Western Railway Station - Budapest - Hungary
The station in the heart of the city, housed in an Eclectic and neo-Renaissance building, was opened in 1884. Spanning the 44-meter-wide hall was a daring enterprise, while the electric lighting and the central track-switching system made the Central Station, as it was called originally, one of Europe's most modern railway stations. Most tourists who come to Budapest by train arrive at this station. The grand-old Orient Express with its superbly restored carriages pulls into the Eastern Railway Station several times a year.

Westminster Bridge - London
Parliament & Big Ben. Since 1547 the Palace of Westminster has been the seat of the two Houses of Parliament, called the Lords and the Commons. This superb building replaced the original, which burnt down in 1834. The four-faced clock is the largest in Britain and includes the famous 14-tonne bell ""Big Ben"". Originally hung in 1858, this vast bell chimes on the hour. Four smaller bells ring every quarter hour.
