The station was formerly known as Estação Central (Central Station) and the name still appears in its façade. Opened in 1891 to designs by Portuguese architect José Luís Monteiro, the main facade at street level is a wonderful example of Neo-Manueline architecture, named after the heavily decorative hybrid classical-gothic architecture unique to Portugal. It's sinuous curves and entrance arches are reminiscent of Art Nouveau. Once inside, a modern escalator takes you up to the spacious train shed. There's a ticket office, ticket machines and cafe. Trains to Sintra leave every 20 minutes on weekdays (every 10 minutes at rush hour), and half hourly at weekends.

I had walked inside to look at the gift shop on the left and saw the Starbucks on the right, but never saw any indication of a train station there, either. Once I KNEW that it was the train station, I looked harder for a sign, and it was up the elevator from the front of the building. Tickets are at the top of the double elevator and should have been easy to get, but I had to try 3 different machines to get it to work. The machine will encourage you to get a round trip, and know that the round trip ticket is all on one ticket. You won't be issued 2 tickets. The ticket is needed to get in and out of the stations, so make sure to hang onto it until after you've left your final destination. The place is super clean...one of the cleanest train stations I have been in. I wanted this review out here in case someone needed it. I hope it helps folks to avoid the couple of hiccups I had there.

For the most part, the station has been perfect for our various in-town excursions. Perhaps a bit for attention to cleanliness would do it some good. Lately, there's been water puddling-up at one of the entrances along Av. Liberdade, with no caution signage, which could easily lead to slips/falls. Thus, I'm taking my review down a notch. Otherwise, all is good at Metro Rossio.

The station is handicapped accessible with escalators and elevators between the street level and the platform level. The station has two tracks that go through the center and therefore, there are two side platforms. There is step-free access and free transfer between the two platforms. If there is a below-ground transfer to the Estação do Rossio for regional trains, I couldn't find it. Upstairs to the street, walk across the plaza, into the station. Platforms are clean and there is a sign indicating how long until the next train is due to arrive. Rossio is between Martim Moniz (toward Telheiras) and Baixa-Chiado (toward Cais do Sodré).

Located on the Blue Line (Linha Azul) between Avenida (towards Reboleira) and Baixa-Chiado (towards…read moreSanta Apolónia), the station is located under Praça dos Restauradores. It is an underground station and while there are plenty of stairs, there are also lifts between the platform level and the ticketing mezzanine and between the mezzanine and street level. The station opened in 1959 as part of the original Lisbon metro and has since been expanded and retrofitted a couple of times. Today, the platforms appear quite modern and clean. There are many restaurants and hotels in the Praça dos Restauradores. The obelisk in the plaza is a monument that commemorates the end of the Iberian Union in 1640 and the independence of Portugal from Spain. At the ticketing level, you'll find the usual automated ticket vending machines and turnstiles. This is one of the busier stations on the network as it is close to some of the main tourist areas and plazas. Keep an eye on your wallet and other valuables.

All the stairs helped give me a good workout but there's also escalators if you have mobility challenges. I liked that the entry/ exit to a public parking garage was also co-located with the metro station. I loved the large tile mural on the walls of the station, which paid homage to the World's major metropolitan cities in a Kandinsky-esque style. With only two platforms, there are 3 city mural dedicated to them per platform. After a LOT of googling, I think have discovered that the artist of these murals might be a Portuguese artist by the name of Nadir Afonso, and his style of art is geometric abstraction.
