Union Station
Union Station, opened in 1939, dazzles with its Mission‑Spanish Revival architecture, soaring vaulted ceilings, and sun‑lit courtyard adorned with towering palm trees. Step inside to admire the grand waiting hall, the iconic “Travelers’ Hall” with its ornate tile mosaics, and the historic “Ticket Lobby” where movie stars once posed. Grab a coffee at the chic Starbucks or a bite at the nearby El Mercado, then wander to the adjacent Olvera Street’s Mexican marketplace, the Grammy Museum’s pop‑culture exhibits, or hop on the Red Line to Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. The station’s art installations, like the “Lights of the City” mural, make every stop a photo opportunity.
