It is an inter-modal exchange connecting the Lisbon Metro, rail-lines and river terminal centre, a complex situated at the Duque de Terceirasquare.
The station is adjacent to the Lisbon Metro station (which is the terminus for the Metro's Green Line) and isolated along the northern margin of Tagus River, with ferry service to Cacilhas, Seixal and Montijo (the Transtejo & Soflusa service).

The station comprises a building with three bodies juxtapositioned in an "U" design, with the steel and tiled central hall covering the rail-lines that parallel the Tagus River and Avenida 24 de Julho.
The main hall, that includes the vestibule ticket offices, is a rectangular body with terrace oriented to the northeast.
Its main facade is divided into three sections with the identical lateral bodies of smaller dimensions, with the central composed of five ample bodies on the first floor, decorated by extensive rectangular flaps supported by four corbels.
To the second floor, is an ample surface topped by depressed arch, decorated by small geometric elements in triangular forms.
The lateral bodies, that include one per floor are demarcated and separated by a panel of rectangular mosaics.
Flanking the pans, are striated bronze columns that extend down to the bas-relief of the same material that finishes the span of the second floor.
To finish off the facade, there is a paltibanda with cornice in a collapsed arch.

Attached to the main building are two similar annex bodies with identical facades, consisting of two floors of simple rectangular spans decorated in intervals by geometric mosaic panels.
The northern rectangular body, covered in tile, has an extensive facade that parallels the public roadway.
The eastern annex is an "L"-shape building with lateral facade oriented to the south that correspond to administrative services.
Juxtapositioned to the main body on either side are triangular spans with curved apex that resembles the decorative discourse of the main facades.

The Art Deco design was by Porfírio Pardal Monteiro (1897–1957) and the Metro station is decorated with works by abstract artist António Dacosta, in addition to an underground waterfall.
