Union Station is an historical landmark in Chicago, the last remaining of Chicago's great turn-of-the-century train depots. Back in the 1940's, over 300 trains arrived or departed daily and 100,000 passengers passed through the terminal. Today, about 50,000 commuters pass through Union Station each day.

While most of the daily commuters go directly to the trains and never pass through the Great Hall, which is that portion of the station that dates back to 1925. You'll want to visit that section and take in the regal stature of this historical structure with its marble floors and walls, Corinthian columns, and bronze torches.

If you need a bite to eat while visiting Union Station, you'll find a variety of options, including a cafeteria style deli with bar, a food court, Corner Bakery for sandwiches and baked goods, Gold Coast Dogs, and Connie's Pizza. Union Station also has a convenience shops for magazines, newspapers and Chicago souvenirs.
