Train stations in Portugal are like museums, with some being refined and artistic, while others seamlessly blend modernity with beauty. In these incredible train stations, even waiting and rushing become pleasant. Next, we will explore Portugal's high-quality and exquisite train stations together.

San Benedetto train station

Portugal has many beautiful train stations renovated from monasteries, among which the San Bento Station located in Almeda Garrett Square is considered the "most beautiful train station in Portugal". Its interior is decorated with 20,000 hand-painted blue tiles created by artist Jorge Colaço, most of which reflect themes of Portugal's transportation history and royal life, as if you can see the history of a country and a city before your eyes.

Rosario Train Station

One of the oldest train stations in Portugal, the Rossio Train Station was built in 1886. This train station, with its eight-gated palace and beautifully decorated clock tower, often makes people mistake it for a palace or theater. Because of its romantic and stunning exterior design, this train station, which has spanned 132 years, is one of the greatest engineering feats of 19th-century Portugal.

East Train Station

Gare do Oriente is a famous train station located in the eastern part of Lisbon, known for its unique roof design. The roof is covered by a steel frame and consists of eight elevated tracks and their respective platforms, shaped like the back of a leaf. The unique shape of the roof is crafted from fiberglass, presenting a fascinating geometric abstract effect. It is a stunning example of contemporary architectural landscapes.

Campanhã train station

The Campanhã train station located in Porto has been one of the most important train stations in the city since its opening in 1877. As a transfer station for trains from Lisbon to the north of Portugal, trains from Lisbon stop here and passengers can take trains to the São Bento train station in the city center. This route runs along the river with beautiful scenery that is faster than the subway and offers great views.

Avirol train station

Aveiro's Estação de Aveiro, an ancient train station, is a small and delicate building decorated with traditional Portuguese blue porcelain tiles, each of which is a valuable artwork. The old train station at Estação de Aveiro is no longer in use, and the nearby sculptures and buildings have become art pieces for people to enjoy, making it one of the interesting sights in Aveiro's water city.
