Tube Station in Lisbon, Portugal.


Own photos.
While staying with a friend in the Algarve in mid August, we decided to take a trip to Lisbon for a few days. I had never been to Lisbon and didn't really know what to expect. I did not however expect to step out of a tube into this station, which was brand new! The vaulted body of the space is beautiful. It was tilled in white which reflected the warm orange and neon purple lighting perfectly.

Information was projected up onto the tiled walls. This didn't work particularly well in my mind, as the white writing was difficult to identify on the reflective surface. Maybe if the lighting was not purple it would be easier. Or the colours could change due to times/new information.

On exciting the station we to trekked up five flights of stairs. Thank god there was a escalator! The vaults flowed up the stair well.
