Although not the travel hub it once was, this station is a must-see for those interested in Chicago architecture. The grand hall is breathtaking with giant Roman columns sweeping up to the ceiling, as statues glare down upon the rows of benches and the busy commuters below. Union Station is currently home to both Amtrak and the Metra commuter trains. The Amtraks head all over the country, while... more

Serves 50,000 Metra commuters every day. Union Station also connects Chicago to more than 500 North American destinations. Construction began in 1916 and was completed nine years later. The concourse building was torn down in 1969 and replaced by the office tower that stands there now. The Great Hall was spared, simply because developers had no immediate plans for the land.

Union Station, owned by Amtrak and partially leased by the Metra commuter rail system, features a 10-story waiting area as well as distinctive architectural details. (In the 1987 film "The Untouchables," an out-of-control baby buggy hurtled down the station's Canal Street stairs.) The vintage 1925 station, located between Adams and Jackson, was renovated in 1992. It boasts restaurants,... more

Rather underwhelming

The main lobby is pretty impressive -- if just for its size. But nothing's there. The trains all leave from under the building next door (to the east) and even the ticket booths and food joints are across the street. This is no Grand Central Station -- that's for sure. Get off the train and go experience Chicago -- no need to hang around here.

Pros

+ It's just, plain big

Cons

- Not much to see
