Gare do Oriente

Use Oriente as the transport gateway to Parque das Nações; its soaring structure adds architectural interest, but the station is not a standalone attraction.

Gare do Oriente

Why go

Santiago Calatrava designed the station for Expo ’98 as a layered interchange for metro, rail and buses. The branching roof canopy gives an everyday transfer a striking Gothic-like rhythm, making it worth noticing when arriving for the Oceanário or riverfront.

What to look for

  • The elevated platforms sit beneath a branching metal-and-glass canopy with a Gothic-like rhythm.
  • Metro, commuter and regional rail, and bus services meet within the same transport complex.
  • The station belongs to the architecture created for Expo ’98 in Parque das Nações.

Useful to know

  • Treat the station as an arrival point for Parque das Nações, not as a separate sightseeing detour.
  • Check the relevant rail, metro or bus operator for live departures and platform information.
  • Pair a look at the canopy with the short onward journey to the Oceanário or Tagus promenade.
