Entering this “Last of the Great Rail Way Stations” is like walking onto a movie set from the 1940s – an amazing mix of art deco, streamline moderne and Spanish mission styles.
Historic and still very busy place. There are new shops there which always nice, and there are connections to everywhere. That's a plus in my opinion. Other than that, a nice place to hang out and eat

Tucked into the former telephone room of the 1939 Mission-style building is Traxx, a high-end restaurant that’s a far cry from typical station food. Try the ahi tunanapoleon with crispywontons. 자세히 보기

Love the restaurantTraxx and bar. Exhibits by local artists and a beautiful mural. If you have Dodger tickets there is a shuttle that will take you to the game. Aesthetically pleasing station!
At this popular filming location, see if you can identify where they shot scenes for movies like Blade Runner, The Island, The Italian Job, Pearl Harbor and Speed.
Hermoso lugar. No tengas miedo de usar el metro de LA, si bien hay muchos junkies funciona muy bien y no corres peligro ñ, es solo incómodo. La línea roja te lleva por los lugares más turísticos.
When inside, go outside to the right and through the archways to a secluded courtyard. Grab a sandwich and drink and enjoy the koi pond. Very relaxing way to start a trip.
If youre going to take the train understand etiquette. If ppl are waiting on the platform before you dont jump in front of them when doors open. Also dont sit in the quiet car if you cant keep quiet!
the only outlet I was able to find to charge my dying phone was between the metro customer center and the fish tank in the east lobby where the Metro information phone is. by train schedule pamphlets
Love how easy and convenient to visit DTLA on metrolink from Inland Empire and/or OC suburbs. Subway ur way around after that all over LA is also just great!
Need an power outlet? The newer Metrolink cars have them spread out among the seats. Look for the cars with silver-colored exterior that don't have lots of bolts (as in nuts 'n bolts).
Late at night they let all the homeless come in and sleep for the night. Every chair on Thursday night at 11:00 had homeless people sleeping in them. Kinda sketchy. Big homeless camp across the street
Established on the site of L.A.'s first Chinatown, Union Station opened in 1939 at a cost of $11 million. Over 1 1/2 million people visited it within its first three days.
If you riding the Metrolink's you'll have to go to the window to purchase a ticket on the North West side or buy them from the vending machine on the east side of the building close to the bakery
Metrolink tickets are valid for free transfer to the Metro system. You can easily go to all your favorite locations downtown simply by purchasing a Metrolink ticket.

Help reduce LA smog: take the bus. The LA Metro was one of the first public transit agencies to use alternative fuel on a big scale. The compressed natural gas buses are over 97% cleaner.
While waiting for our train, we like to take a quiet moment in the courtyards listening to the birds and fountains. For more cozy DTLA green spaces, see "More info"... 자세히 보기
Metropolitan Lounge now open for business/sleeper class. Go past the Amtrak ticket counter, go to 2nd floor. Lounge is on your left. Smokers can smoke in 'privacy' opposite Lounge entrance. Rejoice!
Not as nice as the Union Stations on the East Coast and there is no Amtrak Lounge for sleeping car passengers pre-departure. Amtrak to San Diego, New Orleans, Chicago, Chicago via Houston and Seattle!
Union Station has been called "the last of America's great rail stations." It was revived in the 1990s, and is now the hub of L.A.'s budding subway system (still a work in progress). 자세히 보기
In the midst of good stuff: Rocking' Taquitos with Avocado sauce at Cielito Lindo across the street... And the morning pilgrimage to the Famimaconvenience store is a bargain.
Why move to the right of the escalator to let someone pass when there's an empty staircase to the left if your in a rush then use it let me stand here and chillax! !!
If you're extra tired when getting off the Red Line and wanting to transfer to Pasadena, bypass the elevators and all that walking-ask the nearest Amtrak employee about the magic teleporters!
Train to San Diego? Go online/call Super Shuttle if your hotel is far from downtown! Taxi to Loews Resort in Coronado $40 cab, $16 Shuttle! AAA link -> http://www.supershuttle.com/Sales/AAA.aspx
Ride a bike to Union Station! There's plenty of bikeparking and new bike lanes on Los Angeles St. will connect Union Station with the rest of Downtown Los Angeles.
BEAUTIFULLY decorated train station. Like you just walked into a movie set in the '20s. Well-kept and clean...Not like the train stations I remember in Europe.
The front door is only the halfway mark in your hike to the train or bus. Go through the waiting room & down the tunnel for Metrolink and Amtrak, as well as the buses at the Patsaouras Transit Plaza.
The art decorestaurant here played host to the Dixon Hill holonovel scenes from Star Trek: First Contact, including over 120 extras and 2 Borg drones! 자세히 보기
Leave your damn kids at home if you're taking the last train, better yet don't get on. You may think your kid is cute but they're really just f'ing annoying after 9 pm when people are trying to sleep.
Union Station, the main railroad station in Los Angeles & is currently serves as a transportation hub for Amtrak, Metro link, Metro & other transport services.
