Portugal 

Trains in Portugal are not always as fast and efficient as one is used to in most countries of the western world, but they do manage to keep their schedule most of the time. A particularity of the Portuguese railways is the way crossings are looked after by mostly elderly women. With three mayor railway stations, Lisbon is easily reached by train. You can either arrive at Estacão de Santa Apolonia, Estacão Rossio, which is an impressive building in the middle of town. If you come from the south you’ll arrive at the station across the Rio Tejo or river Tagus. From here you’ll have to take the free ferry to Lisbon. It may seem a bit troublesome, but it’s an appropriate way to reach this old city of ocean explorers.
