"Sao Bento Railway Station is one of the most beautiful stations I´ve ever seen. It is located in the historical centre of the city. I know that you probably wonder "why should I go to see the railway station?" but this building looks really amazing. It shows the typical Portuguese style called azulejo (the blue paintings on the wall). It tells stories from the history. A lot of buidings in Porto are covered with these paintings, for example Chapel of Souls and most of the old houses."
