What people say

Brandon Roertgen
"Located in the downtown urban center of Pittsburgh, Penn Station (also called Union Station) is a reminder of the former glory of the railroads and the Pennsylvania Railroad, in particular. The eastbound Capitol Limited is scheduled to arrive at 5:05 a.m. and has a dwell time of 15 minutes while its crew changes and the normal station work is done. Amtrak has a scheduled connection at the station to the Pennsylvanian (Pittsburgh-NYC via Philadelphia), which departs at 7:30 a.m. In reverse, the westbound Pennsylvanian arrives around 8 p.m. for an 11:59 p.m. departure on the Capitol Limited. The station itself doesn’t have much of anything for food options aside from a vending machine. On top of that, its location is surrounded by office buildings and highways, so the restaurants are scarce. Despite the station, Pittsburgh is a fantastic city to spend a few days and has a rich culture. The homes of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates (often rated the best baseball stadium in the entire country) are across the Allegheny River. Meanwhile, the nightlife, historic districts and Fort Duquesne are to the west of the station. "

"An interesting visit if you want to look more into US history, with captivating museums and almost a European vibe when strolling along the streets."
