Flinders St Station is a major Melbourne landmark, the hub of Melbourne's transport system, and a popular meeting place, particularly under the station's domed clock tower.

It is said to be the busiest suburban railway station in the southern hemisphere.

Flinders St Station's striking Victorian architecture maintains the city's link with the past even as it sits cheek by jowl with the contrasting 21st century Federation Square.

Located at the corner of Flinders and Swanston Sts, Flinders St Station was built in 1884. It is normally open from 5am to 3am daily.
