The Instagrammers of Sao Bento
Jan 03, 2023, 09:08 AM
The Sao Bento train station in Porto is a stunning space and no mistake - the entrance hall is full of stunning azulejo tile images depicting scenes from Portuguese history, and the feel is more of a stunning palace than a train station.
Of course, given that it's possibly one of the world's most beautiful stations, it's full of tourists at all times, and the entrance hall seemed to be more full of people taking photos for Instagram than actual travellers. This recording captures a busy entrance hall, and out onto the platforms we hear announcements and the hissing of trains.
