Things to Know

Denver Union Station is a beautifully restored historic transit hub in downtown Denver known for its stunning architecture and functional blend of Amtrak service, local transit, dining, and shopping, located steps from the 16th Street Mall.

The restored Beaux-Arts architecture and grand atrium make this an impressive destination worth visiting even if you're not catching a train, with solid food and drink options to pass the time.

  • Free to walk around; guided tours are cheap and worth it for the history and architecture
  • Multiple dining and bar options with quality food (truffle fries, fresh salads, specialty coffee drinks) at reasonable prices
  • Clean, temperature-controlled interior with comfortable seating areas and a hotel inside the building
  • Active Amtrak service plus local transit connections, surrounded by shops and restaurants within walking distance
  • Restrooms are basic and not the cleanest; visible homeless presence can occupy seating meant for travelers, though security patrols are regular
  • Power outlets are locked for security, making charging devices difficult

Totally free to just walk around, but the guided tour is cheap and worth it. Beautiful architecture. Interesting history. Restored and still in use - there was an Amtrak train boarding for Chicago. Inside: coffee, food, bar, gift shop. Coffee shop had specialty drinks like Tiramisu. The Terminal bar had draft beers for about $7-8. Food was delicious. Kale salad was fresh, fries were served with a truffle aoli, crab dip was served warm in a mini skillet. Gift shop is very small and, just fyi, has a few adult items you may not want little hands accidentally grabbing - caught me by surprise lol. Completely surrounded by places to shop and eat within walking distance or use of the free 16th St shuttles. Definitely a cool place to check out when in Denver!

It was an unexpected way to start our day for our tour group to meet here! This was one highlight of our Denver trip! It almost was a miniature quieter image of Grand Central Station. With actual pews for waiting and stores, bar, snack and coffee places to grab. Felt more secure with the guards in it. The power plugs that are in plain sight were all locked tho but we were able to find one with the help of the information lady. Must stop!

Great station; very clean and kept at the right temperature! It was freezing outside and it was very comfortable inside. They also have a food court and a wonderful sitting area. You can relax and enjoy some good food while you wait for your city train or bus.

We stopped for the historic restoration but stayed for a bite. This is a much smaller Union station than say Washington DC or New York City but it maintains the same charm while being an extremely vibrant venue that brings food fun and drinks together. Also, There Are TRAINS! The food and drink choices are varied and there is a great hotel right in the building.
