Mixed after dark
The residential streets between the station and Rua Pinto Bessa are unlit and empty after about 21:00, which is exactly the stretch the walk back from the centre crosses. Take the metro or a taxi instead of walking up.
Staying in Campanhã
Every Alfa Pendular and Intercidades train from Lisbon stops at Campanhã rather than at São Bento, the intercity bus terminal moved here, and the metro interchange sits on top of both. That is the whole case for Campanhã, and it is a case for passing through it. The rooms are the cheapest in the city because the district is 3 km east of the centre, uphill on the way back, and largely a building site while the new terminal and its surroundings go up.
There is nothing to walk to once the bag is down. The Estádio do Dragão is ten minutes away and empty on 340 days of the year. The streets between the station and Rua Pinto Bessa are residential, unlit and deserted after about nine in the evening, which matters mostly because the walk down into the centre goes through them.
The good news is that the fix is free: a long-distance ticket includes the five-minute local train on to São Bento. Use it, and sleep in the centre.
What works
- Every Lisbon and Madrid long-distance train stops here, not at São Bento
- The cheapest beds in the city by a wide margin
- Metro interchange and the intercity bus terminal on the doorstep
- The local train on to São Bento is free with a long-distance ticket
What does not
- Three kilometres east of São Bento, uphill on the way back
- Nothing to walk to once you have dropped your bag
- The station surroundings are a bus terminal and a building site
- The Estádio do Dragão is dead on the 340 days there is no match
