The Ipoh Railway Station, a historic landmark designed by Arthur Benison Hubback and affectionately dubbed the "Taj Mahal of Ipoh," is a must-visit destination in Perak. This heritage spot not only serves as a transportation hub for Keretapi Tanah Melayu's ETS services but also boasts an architectural splendor that captures the essence of Malaysia's colonial era.
The station's picturesque setting offers excellent opportunities for Instagram-worthy photos, complemented by its proximity to iconic landmarks like Padang Ipoh and Birch Memorial Clock Tower. Padang Ipoh, a historic playground, and the elegant clock tower are testament to Ipoh's rich cultural heritage and vibrant past.
Located conveniently on Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang Wahab, the station provides easy access to various attractions and civic institutions, including the Ipoh Main Post Office and Ipoh Town Hall.
Overall, the Ipoh Railway Station offers more than just transportation—it's a gateway to Ipoh's history and a symbol of the city's enduring charm. Don't miss the chance to explore this iconic landmark on your visit to Ipoh.

Ipoh's railway station is an elegant, encompassing structure that somehow exceeds the size of the city. It marks the past affluence of the former mining city. Functionally and aesthetically, it is valuable to Ipoh. The historic downtown is within walking distance.

Typical colonial architecture railway station, surrounded by a few other colonial buildings nearby including the high court, town council etc. It looks beautiful from far, not that run down, but can definitely be maintained better. Only 10 -15 minutes walk from the famous Concubine Lane but super quiet with no tourists. Should make it as walking trail linking both places.

Wished they maintained this placed better. It could use a coat of paint and cleaning. Very beautiful architecture. What a waste to leave it to slowly deteriorate. Definitely a heritage landmark that would be much appreciated.

Building is beautiful. The station is small, clean and has basic facilities. Will be better if the Majestic Walk is repaired. There are lockers available.

The station is a typical example of Brit colonial architecture. In a poor state of repair and probably of null interest to most visitors. Same sentiment applies to the nearby war memorial (poor condition) and clock tower.

We caught the train from Kuala Lumpur to ipoh, trip was about 2 hours. Was relaxing and not as noisy as I thought it would be. The old train station, is just that OLD. Plenty of character, not a great deal of the modern day age there. But it was still easy to navigate your way around.

Very nice old building, worth visiting. Has toilets inside, you have to pay 30 sen and they are grotty. There is also a small shop inside.

This historical beautiful railway station was really very beautiful. Walking among the hallways outside the station, its not hard to imagine being lost in time and getting transported back to 100 years ago. Marvel in the beautiful architecture and one can take quite a number of photos there.

I love the look of this building but it would be nice if it has nice and cozy cafes not just any other types of cafes. The picture placed above the KTMB service center should depict the older days scene to create the nostalgic feel for the building
