Presidential train

It's more than just a journey; it's an immersive experience in a museum on rails.

This is a joint project by CP - Comboios de Portugal, the National Railway Museum Foundation and Chef Chakall in a celebration of Portugal's railway history, turning a museum piece into a dynamic, interactive experience. It's an invitation to magic.

The Presidential Train, which is the property of the National Railway Museum, was built in 1890. It has carried heads of state over a century and is one of the museum's most iconic relics of railway history in Portugal.
