A turbomachine stage including guide vanes, radially inner and/or radially outer airfoil platforms, which together form a guide vane cascade, and further including rotor blades, radially inner and/or radially outer airfoil platforms, which together form a rotor blade cascade adjacent to the guide vane cascade. Radially outer airfoil platforms have cascade regions extending between circumferentially adjacent airfoils, and gap regions which radially and/or axially bound an axial gap extending axially between the guide vane cascade and the rotor blade cascade. A contour of at least one of these gap regions varies, in particular periodically, in the radial and/or axial direction around the circumference.
