The renovation of the passenger hall and façade of the Nyugati Railway Station is being carried out in several phases, with many details being restored to their original appearance over the past few years. The renewal of the Teréz körút façade has now been fully completed: the works carried out in 2023 included the reconstruction of the main façade, the façade towers and the main staircase, the statement reads.
The façade of the part of the building facing the Teréz körút, which has been hidden behind a scaffold for years, has undergone a complete renovation from the roof to the pavement level, including the towers. The renovation has involved the work of many building specialists and more than fifty restorers to restore the building to its original grandeur and preserve it for posterity.
Work on the Teréz körút façade of the railway station, the plinth, windows and the main staircase ascent was also completed, completing the unparalleled view of one of Budapest’s most beautiful public buildings for the holidays.

It’s SPLENDID.
Thank-You all who have, through there skills, there Masterships, bought back to life, this historical Budapest Major Railway Station.
What it will be, enhancing its appeal and architectural uniqueness, when the VILE over-pass is REMOVED and the re-design of Nyugati ter is completed.
Thank-You all again.
YOU have truly done Hungary proud.
It’s a great building – but Budapest obsession with large LED screens is over the top -even the Christmas markets- the large screens at the station overpower everything – you can even read them from across the street-almost everyone has cell phone that wil give you anything you want to know along with smaller screens around the station.
