Since we have been to Lisbon, Portugal many times, we decided to take a local train to Cascais. What a beautiful city. Ambiance - Local train, not good or bad. Not busy. Not clean, but also not dirty. On time. Service - Had a hard time trying to buy our tickets as the machines were NOT in English. And struggled using Google Translate while underground. The people around us were too busy to help us. Finally, we went to the cafe to ask for help. The owner sold us a one day pass rather than a round trip pass... Since we had the more expensive pass (double the price rather than round trip tickets) we decided to make an extra stop at Belem to get our $$ worth. Then when we got back, we found these two tourist girls also struggling to buy their train tickets, so we gave them ours as we were trying to pay it forward. Glad the tickets can get more use. I do not think they were trying to rip us off, but there was a language barrier. We appreciated the help. Price - Bought a one day pass. I think we paid approximately $8 US for each ticket. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

On the green line, the next station is Baixa-Chiado towards Telheiras. The metro station is completely handicapped accessible with lifts and escalators between the street level and platform level. There are automated ticket vending machines for the metro. I was here to catch the ferry, which of course is at street level. Separate vending machines for ferry tickets and a clear display indicating not only how long until the next ferry departs, the gate (there are three gates) and what percentage full. Purchasing the ferry ticket was easy (only €1.80 including the €0.50 for a new Viagem card) and quick. I was able to buy my ticket at 16:35, scan it and still board the 16:40 ferry to Cacilhas. There is a small waiting area and then boarding the ferry was easy. [Review 16625 overall - 142 in Portugal - 136 of 2022.]

From here, you can change between the Linha Azul (blue line) and the Linha Verde (green line). It is quite a deep station, some 150 feet below the surface because it is under one of the seven hills of Lisbon. Expect escalators. The station opened in 1998. The station has four tracks each with side platforms. It is handicapped accessible. On the blue line, it is between Restauradores (toward Reboleira) and Terreiro do Paço (toward Santa Apolónia).

There are ticketing kiosks which is useful because my 24 hour pass from the Lisbon network didn't work here. Cheap enough for an 8 minute ride - less than €2 each way. They have clearly visible signs showing not only how long until the next ferry departs but also what percent full it is. Helpful info! There is a small convenience store and some other retail. The station was under major renovations when I was here in January 2022. Easy connection to the trams and buses which took me most of the way to the Christ statue. I returned with a walk along the waterfront after dinner at Ponto Final and that five star review is coming soon. Inside the waiting area, some seating and some vending machines. The "boarding" sound goes and everyone starts moving for the ferry. It's an easy walk for a shop that does this a dozen times a day back and forth across the river. Overall, as pleasant an experience as one can have on mass transit.

Once you exit the…read moremetro/underground, the signage to enter Oriente is pretty poor, so look for very small train icons pointing with arrows. You essentially have to go up about three levels to get to Oriente. Once there, there are ticket machines and a ticket booth. Although I had tickets already, I had a question and the gentleman was very nice and informative (he spoke limited English). I recommend waiting in the main concurse (open air) rather than going to the platform. Whiles there's a canopy over the tracks, it can be quite bright and there's not a lot of room to sit. Another advantage of waiting on the main concourse is there's a little cafe and vending machines. The cafe has a few tables and sells drinks, coffee, sandwiches, and desserts. The cafe only accepts cash. Be ready to deal with an attendant who could be friendlier. Overall, decent train station but it needs better signage, as it lacks a large screen with all upcoming arrivals and departures. You also can't hear announcements very well. Pro Tip: If you want to grab drinks and food for the train, there's a supermarket inside the mall across the street.

This is a very old station and comes with that some challenges, such as escalators and elevators that do not work, poor signage, kiosks out of order, very grimy restrooms, and uneven stone flooring that makes rolling bags or heels challenging (and loud :-)).
