I do not really understand people giving this train station such a high reviews. From my perspective, it is a filthy, run-down train station (please see the pictures attached; my apology for the picture of a toilet, I intentionally did not took picture of the whole toilet showing how disgusting it was). Yes, the historical building is nice, however, maintenance and cleanliness is absolutely shocking. Considering this is one of the busiest and the most famous train station in Melbourne, it is really a shame. The train station has been in renovation for at least 5 years, but I cannot see anything being done. Try to compare it to main train station in other cities, e.g. Singapore, Dubai, Tokyo, etc. It would like comparing Day and Night.

I have a non-sexual romantic relationship with the Alstom X'Trapolis 78M train on platform 14. Yes, in this famous architectural landmark, I have a non-sexual romantic relationship with Alstom X'Trapolis 78M on platform 14. Not in the traditional sense, but in an appreciation for its public friendly design and it's pure mechanical prowess. Hear me out, you can pay what 20 bucks for a ride at Lunar park for a single ride. But if really want true Melburnian entertainment, then get on X'Trapolis at Werribee and ride it all the way to Frankston. Not only will the spring suspension give you more entertainment than any rollercoaster in this godforsaken continent, but you'll even get a free scoliosis diagnosis after a few trips. I wish could ride it every day, to feel the dusty, probably urine stained seats beneath me, all whilst hearing the wonderful sound of tormented souls when said train turns any corner on the rails. So, whether you are visiting Melbourne for the first time, or are daily commuter this is the single most important thing to do. Go find the station announcer nearby and ask about the Alstom X'Trapolis 78M train on platform 14 and you will receive a Lord of the Fries voucher for a 250ml tub of mayonnaise. Hope this helps!

We visited this iconic landmark in Melbourne. The architecture is classic and a nice place for photos. However, inside the station is all business and we could not get in without a train ticket. There are some food stalls and cafes just along the side of the train station.

A icon in CBD, the historical train station keeps working now to provide the public transportation service to people. Good place to take some photos. Enjoy.

This iconic landmark building is one of the grandeur architecture of Melbourne. Connecting greater Melbourne with CBD and Southbank, just walking distance from the station.

The Flinders Street Station is one of Melbourne's most iconic landmarks. Tourists and Melburnians alike have stood beneath the clocks of Melbourne's iconic central railway station for generations. The station is located in the center of Melbourne, next to the Yarra River. The station was last renovated a few years ago. From here, you can reach most places in Melbourne by public transportation. There are trains running throughout Melbourne. Just outside the station there are also multiple trams that pass by regularly. There are toilet facilities at the station as well. St Paul's Cathedral provides a good view of the station.

Flinder Street Station is truly the heartbeat of the city Melbourne, and I've got to say, the front architecture is a striking marvel. It adds a unique touch to the overall experience, making every visit memorable. The station's central location and impressive design make it a standout landmark, contributing to Melbourne's charm.

Huge station with friendly staff and a lot of shops. I visited this station on Australia Day. There was a big crowd in front of the station but the police and security staff kept everything in order. This is historically building. It worths to visit even if you don’t use train. There is beautiful cathedral in front of the station. Good place to visit too.

Without taking into consideration how terribly Public Transport Victoria run the public transport systems and you may not arrive at the station the train was meant to go to mid journey… Flinders St Station is my favourite station in Victoria! It has many access points from Elizabeth Street and Swanson Street. It’s close to many work places, the MCG is a walk away, it’s by Southbank and Crown Casino and it has trains going across every metro train line in Victoria. There are bathrooms and food facilities and I’m glad that I have lived and studied near to it often!

Nice and clean place. Stand beneath the clocks of Melbourne's iconic railway station, as tourists and Melburnians have done for generations. Take a train for outer-Melbourne explorations, join a tour to learn more about the history of the grand building, or go underneath the station to see the changing exhibitions that line Campbell Arcade.

Meet me on the steps underneath the Flinders Street clocks, surely one of the most iconic places in Melbourne. If not actually catching a train a great place to people watch, the good, the bad and the ugly!! Can get a coffee or snack from variety of vendors. Station staff are helpful. Watch out for religious spruikers, buy a copy of The Big Issue from the local seller and make sure you have your Myki!

Flinders Street Railway Station Opened in 1854. Did you know there Abandoned Ballroom at Rail station. Back in the 1950s and 60s, Flinders Street Station was home to one of the most popular dance halls in Melbourne. Hosting large ballroom competitions, dance class, and concerts, being able to hold 400 people at once. However, the last dance event was on 10th September, 1983, with the hall since closed off to the public. It is still there and located on the third floor of the station.

Flinders Street the center door and beggining of all commuting train runs to outside.Flinders street never gets old always young and healthy, there's always room to move and plenty to do when you step outside, attractive scenery, food, shopping, excise, entertainment and more

One of Melbourne’s iconic must-sees. Flinders street is a clean station with lots of help and food options. The ballrooms above are beautiful (but not accessible unless for an exhibition or something). Across the road are many options for food and cafe’s. Recently saw the Rone exhibition in the ballrooms and they were amazing!! Definitely recommend.

Is Flinders Street Railway Station? I think it is and it has this unique charm about it that just makes me want go hang out there. I love taking shots, looking around there and photos out the front are the best. Top spot and staff are helpful too. Every time I get lost, they help me out. LOVE THEIR WORK!

Super nice! The architecture is cool and the station retains many dated design features which create an awesome atmosphere, like the clocks. The exterior lights up at night, which made me super excited when I saw it. It was awesome. The trains arrive and depart on time, navigating it is easy thanks to the clear signs, and there are toilets and restaurants inside which is neat. Nice!

What a majestic looking place both at broad daylight and night time.

I went to The Clocks Gaming room at the Flinders train station last night. The most representative place in Australia. The security guard request me to show vaccination certificate for entrance. I showed him my Hong Kong Sinovac vaccination certificate, which has both English and Chinese languages on the same page. When the guard saw Chinese words, he refused to read the certificate although it contains my vaccination details in full and in English. He called more security guards to come and do more checking on me for longer. He discriminated me from my friends and others who taken Australian vaccines. I can see how Australian discriminate Chinese people in Australia.

flinders st station is without doubt the heart of melbourne, the iconic heritage building . Beautiful architecture and a large expansive transport hub which is close to everything the city has to offer is an excellent tourist destination and meeting point. Feel protected because of constant police presence. Staff will tell you exactly where to catch your train if you need.

It is the final and first station in the Melbourne city loop train network. It is well organised, clean, with plenty of amenities and services. Quick walk to anywhere in Melbourne CBD and tram station nearby.

Old and famous Iconic landmark in city centre with classic architecture. It’s worth to visit and take photos there.

Not for a train journey, but purely to admire its iconic architecture. The grandeur of the building and the intricate details stand as a testament to the city’s rich history and architectural prowess. A must-visit for anyone with an eye for design and architecture!

Flinders has a great atmosphere and location. Handy to St Kilda road and arts precinct and lots of yummy food like a bakery and Lord of the fries. Clean and quiet today 😁

I have visited the Melbourne last year in September, the city is well organised, people were so cooperative, weather was awesome, food quality was amazing, and free tram zone in Melbourne, I had enjoyed alot want to visit again in next year as well.

The architecture of the building viewed from the outside is a reminder of its history and how long it has stood. Station itself is convenient, clean toilets, escalators to go up and down platforms, signage for train times and itineraries in multiple places. Staff posted around the station are friendly

One of iconic, big and busy station in melbourne city. love the building exterior.

Beautiful old railway station with nice architecture in the centre of Melbourne City.

I haven't seen Flinders station this quiet and empty in a long time. I remember back in the days when I was still in high school and mobile phones were not around yet. My friends and I would use this as our meeting point. "let's meet at flinders tomorrow under the clock" you had to be specific because sometimes they could come out on the other ends of Flinders station. The good old station. I'm so glad its still here.

It famously became the very first steam rail station in all of Australia. Currently, Flinders Street railway station is located on the corner of Flinders and Swanston streets in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Opened in 1854, the historic station serves the entire electrified metropolitan rail network, as well as some country services to eastern Victoria. The station has 13 platforms and is approximately 1.25 kilometers from Southern cross station.

This iconic building is worth a visit even if you don't need to use the bustling transport hub! It is a Melbourne city landmark - in particular, the row of clocks above the corner entrance on Flinders Street. The clocks were replaced in 1983 with digital readings, but after a huge public outcry, the old clocks were back within a day! A common meeting place is "under the clocks".

Awesome looking place. Take a ride on the old school tram. It is free on the weekends. It is a rocky ride but worth it for the experience. I think you need tickets to get into the train station. This area in general has alot of places to look at and take pictures.

Emblematic Train station in Melbourne. Photos here are a must. The architecture is quite beautiful, although inside it is pretty much a train station. A must stop to see point in the city.

One of the landmarks of Melbourne city that you don’t wanna miss! It is recommended to visit once during the day and another at night - it’s a whole different vibe when the lights are on. To get a better photo, take it from diagonally across the street! You can even go up the stairs and have a shot from the church ;)

Amazing architecture and just an iconic building in Melbourne. Always in awe of how amazing the building is every time I visit Melbourne CBD.

A great place to meet someone in the city and always meet under the clocks. An iconic clock tower at the end of Elizabeth Street marks a massive station that never doesn't have a train there during the day. The concourse is almost as big as Southern Cross' and is so spacious. There are some abandoned platforms that are further past the end of most platforms at the end of platform 1. Very busy though and it needs a capacity upgrade.

Iconic and busy… has to be visited if you are in Melbourne. Be careful and social distance :)

One of the Iconic place in Melbourne. If you enjoy old architecture don’t miss this place. A stroll around the Flinders street station gives a great opportunity for photo enthusiasts.

I've been here quite few times with my family. But today I went there all by my self. There was nothing to fear about. Not much crowded. There are clean toilets in the station. Some places to buy a coffee or some food as well. There are people who are available for help if we needed. Very clean and safe place as to my experience.

Located in the center of Melbourne, next to Yarra River. The station can be very hectic most of the time. There were lots of food stalls available. The toilets needs better cleaning.

Lovely station but please hire lovely staff. Chinese lady attendant that’s rude and nasty. We went to sugar station to get lollies and she refuse to let us out of the station after. Ridiculously rude and unhelpful. Go work in a prison, will suit her better.

The iconic Flinders Street Train Station with the iconic Tram 35. You never get enough of this place.

what an amazing location, this is a historical location been standing for a long time, seen the pictures of this cool train station in old day & the modern day, they both look amazing. the old day station was full of character & gorgeous, people are walking around in the old dress and suit make the station look busy and full of story.
