Oporto Sightseeing
 
São Bento Station A monumental train station

The first train arrived here in 1896, but the building (designed with a French Renaissance touch) opened in 1903.

Around 20,000 magnificent tiles alluding to the history of transport and of Portugal cover most of the atrium. The most remarkable panels are those showing King João I and Queen Philippa of Lancaster by the city’s cathedral in 1387, and a representation of the Battle of Arcos de Valdevez.

Location: Praça Almeida Garret
Getting there: Metro - São Bento station.
