The world’s best railway museum!

Did you know that King Pedro V presided over the very first train journey between Lisbon Santa Apolónia and Carregado on 28 October 1856? Did you know that the first train was built in England? And that it played a crucial role in connecting people? It’s true! Important messages were communicated through the telegraph systems available at the stations...
