I arrived at Oriente Train Station via the metro/underground to catch a train. Once you exit the…read moremetro/underground, the signage to enter Oriente is pretty poor, so look for very small train icons pointing with arrows. You essentially have to go up about three levels to get to Oriente. Once there, there are ticket machines and a ticket booth. Although I had tickets already, I had a question and the gentleman was very nice and informative (he spoke limited English). I recommend waiting in the main concurse (open air) rather than going to the platform. Whiles there's a canopy over the tracks, it can be quite bright and there's not a lot of room to sit. Another advantage of waiting on the main concourse is there's a little cafe and vending machines. The cafe has a few tables and sells drinks, coffee, sandwiches, and desserts. The cafe only accepts cash. Be ready to deal with an attendant who could be friendlier. Overall, decent train station but it needs better signage, as it lacks a large screen with all upcoming arrivals and departures. You also can't hear announcements very well. Pro Tip: If you want to grab drinks and food for the train, there's a supermarket inside the mall across the street.

This is a very old station and comes with that some challenges, such as escalators and elevators that do not work, poor signage, kiosks out of order, very grimy restrooms, and uneven stone flooring that makes rolling bags or heels challenging (and loud :-)). The signage and placement of the only available help desk at one far end was a bit challenging. We did love the roof architecture on the top level as you wait for your train to arrive.

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.

During regular hours, there should be a departure every half hour or so and the train to Lisbon takes about 40 minutes. There are a couple vending machines here. Sintra is very much a tourism destination so you can expect taxis and tuk tuks waiting when you arrive. Or just walk and wing it like I did. The station has an automated ticket kiosk and terminal but hopefully, you bought a round trip when you left Lisbon so you don't have to deal with that. For my departure, I scanned my Viagem card, read the departure board and get on my train in less than a minute. Note that the exit in Rossio is from the front so you'll want to move towards a forward car if you have time here. [Review 16655 overall - 167 in Portugal - 167 of 2022.]

Since we have been to Lisbon, Portugal many times, we decided to take a local train to Cascais. What a beautiful city. Ambiance - Local train, not good or bad. Not busy. Not clean, but also not dirty. On time. Service - Had a hard time trying to buy our tickets as the machines were NOT in English. And we struggled using Google Translate while underground. The people around us were too busy to help us. Finally, we went to the cafe to ask for help. The owner sold us a one day pass rather than a round trip pass... Since we had the more expensive pass (double the price rather than round trip tickets), we decided to make an extra stop at Belem to get our $$ worth. Then when we got back, we found these two tourist girls also struggling to buy their train tickets, so we gave them ours as we were trying to pay it forward. Glad the tickets can get more use. I do not think they were trying to rip us off, but there was a language barrier. We appreciated the help. Price - Bought a one day pass. I think we paid approximately $8 US for each ticket. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

40 minutes or less from Lisbon's Cais do Sodré, this is the end (or the beginning) of the line. As…read moreterminal railway stations go, it's perfectly OK. There are multiple tracks and you might need to ask someone which is the next train to depart. Or you can just follow everyone who is boarding one or the other. If you miss it, there's another in 30 minutes (off peak) or 12 minutes (peak). But before that, you will need to purchase a ticket to scan at the turnstile. The machine has an "English" button and accepts cards, notes and coins. One-way fare is €2,30 and you should expect a conductor on board checking tickets. It is easy to find your way to the bus stop from here as there are signs and a tunnel. The 403 bus stops here for the ride to Cabo da Roca. Head out and to the left, stay on the sidewalk and follow the coastline to the Cidadela de Cascais or the Farol de Santa Marta. Beyond those, it is a 1.5 km walk to the Boca do Inferno but it's mostly smooth and handicapped accessible. Or you can wait for the M27 bus that goes the long way. The station has some snack shops and quick restaurants but you're also right into downtown, so there is much more nearby including all the tourist shops you can imagine.

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.

It was already difficult because we don't speak the language, assuming Portuguese maybe easy to understand because i speak Spanish, we figure it should be fine. My advise, be prepared for the unexpected, when we arrived at the train station few shops were open for service at 11am. The 1st floor is the only area that has a sibgle 27" that is abiut to go. This monitor displays can barely be seen and the information is not updated very often. The area near the supermarket had a ticket booth, in which they spoke English and they directed me to plataform #4. The monitor sadly only gives you updates within 30 mins of your train departure, which makes no sense. A few wide guys are always trying to peddle their services to act as translator or to guide you to your train, others just outright ask you for money as they see you as a target because you carry luggage and backpack. As a New Yorker, i can smell the bullshit from a mile a way and i can spot trouble makers from my daily travels on the MTA in NYC. So of course i got approach and i didnt fall for it but others were not so lucky. Just from speaking out loud, these people can spot Americans- so becareful. The entire station has a police officer at the entrance but his presence was not convincing as it did not detered the homeless or trouble makers. Anyways my train was late 20mins, no updates on the boards. The most hilarious part is that when it finally showed up at 2:35pm, the one board that tells you the train pulling into the station still had the last train that had departed 5 mins ago on display... imagine the people that just got to the station and got in the wrong train.. No way to describe it but- real shit hile station that makes the MTA subway system a first class system in terms of information access. The train itself was crowded, only 1 toilet working, storing luggage on the overhead compartment is difficult unless you are carrying a small luggage. The air conditioner was barely working, at times it would stop and it got really warm on there and when you stepped seated for almost 3.5 hrs, it really sucks. I dont think you need to know anymore, other than be prepared for a very poor experience. By the way, there is assigned seats so dont just grab any empty seat because they will ask you to move if your tickets dont match your assigned seats. By the way the bathroom are on the 2nd floor and you have to pay € 0.50 to use them, by the way a lot more cleaner than the restroom in the train.
