A night spent at the station is no longer a miserable prospect since the opening of this cool hostel in São Bento train station. Decorated with vintage furniture and one-of-a-kind Portuguese artworks, it sure is a step up from most backpacker digs. Besides upbeat staff, there's a shared kitchen and a bar with a Mac and piano.
The entrance is right near the platforms – handy for early morning or late-night trains!
