Lisbon Metro
Description:
The official opening of the metro in Lisbon took place at the end of December 1959. There were only two lines at the time. Four years later, the third and in 1998 the fourth line was connected. Each of them is not only marked with a certain color, but also has its own symbol. The blue one has a gull, the yellow one has a sunflower flower, the green one has a sailboat and the red one has a compass that points east.
Each metro station is decorated in its own style. These are original design ideas in the form of drawings, graffiti, panels on the walls. They are so unique that they can easily be attributed to contemporary art. There is a mosaic illustrating the history of Portugal, and abstraction on the walls, and neo-conceptualism, and art house made of tiles. Among other things, author statues are installed at the stations.
For the convenience of metro visitors, a digital scoreboard is installed at each station, which shows ads in two languages: Portuguese and English.
