Wałbrzych Miasto is a railway station in the Stary Zdrój district of Wałbrzych, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship in south-western Poland.
History The station was opened by Prussian State Railways as Altwasser on 1 March 1853. In 1916, the station was electrified and was significantly expanded to include a freight depot in the northern section. In 1922, it was renamed to Waldenburg Altwasser for designation, Waldenburg being the German name of Wałbrzych.
After World War II, the area came under Polish administration. As a result, the station was taken over by Polish State Railways. The station was renamed five more times; Borowieck Starzyny in 1945, Wałbrzych Starzyny in 1946, Wałbrzych Stary Zdrój in 1947, Wałbrych Miasto Stary Zdrój in 1948, and finally to its modern name, Wałbrzych Miasto in 1949.
In 2010, the station was modernised which included the renovation of the station building, at a total cost of approximately 10 million Polish złoty. In 2018, the overhead wires were rebuilt, with signalling also being upgraded.
