You might use it every day; you know its platforms and nooks and crannies by heart… In short, Gare du Nord holds almost no secrets for you! While some consider it one of the worst stations in the capital, for our tourist friends, however, it’s quite the opposite! According to the Consumer Choice Center website, the Gare du Nord is one of the best in the world. On-site services, train punctuality, Wi-Fi… everything has been analyzed down to the last detail!
Gare du Nord is reportedly one of the best in the world
The American consumer advocacy group Consumer Choice Center is unanimous:Gare du Nord ranks among the best in the world. To rank our beloved Parisian station in the top 2, the organization based its assessment on several criteria, such as the station’s accessibility, train punctuality, shops in the concourse, connections, and the quality of signage to help travelers find their way…

Gare du Nord scored high enough to win the silver medal, placing just behind Zürich Hbf. And that’s not all—the capital can boast not one, not two, but three train stations in the rankings! Gare Montparnasse comes in 6th place and Gare Saint-Lazare in 7th place.
