Lonely Planet review

Fabulous Gare do Oriente station was designed by world-renowned Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. With the redevelopment of the area for the '98 Expo, this station was many people's first glimpse of the Expo site - and of Calatrava. Famed for his open buildings and bridges, Calatrava created an airy, vaulted structure with an almost skeletal frame.

The metro station below features azulejo (handpainted tile) works by international artists.
