The Presidential Train: Portugal’s Most Exclusive Journey

A Train Fit for Royalty

The Presidential Train, built in 1890, was once reserved exclusively for heads of state, visiting monarchs, and foreign dignitaries. Today, it has been restored to its former glory and offers one of the most exclusive travel experiences in Europe.

Crossing the Douro Valley

Departing from Porto, the train glides along the Douro River, surrounded by terraced vineyards and breathtaking landscapes. The journey is as much about the views as it is about the atmosphere inside the train — elegant interiors, timeless design, and flawless service.

Michelin-Starred Gastronomy on Rails

Each journey features a curated menu designed by Michelin-starred chefs, paired with the finest Portuguese wines. Dining aboard the Presidential Train is more than a meal; it’s a sensory experience combining history, culture, and gastronomy.

An Immersive Cultural Experience

Along the way, guests enjoy private wine tastings at some of the Douro’s most prestigious estates, exclusive access to vineyards, and personalized service at every step.

Tailor-Made Luxury with Portugal Travel Concierge

Booking the Presidential Train with Portugal Travel Concierge means more than a ticket. We craft an entire luxury journey around it — from private transfers and 5-star accommodations to bespoke tours of the Douro Valley.
