By 2007, Lisbon's subway will have four lines, 40 km long with a total of 52 stations.

Expansion will increase and by 2010, 32 new stations will have been constructed under Lisbon's historical locations. Investment will be around 1.400 million euros. For example, Lisbon's older and historical locations to be served by the metro as early as 2010 are: Estrela, São Bento, Academia das Ciências, Príncipe Real, Avenida, Campo Mártires da Pátria, Gomes Freire, Estefânia, Arroios, Paiva Couceiro, Penha de França, Sapadores, Graça, Cerca Moura e Santa Apolónia.

Lisbon's metro is full of Art from world known artists, so if you haven't got time to visit an art exposition, then catch the metro in Lisbon.

Lisbon's subways is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, even though some of the original stations are of a very questionable taste...but they are being "renovated" and thus joining in the system that even appears in tourist guides for the originality and beauty of its stations.

Lisbon's subways is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen, even though some of the original stations are of a very questionable taste...but they are being "renovated" and thus joining in the system that even appears in tourist guides for the originality and beauty of its stations.

well, when they were built European funds didn't exist...but let me tell you that even today most London and Paris underground stations are of a questionable taste....

Lisbon's Metro is definitely my favorite system (or at least tied with Montreal). The public art is amazing, and everywhere (Parque is phenomenal). I still can't get over the idea that there are fare gates now. My concern is, considering the ongoing budget woes in Portugal and the engineering fiasco that the T. de Paco station became, will any of the extensions that are not yet currently in construction ever really be built? That implies questions such as, will Alcantara ever have metro service? Portela (the airport)? The only construction going on now is the (truly needed) crosstown extension of the Red Line to and the Blue Line extension to Santa Apolonia rail station. But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for much more very soon.

Perhaps they should buy some air conditioned cars instead? ;-)

the onli problem until now was onli the extention to Santa Apolonia and specialy T. Paco station (blue line) but the problem with the tunel is now solve and the line it wil be open next yeare, the airport (Portela) and Alcantara are the next projects, now they are make the extention of red line to C. Ourique, a very populated area.

pics of the recent station of Senhor Roubado in yellow line, one of the 3 stations above the ground in Lisbon metro system, the system have now 44 stations, is a simple station but elegant:

Thanks Arpels.

;)

Wow! What a modern and nice looking subway network! I'm impressed!

The new stations and lineas are really beautiful. They must now improve some of the oldest stations who looks dark...

is trew there is 5 or 6 old dark stations and some are now in renovation (Roma and Alavalade) but I herd that they have plans to rebuilt that stations soon!!

Great, cause they look really dark when I visited them last January

yup I use one of that old stations all day's in the old yelow line!!

:applause: Paulo!!!:)
I'm never tired of see pics of these fantastic stations!!!;)

yup I use one of that old stations all day's in the old yelow line!!
Which station, Arpels?
In the yellow line?? But all of them in this line were recovered...:)

@ Reflex Intedente/Anjos/arroios/Areeiro/Roma (em remodelação)/Alvalade (em remodelação).

Yeah, I know, but all of them are in the green line...;)
Arroios, Areeiro, Roma and Alvalade have been recovering because they are too short, not allowing 6 carriages trains...

Hey guys, I have some photos of (mainly new) lisbon metro stations.
If you care to check them out, here they are:
http://nunovski.fotopic.net/c226356.html

Looks like Paulo was faster... m))

Paulo forgot to mention that the "old building" next to the Picoas art-deco entrance is mainly the metro company's main office.

pics of the recent station of Senhor Roubado in yellow line, one of the 3 stations above the ground in Lisbon metro system, the system have now 44 stations, is a simple station but elegant:

Well it seems that last year (2004) the metro company settled for functionality instead of sheer beauty and grandeur (i.e. Olaias station). I prefer getting the system upgraded and extended faster to spending bucketloads of money to build stations like Olaias which has one of the lowest number of people entering it every day.

Lumiar stations has some small phrases in the wall in several languages...:okay:

Lumiar can't be. Parque maybe?...

Very great!
I'd like to know where is the viaduct in the photos.

It's difficult to explain without a map but i'll try...

The viaduct lies where the metro red line intersects the railway line linking the Roma-Areeiro and Chelas CP stations.

belas fotos :D

Thanks :tongue2:

Beautiful indeed.

Nuno can sure take excellent photos. Keep up the good work.

they could use beauty and grandeur with out spend a lot of money and with functionality dont you agree?

Hi!

I was in Lisbon in June and I was very surprised.
In my guidebook, the extension of Linha Azul to the Santa Apolonia train station was marked as under construction and "to be opened in 2003". What happened?
Why isn't that extension open? Is there any info about progress of construction?

Hi!!
it continues in contruction after having a problem with the tunel in Comercio square but the problem is now solved and they have plans to open that part of blue line in the end of thys yeare.

:yes:

You cannot have a station which is outstanding for the price of a just as ordinary station can you? ;)


Just build them modern and all based on the same station model(like they do in Madrid). This way you will get good modern stations and you won't spend huge amounts of money building them.

Ok, but won't that simply mean that all lines will look dull and uninteresting? I mean, isn't diversity a part of today's modern cities?

Fotos muito belas!
:okay:
Muito obrigado.
;)

Ok, but won't that simply mean that all lines will look dull and uninteresting? I mean, isn't diversity a part of today's modern cities?

Well, if you take as an example Madrid (which I refered to in my post), I think stations look modern and beautifull, and not dull.

Also, it's not an art galery, it's a metro system. People want to fell in a nice environment with modernly designed stations, with full acess to disabled people and with escalators instead of regular staris (a problem in Lisbon... lack of escalators).
Air conditioning in the stations is something which is highly apreciated by passengers too...

That's what matters... and not if the station has some kind of art expositure.... that comes next....

Very nice. One of my favourites too. Very modern and even nice stations.

How fast does the subway go there? In Oslo, the speedlimit is 70km/t.

Well I don't agree. There's a saying in Lisbon that goes like this: If you haven't got time to visit an art gallery, then visit Lisbon's subway.

^I must say that I like the new stations recently opened in the yellow line, like the one you show above. :)

They are not full of art, but they look modern and beautifull, and I like that!

You're absolutely right. I always end up forgeting to mention that important fact.

Definitely one of the best subway stations of the world.

...Although PAINFULLY small...

...Although PAINFULLY small...

But always in expansion, specially now.

Its nice - but the design of stations and the quality of the art is not that great considering the beauty and richness of the city of Lisbon above - Lisbon should learn from the systems in Madrid and Athens.

jesus I love the art in Lisbon Metro

Its nice - but the design of stations and the quality of the art is not that great considering the beauty and richness of the city of Lisbon above - Lisbon should learn from the systems in Madrid and Athens.

Portuguese tiles are a traditional, true means of expression. Those that can appreciate such art know that these art forms expressed in tiles or in portuguese ceramics are of extreme quality. Portuguese metro stations or any other construction related to transport do not (and I hope never will) copy any other system in europe or elsewhere. What is unique about it, is that its truely portuguese!

I was in Lisbon in 2004.

I agree that Portuguese tiles are beautiful and very fitting for the Lisbon Metro. But that theme of using Portuguese tile, “Azulejos”, is not exploited to its highest expression. I was not impressed on the whole.

While some Lisbon Metro stations are beautiful, I just find the design of the system stations (as a whole) is not of consistent in esthetic quality. They are not coherent in design approach and the architecture of the stations is not that original. It takes more than to "azulejos" in the stations to make them original.

I was not suggesting to copy literally the metros in Madrid or Athens but rather to learn from their approach to consistent quality in the architectural design of the stations, creativity in their expressions of cultural identity, and their careful selection of art work for the metro.

Don’t read me wrong: Lisbon's metro is an excelent system but designwise, in my view, it is not as great as it could be considering the rich cultural heritage of Portugal .

I think that Madrid and Athens should display art in their subway systems, like Lisbon.

They do have Art - Here is an sample from the Athens Metro - they have an approach consistent and in tuned with their past and present. It is a different approach...

The Athens metro's display of art is nothing compared to that of Lisbon.

The Athens metro's display of art is nothing compared to that of Lisbon.

you are right, they are very different. athens displays centuries old artifacts. both decoration schemes are unique, and I love them both.

I agree - it's a matter of taste - I just dont find the Lisbon Metro anything special other than...nice. I dont see much in the Lisbon Metro that speaks of Portugal. And use of tile/ceramics is not enough. Its a nice Metro that could be anywhere in the world. For me Athens is a much better designed system and far more unique in its approach

Systagma station is beautiful but the athor stations of Athens are like Syntagma too? all subways have good and better stations and I think Lisbon have very good stations with nice panel´s of tiles and tiles are typical of Lisbon (they are every ware, buildings, churches and etc) like Hellenic culture is tipical of Athens and they use that very well in ther stations.

There is nothing unique or special about the Lisbon Metro - I have been to Portugal several times (last time in 2004) and do love Portugal but the overall quality of the Metro is not that great. I can think of many metros inside and outside Europe that are far better. Maybe I am a little hard in my critique because i am an Architect and for me it takes more that just colorful tile to make a metro system design great. I will leave it at that. Good Luck

its your opinion!!

This can only be said by someone who is obviously not Portuguese. Anyway, I guess it's like explaining to someone what Fado is.

Athens metro is OBVIOUSLY as it is, because its practically brand new!!!!

I think such suggestions, although I respect them, should be sent to New York's metro transport authorities......or Boston's for that matter.

ele nunca há de perceber Paulo..

There is nothing unique or special about the Lisbon Metro - I

that is NOT true.

:nono:

Lisbon still the best in the arts.

Very unique system.

Oi Paulo -

Quick question about the picture showing the blue tile ceiling with the escalators on either side: what is the purpose of the bars along the side of the staircase? Is it meant to keep someone from falling all the way down the steps if they trip? It seems that the bars would get in the way and do more harm than good. Just curious.

Well I did some asking, and apparently they are there to avoid someone tumbling down the long staircase. Should someone triple, they can always hold onto the bars.

Valeu Paulo - obrigado.

These two photos are in fact from two stations on different lines.
The first is indeed a view of the Alameda terminal station on the Red (Vermelha) Line. The second shows the stairways on the Baixa-Chiado station that lead to the Crucifixo and Ouro streets.

Particularly for a relatively small city, Lisbon's subway is really very extensive. A great complement to a beautiful port with lots of history.

Hello!

Are they going to open new stations soon?

i dunno... but there are rumours of an expansion at Lisbon Metro.

but i think that's false... Portugal main projects for now are TGV link between Porto - Lisbon, Lisbon - Madrid and Porto - Vigo / Lisbon new intl. airport / Porto new intl. airport / and Porto Metro expansion.

but in the future it´s probably that Lisbon Metro expand their lines and stations... mainly to the suburbs.

that is a beautiful entrance way to the metro

Thanks!

Finally they are going to open those stations on the blue line.
I have a map of Lisboa and it says the station Sta. Apolonia should be open by the end of 2004. I understand that they must have had some problems with building tunnels or stations.
Anyway your metro is beautifull. I saw most of the stations last year. :)

Paulo,very nice looking-stations.:okay:

I agree - it's a matter of taste - I just dont find the Lisbon Metro anything special other than...nice. I dont see much in the Lisbon Metro that speaks of Portugal. And use of tile/ceramics is not enough. Its a nice Metro that could be anywhere in the world. For me Athens is a much better designed system and far more unique in its approach

Why does it have to speak of Portugal?

Very informative pics! Searching back in this thread I saw an argument about whether Athens metro is better looking than Lisbon metro. Well, let me express my opinion.
Metros can be beautiful in 2 different ways. One kind of beauty lies in the innovative architectural design incorporating artistic elements. Here I am not talking about statues or sculptures scattered here and there. Such embellishments can be installed any time in any metro system! What I mean is the structure of the stations itself. In this respect Lisbon metro is one among the few systems in the world that have a similar approach. Of course number one worldwide is Moscow metro, followed by St. Petersburg, Kiev, Santiago, Stockholm, Montreal and finally Lisbon.
Another kind of beauty relies more on cleanness, bright colors, plentiful lighting, wide spaces, luxurious facing materials such as marble etc. Athens metro belongs to this category. It is a bit difficult to find other systems of this kind in Europe. One has to travel to East Asia to look for rivals of the Athens metro. Such examples are found in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Bangkok, Singapore and even in New Delhi. A prerequisite is that cleaning personnel works all day, otherwise the metro system degrades (for instance Vienna metro would belong to this category if they did not save on personnel).
The ideal metro would be one that combines the 2 kinds of beauty, but that does not exist.
About Lisbon metro, I am looking forward to the extension to Santa Apolonia. Maybe then I decide to visit the city for the first time! As for the other extensions, I would like to see a straight metro line reaching the airport instead of the tortuous red line.

When all that, please?

Eram 16h04 quando cheguei à Baixa/Chiado, via linha verde. Subi as escadas a correr, na expectativa de apanhar o primeiro comboio a percorrer o troço, mas não tive essa sorte... Fui no segundo para o "cais terminal" da linha azul :lol:!

When I've been to Lisboa 17 years ago there were trams in front of Santa Apolonia station. I can not see them on this map. Have they been removed? It would be sad..

Yes, I think so...

I stayed in Lisbon for 1 year from 1994-1995. During that time, the extension to Santa Apolonia and Cais do Sodre had just started being built. And the trains were in very old. Feel very nice to see Lisbon metro that I rode during the time almost everyday has totally been changed. Good job and tenho saudade muito de ti, Lisboa. :)

Very nice!

Any new pictures of the new stations?

Wonderful!

When I've been to Lisboa 17 years ago there were trams in front of Santa Apolonia station. I can not see them on this map. Have they been removed? It would be sad..



Yes .. .sadly when they did the Expo1998 they renewed the riverside steets and the trams were no more ...


All the way from Baixa/Terreiro do Paço (namelly the loop at Campo das Cebolas) to Xabregas and beyond (where the complete renewall of the landscape took place for Expo'98) they replaced the old trams with articulated bus services. :ohno:

But there are plans for a reinstalment of "proper" tram routes in lisboa again ... one of them is precisely the T.Paço to Oriente along the riverside. :cheers:

^^ Wow this is a cool system.

Thanks.

Very nice system. But for such a modern metro network why is there such a lack of escalators. I can understand in metro's like Paris which is very old and in many cases not too deep, but many of the Lisbon stations are quite deep and many steps but no escalators.

No escalators ???


From platform level to HALL there's always stairs + elevators ... only from the hall to surface there is escalators ... and in the exit usually theres a couple of steps also. :cheers:

This of course in the new (post 1980) stations ... in the old sub-surface stations theres no escalators at all ... :ohno:

The answer is simple ... theres elevators for those needing mobility ... escalators (and walking carpets (?)) are there only when theres a great different between hall's. :cheers:

Interesting. Maybe I missed them, but I seemed to find them missing from even the newer stations. I remember a few in the central part of the city that had these great halls, but only steps.

If they are there, are they well sign posted? It does become a hassle when carrying heavy bags after or before a flight when travelling.

The Green line is not that deep (except at the southern end) with most of it being an old cut and cover just below st level stations.

You may be thinking of some of the inner Blue Line (seagull Line) stations from Marquez to Baixa. The two new stations between Baixa and Santa Apolonia have escalators. Baixa seems quite deep, esp if you enter/exit from the west side as it has about 4 different elevators to get from street to concourse level.

Some of the newer stations on the Yellow (Seagull) line north of Campe Grande are very deep esp Ameixoeira which seems like is has been converted from a large, deep old missle silo.

I assume that in due course all stations will need some form of elevator/escalator access for the disabled in order to comply with EU requirements.

Interesting. Maybe I missed them, but I seemed to find them missing from even the newer stations. I remember a few in the central part of the city that had these great halls, but only steps.

If they are there, are they well sign posted? It does become a hassle when carrying heavy bags after or before a flight when travelling.


The design of the newest metro stations is a disgrace: they have long walking corridors with unjustifiable twist and turns and complete absence of escalators from platform to halls - in its place there are a kind of bottleneck stairs (i.e. Baixa, S.Sebastião), which are narrower at the top making difficult the flowing of passengers. These newest stations may be aesthetically pleasent but are completely user-UNfriendly. The responsible for their design are peolpe who have never and will never have to travel by metro, otherwise they would not commit such gross design errors.

Once i finally reach Portugal i promise i wont miss Lisbon (Lisszabon in hungarian :))

Just been in Lisbon 5 days ago! I've never enjoyed a trip that much in Europe! Great city, great public transport, loved the metro!! :cheers:

As far as I can recall, some are, others don't....in Portugal there is some problems in this aspect...the heavy bags are a problem...yes, but for me this takes special importance when we are talking about older, or some mobility handicap...

But in general like sotavento said, this is a problem in the older metro stations...

You can see construction going on on the red line.
I am have forgotten exactly when the Linha Vermelha ext to the Airport is due to open, does anyone know? Construction has been going on for about 3 yrs so I guess there is 1-2yrs to go before it is finished?

beautiful stations! but why are trains not so aesthetically pleasing?

Any plans for the red line to the airport? I see it listed as "planned" on some maps. I will be there in May...it will be nice to be able to avoid having to take a bus if possible.

That extension will not be open until September/October of 2011!!

Ah! I will only miss it by a few months!

O, Sept/Oct 2011 is good period! What about Amdora Este – Reboleira?
Any developments for other projects – I mean extension of the Yellow line from Rato, extension of the Red line from Sao Sebastiao. Also I am interested if there are some real plan for extension of metro Sul de Teju.
Sorry for asking, but I find very little information in English about these projects.

beautiful metro! :)

1) That is planned as the next expansion of the Lisbon Subway, but all plans are stall, waiting for better days!!!:cry::cry::cry:


2) There is another map of several expansions (on wikipedia) that was presented last year [for election reasons], but it was already post aside!!

There are planned 3 phases, only the first one is done!!


The 2nd and 3rd phases [continuation of the Blue and Yellow Line] are waiting for viability of the Metro Sul do Tejo existing network!!


The main reason for the lack of the viability is that the machines that validate the ticket are inside the vehicle, an only a few percentage of the passengers validate the ticket when someone comes to see!!!

Thank you Pai Nosso. Very useful information.
It is a pity that no new fast growing projects will be developed in next few years. I think that Lisbon metro system is very efficient and with small extensions will be almost perfect. I like it.
May I ask about the situation with new airport of Lisbon – is it a real one or just some imaginative project. I suppose the new airport has to change the Lisbon metro and rail system. What do you think?

And this map from wikimedia is completely new and shows totally different idea about Lisbon metro, i think

It`s a real project, and it will be made (when money re-appears again), perhaps not in 2017 as initial projected, but a few years later!!

I`m not from Lisbon area, and i can`t give you a real idea, but i think that the general idea is that the metro system will remain the same, and concerning the railway system it will be made a railway line (through a shuttle » alongside the future High-Speed Line Lisbon-Madrid) connecting Lisbon (Gare do Oriente Station) » New Bridge » New Airport!!

Any new pictures of the new stations?
