Union Station

When we fully immerse ourselves in the city, we become flâneurs or badauds, observers and interpreters of urban life. We watch the unfolding drama of city life and read its signs. The best psychological defense mechanism for city dwellers is not indifference or numbness but rather an immersion in the sights, sounds, emotions, and sensations that the city offers. Charlie Chaplin saw the city resident as a collector of small incidents. The city is not only a tangible, physical entity but also a product of our imagination and experience. Whether we travel by bus, train, subway, drive ourselves, or walk, we create our own mental map of the city as we go.nnTo live in a city means to engage with it, not just pass through it. It’s about allowing the hustle and bustle to permeate your senses, becoming a part of the environment rather than a detached spectator. Cities, with their endless layers of activity and noise, offer a vast tableau of experiences to those who choose to observe closely.

Really nice restaurant in Union Station near the York St. entrance. Friendly service and the place looked great. It doesn't feel like you're in a train station. The ravioli was delicious. Highly recommended!

Union is a great place to visit for tourists for many reasons: easy access to the CN tower, Rogers center, all GO Train lines that go through Toronto, subways, the UP express train to Pearson airport, the Harbourfront, and so much to see even just in union station! Art murals, paintings, Toronto history, shops, restaurants, Canadian snacks... To summarize, union is a must-go for tourists in Toronto, with easy access to popular tourist spots. Just be sure to bring a map!

The station is vibrant with beautiful architecture, plenty of shops, and great dining options. It's clean, spacious, and well-organized, making it easy to navigate. Whether you're commuting or exploring the city, it’s a must-visit landmark blending history and modern convenience. You can connect to UP, GO, VIA and TTC services from here,

Lovely, safe, bright, and clean station. My only issue is that the bus platform is difficult to find off York Street, signage is wrong. Trains are numbered, buses are lettered. Outdoor York signage at one point has lettered sign pointing to absolutely nowhere. Only walking into the station from Bay which appears to be merged with the Scotiabank Arena and is slightly confusing can you see the large bus platforms escalator sign.
