World’s most beautiful stations of 2026 named by Prix Versailles

The Prix Versailles has unveiled its list of the “world’s most beautiful stations” for 2026. The selection of seven public transit designs “gives us proof that 21st-century passenger stations can be the bridges to a more desirable future,” according to Prix Versailles Secretary General Jérôme Gouadain.

In December, three projects from the list will be given additional titles of a World Title – Prix Versailles, Interior, or Exterior. The unveiling of the emporium shortlist comes shortly after the organization chose its shortlist for universities, commercial stores, restaurants, hotels, airports, and museums. 

Below, we have published the seven projects comprising the World's Most Beautiful Stations list 2026. You can compare the projects with those of previous years by following our ongoing coverage of the series here.
