PORTUGAL'S BEST ROMANTIC HOTELS - HOTEL TALISMAN

At the historical center of Ponta Delgada, in Azores, we can find a charming hotel overlooking a beautiful park, the Hotel Talisman.

Its interior reveals the secret of good taste from open colors, textures and a hint of luxury, to the flow of the stairs and the warm glow of the winter garden. The old wing is elegantly furnished in a classical style, whilst the new wing offers accommodation in a more minimalist style.

ART IN LISBON METRO

Ever since the construction of the first stations in the 1950s, it has been the Lisbon Metro’s goal to make the underground environment more and more friendly to the user.

It has been called "an underground gallery", with many of its stations decorated by modern artists. The most outstanding is the red line, with spacious stations covered in tile panels with contemporary designs. Other stops feature sculptures and quotes by famous authors and philosophers.

LISBON ORIENT STATION

Designed by the Spanish arquitect Santiago Calatrava to the Lisbon Expo ’98, the Lisbon Orient Station’s complex is covered by a structure similar to a fishing net, since the Expo’s main theme was the Portuguese Discoveries. It is one of the most important stations of the city, it’s connected to the subway and it even has a floor to temporary events.

Allen Lambert Galleria

The building is similar to Calatrava’s Allen Lambert Galleria, in Toronto, and has gothic traces as well. The Lisbon Orient Station is one of the the world’s largest stations, with 75 million passengers per year, almost as busy as the Grand Central Terminal in New York.
