If you're looking for it, you'd never realize that it is a train station as it's in a beautiful…read morebuilding and is NOT labeled as such on the front. 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.

Not a huge station but perfectly adequate for commuters and tourists like me leaving Lisbon for…read moreother spots in Portugal. Today's day trip was to Sintra. Bonus for me, the station has a few dozen luggage lockers. Easy to operate and now I don't have to bring my roll aboard suitcase with me all day today! Trains to Sintra are every half hour or so and they take about 40 minutes to get to the destination. The station has a couple of vending machines and a small coffee shop while you wait for your train. Automated ticket vending machines are in Portuguese and English, accepting coins, notes and cards. I was able to quickly purchase my round trip ticket. A quick swipe at the turnstile and I boarded. A couple of points off because the lockers only accept coins and not notes. The cashier at the ticketing window not only would not make change, she would not even tell me where I could get change. (There's a ginginja shop at the bottom of the stairs and I bought a quick shot for €1.45 so now I have change.) If there is direct access to the Rossio metro station, they need to improve their signage. I was only able to get to it by leaving the station, crossing the street and then finding the stairs at street level to access the metro. [Review 16560 overall - 82 in Portugal - 70 of 2022.]

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.

We used this metro stop to get to our dinner reservation at the Casanova Pizzeria. It was easy to…read morefind the entrance to the metro, and once inside, easy to navigate to get to the right platforms (there are only 2!). 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. If that is incorrect, please let me know! Yelp 191/ 2019

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.

Love that there is a mall next door and several food trucks and kiosks available to make purchases…read moreas you wait for trains. 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.

We took the Lisbon-Sintra train line & followed the crowds walking:10 to the historic center of town. There were buses, taxis and Tuktuks picking up passengers. We passed art on display & crafts people selling their wares. The station's main building dates from 1887. But it's worth going inside the station, as it's beautifully covered in tiles and includes a tourist office. It also has a ticket office and a ticket machine. We accessed the train platforms can also be done through the station.

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.]
