    Architecturally interesting and large, multilevel, central transportation hub - filled with people even early in the morning. A few shops are open for early commuter dining. The local and long distance buses are assigned lanes (I counted at least 50 different marked bus stops) and the train platforms are 2 flights above the buses. This station is closest and connected on the 2nd level to the large mall.

    The Oriente station is a major transportation hub, with connections to the metro, train, bus, and Uber. There are several hotels in the area, ranging from budget-friendly to luxurious. Whether you're looking for a central location or a quiet place to stay, you'll find it in the Oriente area of Lisbon.

    No big departure board (or at least we didn't find it where we would expect it). Almost non existing information system - maybe originally because of the design but with the huge amount of advertisements and stands it doesn't make sense. No stuff informing about departures, no one to ask. It might be an architectural masterpiece (that's arguable) but as a main railway station it's not very useful. Next time I better try to avoid it.

    It took a few minutes and asking many people to find the tickets office. Nice waiting room.

    The station is getting old, but this is a great train station. Big and modern for both train and bus, a real central hub, well designed, and easy to navigate...if you have time to kill before catching that train, just cross the street and check out the excellent mall right in front of the station! I love the architecture. Buying tickets was easy. Ticket. Finding the train was easy. Lots of nice places to get a bite to eat while waiting. Nice waiting rooms if it’s a bit chilly. Also convenient to many good hotels, and the skyway.

    Lisbon’s main train, subway and bus station. Signage and cleanliness should be improved

    For the most part, this is a nice train station… great architecture, a mall nearby, good food options, street art, and nice people.

    You guys know "Asterix conquers rome"? The serarch for a staff member who could speak english and tell us how to get to Alamada was insane. It was like the search for "entry permit A38". The central station had no signs or maps at all. Here the search in short: Ticket counter -> Ticket counter -> Info desk -> Ticket counter -> cafeteria?! ->Ticket counter -> Pedestrian who could speak English -> Ticket counter number 13! Where we could finally buy our tickets.

    This public transportation station is a sight to behold!!! It's a spectacular structure that one cannot find something like this Canada 😊 It is directly connected to a mall which makes this station even more special!

    Would avoid this station in future if you’re not familiar with the place/language. No staff roaming to help with where to go- no clear signs. We had to join a queue at the info desk to ask questions as we were unsure on a lot of things. When we finally made it to our platform, the destination didn’t match our ticket info. Again no staff roaming to help until the train arrived even then they were hard to spot but gave us the info we needed in the end. It was a stressful situation. Would depart from Rossio in future if given the option.

    Beautiful modernistic architectural station. A lot of concrete, metal and glass. Worth a visit.

    BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE. THE LAYOUT INSIDE CAN BE A LITTLE CONFUSING THOUGH FOR TICKETS. THE METRO LINK IS GOOD HOWEVER.

    Huge place with beautiful architecture. It’s the main bus station in Lisbon and from there you can go anywhere in Portugal and, of course, some countries around. I felt safe at this station, there are plenty of places to sit and machines to buy snacks or drinks. It was difficult to find a bathroom, however, due to COVID, it was expected.

    It was a little tricky figuring out where we had to go. Everything was closed when we got to the station except the snack bar. It’s a good thing the person working there was able to point us in the right direction.

    Main station of Lisbon. Very well connected to the city and airport through the metro. I found it clean, modern and well integrated with the city. I came here by Flixbus from Porto and it was very intuitive to arrive to city center from here.

  • 4/5 Jaime T. 6 months ago on Google • 125 reviews
    It is a very busy train station. The monitors are kept up to date. The architecture above ground is fabulous. Below ground feels like it is need of a good bath.

    Bus terminal, metro access, trains departures and arrivals. A central piece of the transport in Lisbon. Big shopping mall surrounded by great hotels !

  • 4/5 Djordje S. 5 months ago on Google • 49 reviews
    Amazing architectural landmark, connects trains, metro lines and busses. Although it is not living up to its true potential , there are lights missing and places where rust is slowly setting in

  • 4/5 Katherine U. 1 year ago on Google
    The canopy design is gorgeous - it was an inspiration for my thesis in architecture school. I'm glad I got to see it in person. What I won't forget, is how awful the bathrooms were here. No toilet paper, doors wouldn't close properly, dirty. It's a shame.

  • 4/5 MD.Rifatul I. 1 year ago on Google
    Its a good station for bus or train, especially buses most preferable here. Enough rest room and food corner. But which bus going from which platform, is bit difficult to find. Need more marking or information display outside the bus standing areas.

  • 4/5 Geoffrey C. 11 months ago on Google
    Living place with lots of people moving around (can be stressful for some persons), but also good places to eat, take a break out of the sun, as there is coffee, bubble tea, and more. I loved the architecture of this place.

  • 1/5 Nora A. 1 year ago on Google
    Chaotic, badly organized. The bus area lacks any kind of updating screen signaling where incoming/departing buses will stop, which given the amount of traffic it has, and the design of the bays, makes it extremely easy for first time travelers to lose their bus. There’s also no information point. Wayfinding is not clear, you can get to the same point by two different paths or have to cross the whole station and go up and down small scalators with luggage. Elevators are slow, faulty, and full of dirt. The (beautiful) roof of the train departure area will not protect you from the rain. Not enough restrooms for a station of that size. Pretty station architecturally for a one-time visit but for a regular user it clearly lacks on many levels.

    I still love this building - a modern prayer to gothic architecture by Santiago Calatrava - looking forward to return after 20 years …

  • 5/5 Deepak S. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning design. Modern, functional and eclectic! The roof is mesmerizing and the station serves almost as many passengers every day as Grand Central in New York. Go on …take the train to Porto!

  • 5/5 Artur V. 1 year ago on Google
    The roof of the Oriente train station is a masterpiece by the Catalan architect Santiago Calatrava. A renowned architect and engineer, Calatrava left his unique style in Parque das Nações, which combines materials such as concrete, glass and steel, while maintaining visible structures that other architects hide. At Gare do Oriente he created a large structure with an elegant and light appearance, which to some reminds some of a grove of metallic trees and to others the columns and arches of a Gothic cathedral. The Calatrava dash is the perfect door to the art gallery located inside the Oriente Metro station (red line). Inaugurated on May 19, 1998, the station is designed by architect. Sanchez Jorge and plastic interventions by 11 artists representing the 5 continents, which were inspired by the central theme of Expo 98 -The Oceans. Oriente station was very well designed to offer passengers a lot of practicality. With well-distributed services, Oriente Station has 5 floors as follows: on the highest floor is the Train Station, on the lowest level is the Metro Station and on the ground is the access to the Bus Station. In addition, on the other floors are parking, ticket offices, waiting rooms, restaurants and access to Shopping Vasco da Gama, one of the best malls in Lisbon.

    Nice station, easy to navigate.

  • 1/5 James L. 2 years ago on Google
    Missed our coach because the driver told us we had the wrong bus (we didnt) and all the information staff actively didn't help, just told us to ask someone else. I'd advise leaving via another means if you can

  • 5/5 SAJJAD N. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic architecture, mixture of concrete and metal structure. Beautiful and alongside you can travel to different places with trains and buses and have access to shopping center of Vasco da Gama. Recommended.

  • 2/5 Ivan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Terrible service when it comes to selling tickets, waited in the line for 25 minutes, with only 2 people in front of me, eventually loosing the train and habing to wait another hour. All because of the imconpetence and lack of consideration from the sales person to the 2 people on the line waiting for over 25 minutes.

  • 5/5 Abbie W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and beautiful shopping center. I wish I had more time here but it's 3 stop on the metro from Lisbon Airport so it's great for a quick meal.

👍 We came here for the train to Sintra. It’s quite large, not too busy in February, and the automated ticket machines were easy to use as had several language options. It also has luggage lockers, and toilets inside (post-tapping your ticket to enter) that were functional and clean for €0.50.

👍👍 Very organised and clean. The Rede Expressos busses have separate station. My trip was to Evora. I could find the station by asking a guide. Inside the station there is a snack bar,jogos, and a temporary second hand bookshop, and also there is a coffee shop too. The bus moved on time only 4 minutes...
