We used the Estação Santa Apolónia in Lisboa as the start of our train ride to Porto. Apolónia is…read morea clean and easy to maneuver-through train station, that also has some beautiful architecture. Everything was easy to find; easy to locate; easy to ask questions. The agent we had interaction with was professional and helpful. (Train stations/public transportation can be a bit nerve-wracking, especially if you're from a small town and don't speak the language.) We had no problems whatsoever. And, too, our return to Lisboa was a breeze, as well...!

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.

Spent some time here for a transfer to Porto. Good for a walk, given the multiple levels, while…read moreyou wait. There is a waiting room and the restrooms needed some attention. Plenty of ATMs throughout. Some Cafes/sandwich spots and they had a row of mini Food trucks of which only 2 were open. There were some stores on the second and bottom level but if you need to do some serious shopping go to the Vasco da Gama center across the street. Overall, despite the cool design, has seen better days and could use a refresh/restoration.

During our 6-weeks in Lisbon, the Metro Rossio (Linha Azul--Blue Line) was pretty much our go-to…read morefor public transportation, it being a mere 5-minute walk downhill from our apartment. 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.

This is the metro station. It is completely separate from the train station…read more Located in between the actual Rossio Square and Praça da Figueira, Rossio is located on the Green line of the Lisbon metro. 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).

The station has four tracks, each with side platforms. The doors open on the left side. On the Linha Virde (green line), it is between Areeiro (toward Telheiras) and Arroios (toward Cais do Sodré). On the Linha Vermelha (red line), it is between Saldanha (toward São Sebastião) and Olaias (toward Aeroporto). The station is handicapped accessible but at least one of the escalators was offline.

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.
