’s history by Mario Toral.
Olaias, Lisbon
Subtle it’s not – the Olaias station in Lisbon, Portugal is packed with colored panes of glass in every shade of the rainbow.
