Chicago

"The Windy City’s Union Station is a major hub for Amtrak services with eight long distance departures (and subsequent arrivals) every day as well as several shorter distance corridor trains (some with multiple frequencies). CUS sees several thousand passengers every day just for Amtrak as well as many more for regional Chicago (CTA) travels. Connections can be made to Amtrak long-distance trains headed toward Seattle/Portland (Empire Builder), Los Angeles (Southwest Chief), New York (Cardinal & Lake Shore Limited), Emeryville (California Zephyr), Washington (Capitol Limited), New Orleans (City of New Orleans) and San Antonio (Texas Eagle). Union Station is located just west of the Chicago River and spans nearly 10 city blocks (mostly underground), however, numerous entrances are located at street level. The station is also served by CTA buses & trains, Megabus and Greyhound. Located in the West Loop neighborhood of Chicago, it is a brief walk to the heart of the city or other tourist attractions like Millennium Park and the lakefront. There is no shortage of food options in the surrounding blocks of the station or really anywhere in Chicago. If you’re up for a walk, head east across the Chicago River and north along Wacker Drive to eventually run into the riverwalk for some more dining options. Chicago truly is a city where you do not need a car and can use any one of several transportation options to get around, most likely the L or city buses. So whether you’re looking to visit Navy Pier, Wrigley Field, see a White Sox game, an aquarium, a planetarium or any one of the many museums and parks, there’s a really good chance you’ll be able to leave the driving to someone else!"
