    Tiago was a great guide, providing a general overview of Portugal and how Porto was undergoing changes! He was very helpful and always attentive to the group's pace. At the end of the tour, he shared a map with his tips.

More information

Located in the historic centre of Porto, São Bento Station truly is an architectural gem and an icon of the city.

History

Built in the early 20th century, the São Bento Railway Station was built on the site of a former Benedictine monastery. The azulejos tiles inside the station, of which there are over 20,000, were created by artist Jorge Colaço. These tiles depict scenes of battles, popular festivals, picturesque landscapes, and iconic national figures, offering a fascinating journey through Portugal's history

How to see the station

Given its central location, it's likely you'll wander past the station a couple of times during your stay in the city—don't forget to pop inside to see the iconic azulejos tiles. To gain a deeper insight, we recommend seeing the station as part of a guided tour of the city.
