Station Alive Restaurant – Farminhão

Highlight • Restaurant

In the old Farminhão Station there is now the Station Alive Restaurant, open every day, and where you can have lunch or regain strength. The old and magnificent iron locomotives were replaced by a more modest wooden composition where people can travel without leaving the same place and drink their coffee.

Treixedo Railway Station

Highlight • Structure

Unlike the vast majority of railway stations on the old Dão line, which are now part of the Ecopista do Dão attraction, Treixedo station has not been restored. There have already been several projects for its reuse, but for some reason they have not progressed.

The starting point in Viseu is on the site of the railway station building, which has since been demolished. Viseu is now completely cut off from rail traffic.
