Choceň wins most beautiful train station

The Association Entente Florale – Souznění has awarded its annual title of most beautiful train station to the depot in the central town of Choceň. The station, which lies on the track between Prague and Česká Třebová, was chosen from ten finalists on the basis of a public poll that gave it 900 of 3500 votes. The organizers of the prize say that the station was appreciated for the reconstruction of its central terminal, which maintained the Neo-Renaissance façade from the late 19th century. There are some 2500 train stations in the Czech Republic; last year’s winner was in the village of Zahrádky in Northern bohemia.
