Union Station is an architectural gem that opened in 1939 and features art deco and mission revival design. Find verdant courtyards, period detailing, and great dining options in retro surrounds. If you're catching an Amtrak train, you are likely heading to Union Station—the transit hub serves the West Coast, and is a stop on Amtrak's long-distance coach trains.
The conveniently-situated Union Station is a great starting point for exploring. Stretch your legs before or after a train ride at the walkable stretch of Olvera Street, located across North Alameda Street. History fans can visit the nearby Los Angeles Central Library, while arts enthusiasts should stop by the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA.
