Description
The Genève-Cornavin Railway Station was built in 1858 but was rebuilt in 1931 which accounts for its present appearance.  It is Geneva's main railway station accommodating an average of 115,000 passengers on a typical working day.  There are 8 platforms serving on averasge 230 train arrivals and departurtes each day.







Between 2013 and 2014 the eastern part of the train station underwent a general reconstruction. The shopping and public area was extended which provided more space and ticket machines to the previously overcrowded station. The result was a more modern, airy look.
