Zgorzelec Miasto () is a railway station in the town of Zgorzelec, Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-west Poland. It is one of the two railway stations in the town, the other being Zgorzelec.
History The station, including the station building, both opened in 1976. Prior to this, Zgorzelec Miasto railway station (which opened in 1945) was located approximately south of the current station, at the junction of the Wrocław Świebodzki–Zgorzelec railway. The station building never received the care it needed, and, was closed in the early 2000s, and left abandoned. Whilst the station building still stood, Zgorzelec Miasto was considered to be one of Poland's ugliest railway stations.
There were many proposals in which the building would be demolished, for the opening of new commercial spaces. For example, in 2018, there was a proposal of a shopping centre being built, with new also new station facilities, which would have included a waiting room and ticket hall.
It was only until 2024, when the building was finally demolished. The mayor of Zgorzelec said the owner of the building has an agreement with Polish State Railways on opening commercial spaces on the site of the former building.
