Lisboa Rossio on Postcard

"Catching a Train at Rossio The Rossio railway station was designed between 1886 and 1887 by Portuguese architect José Luís Monteiro. It makes connections with the village of Sintra, and the 2,600-meter tunnel was excavated under the city. It is considered one of 19th-century Portugal's most important works of engineering. It has a beautiful Neo-Manueline façade, where two intertwined horseshoe portals stand at the entrance, a clock sits in a small turret, and the sculptural decoration is abundant. Inside you can now find a Starbucks, Lisbon Destination Hostel, and a souvenir shop."

A gorgeous stunning train station. Took me a minute to realize this was a train station, it looks like a museum! Efficient courteous staff. Easy to navigate and find your train! From this train station in pretty Lisbon one can embark on an adventure into ancient lands with castles and fortresses and palaces and from there, a 2.60 bus gets you to the westernmost point of Europe- the end of the earth! What a thrilling experience. And it all began here 💜

Train station in Rossio, where you catch the train to Sintra to see the Pena Palace, Quinta de Regaleira, Moorish Castle and more. There are ticket machines otherwise the alternative is a manned kiosk. Person who served me was a bit abrupt but whatever. Train price was very cheap. 4 euros. Journey only takes 45 mins and goes quite quickly. Outside of Rossio train station looks very elaborate, its not obvious its a train station. Best to arrive early if travelling as trains get packed up pretty quickly.

one of the finest stations I've ever seen. built on the hillside, it has a grand look and is very pretty, possibly one of the best buildings in the city. the ticketing booth system was a little slow, which nearly made us miss our hourly train, but otherwise it was a pleasant experience. busy though. the platforms were lovely, with a high spacious ceiling. note that the corresponding metro station is quite a short walk to the east, and restauradores is actually a bit closer.

The busiest train station in Lisboa centre. You can catch trains from here to Sintra or to Porto. There is a Starbucks where you can have a quick bite to eat

Not connected to metro station as far as I could gather, and again incredibly infrequent trains. 1h between Sintra trains on a Saturday... quite excessive. Also ticket machines didn't work. Beautiful building but the infrastructure around it lets it down big time

Can get busy in the morning due to all the day trips to Sintra. If you need to buy tickets expect a 30-45 min wait at the kiosks and at the customer counter. Or just buy them at a off time the day before. 5€ round trip to Sintra which is a great deal

Rossio Square :: This large and beautiful square in the centre of the shopping area is a great place to stop for a rest. There is an attractive fountain and water feature at each end which make the city feel cooler even on a hot day. The black and white mosaic floor is mesmerising and very attractive.
