The Pinhao Railway Station was built in the 19th century. It is worth a walk around to see 24 different tile patterns placed on every wall in 1937. The themes of the tiles represent historic scenes in the Douro Valley. This includes the grape harvest, foot-stomping, and the rabelo boats transporting wine downriver. The station also sells wine.

A beautiful, well-preserved building, it is worth visiting for half an hour on its own account; however, we took a train from Pinhao to Regua and back and saw the beautiful views of the Douro valley as the train follows the river on a 25 minute journey each way. If you wish to take the train journey, beware! There aren't many trains and the last one is around 7pm.

Marvelled at the beauty of the station's tiled walls and was delighted by the clean bathroom used to freshen up before the picturesque 2h30 train journey back to Porto Sao Bento on 30 July 2022. After a long day, we strolled into the station's wine room for a limonada, white wine, sorbet and a cocktail. Although I like Ferreira white port, and it brought the sorbet to life in the cocktail, the white wine was too rough for Kathryn's palate. While very fruity, the berry sorbet (@5.5 euro) was more expensive than either of the alcoholic drinks. Server was very nice and welcoming - and the limonada would have been great with some vodka. The wine room also has an extensive collection of souvenirs to take home too.
