It reminds me of Tarnów, but it’s not quite the right shape. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s somewhere along the south of Poland though.
Not quite!

Bohumin?
Getting closer, but no.
Modernised and accessible station, name on blue background. However, a bit of research suggests the OHLE stanchion is Czech or Slovak rather than Polish.
That narrows the search a bit, but beyond that I'd be guessing.

Praha-Vršovice (Prague)?
Looks convincing to me, but I'm not the OP
Very good, that's the one!

Wow, that was quick. Correct answer.
I've seen pictures of it before. It's a distinctive looking station.
Let's try this one.

I’d have got as far as Morocco from the combo of the French-designed loco and red star on the front, but beyond that would have been a case of ‘pick a random city,’ which is exactly what I shall do now…
Almaty?

Ulanbataar, Mongolia
I'm afraid not, though I can see why you'd think that!
This is the right answer!

Sad to think that I had fully planned a trip from Sweden to Mongolia by train (Umeå - Vaasa - Helsinki - St Petersburg - Moscow - Ulaanbaatar) when Russia invaded Ukraine. We ended up flying and I glimpsed the station on the way in from the airport.
Back to Europe… this station does not currently have passenger service, but it’s coming.

I know that station! And I think I knew where you stood when you took the photo. But I'll give others a chance first.

My random guess would be Haparanda, but I'm not convinced as it doesn't match satellite imagery...
Haparanda has passenger service.

Ah - I must have been thinking of international services instead!

Good guess, but Haparanda doesn’t have a viewpoint like this one.
And it was worth every penny
(the deluxe rooms are on the uppermost floor).
