A train station so beautiful that it has become a must-visit check-in point

#Traveling by train Sometimes when traveling by train, the train station itself is so beautiful that it becomes a tourist attraction in itself. For example, São Bento Train Station (meaning Saint Benedict) located in the heart of the old town of Porto. It was first built in 1904 by architect José Marques da Silva. The building is built in the French Beaux-Arts style, which combines Neoclassical, Baroque, and Renaissance styles, with some contemporary materials added. In addition to the beautifully designed building, what makes this place stand out and is called one of the most beautiful train stations in the world is the Azulejo tile paintings by artist Jorge Colaço, which are dazzlingly decorated all over the walls. There are colorful pictures along the beams that depict villagers in different regions of Portugal, and blue and white paintings that tell stories of the country's history, such as the picture of Prince Henry the Navigator during the Conquest of Ceuta. The beauty of this station makes it a must-see even for those who don't plan to take the train. And some tourists choose to visit the Douro Valley by taking the train from this station. There are 4 train lines here, focusing on running only in the region near Porto. If anyone wants to take the train from Porto to Lisbon from this station, they will have to transfer to another train at the big Campanhã station. #100TravelTips #EuropeTravel #PortugalTravel
