Cais do Sodré railway station sits on Lisbon’s Tagus riverfront and functions as a major urban transport interchange. It is the rail terminus for suburban services along the Cascais line and connects directly with the Lisbon Metro and nearby river ferries.

The complex combines surface railway platforms, an underground metro station and an adjacent ferry terminal, providing frequent commuter links to western suburbs, central Lisbon and river crossings. The station area is within easy walking distance of riverside promenades and the nearby Bairro Alto and Mercado da Ribeira (Time Out Market) neighbourhoods.

Rail services at the site have served the Lisbon waterfront for many decades; the station and associated transport facilities have been adapted over time to handle commuter volumes and integrate with the city’s public transport network.

The station is located on the northern bank of the Tagus in central Lisbon, directly on the riverfront between Praça Duque de Terceira and the main riverside promenades.

• Transport hub: Interchange with the Lisbon Metro Green Line and frequent suburban trains makes this a primary commuter hub on Lisbon’s riverfront.
