Right down town. Very historic building still in frequent use. Great architecture. One of the buildings has been converted to the Museum of Contemporary Art. Too bad that tall buildings now obscure most of the view of the building.

The history here is fantastic. Make sure you walk around and check out the great architecture. Catching the train here is easy whether it's Amtrak or the local trolley. right downtown on the waterfront with lots of parking close by.

We took the train on Christmas Day from north of Los Angeles all the way to the end of the track in downtown San Diego. The business class section was very nice and they have water and snacks.

Very relaxing. Inside the station further ornate designs are to be seen. The main hall has splendid suspended lighting below a wonderful ceiling of alternate wood and plaster. It is quite easy to navigate, aided by numerous cafes and other eatery outlets.…

Great train station in the heart of San Diego. Multiple local transit lines serve the station or just across the street, making it easily accessible. Take 15-20 minutes and walk around.
