Union Station once served as the gateway to Denver, and the current renovations promise to return it to its former glory (including restaurant patios, fountains, a large public square, and gorgeously landscaped gardens). Although you won't be able to see the inside until the renovations are completed (in mid-2014), the exterior is absolutely beautiful and deserves a visit.
There is a great deal of construction going on there. You can still catch a train near there. When this is done, it looks like it will be magnificent! It was always easy to get to the bus stop or to the train tracks and it seems like it will be just as easy!
This is a great architectural building with a style that is not repeated in any of the modern transportation hubs that this station is undergoing. I cannot wait to see how they transform this train station into a modern multi-transportation hub (train, bus, taxi, metro rail) while preserving the classic styling of this old train station.
Spent some time here....slept on bench at the beginning of my honeymoon. Also came back here a year or 2 later to visit family while they were in between trains.
The building is awesome, the staff was efficient, and the train was on time. The gift shop was well-stocked and the bathrooms were clean.
Denver's first train station was constructed in 1868 to serve the new Denver Pacific Railway, which connected Denver to the main transcontinental line at Cheyenne, Wyoming. Now it's under construction and when complete, will house the various means of transportation. It will be as grand as some of the European stations!
Wander in here when you're in LoDo. Very nice historic building and I hear they are going to do more for the building; can't wait to see what transpires.
It is a great place for architecture, but once the construction is finished and it becomes a transit station it will be spectacular.
Union Station is a great station. It has a very grand appearance. It is very sad that it only has a couple of trains per day. It is undergoing construction that will expand it into a new rail hub.
