Why you should go…

Denver's Union Station has served travelers since 1881, with the current Beaux-Arts building dating to 1914 and a major restoration completed in 2014. The Great Hall now holds restaurants, a bookstore, and a bar built into the old ticket counter, alongside a working Amtrak and light-rail terminal. It's free to walk through and a natural downtown meeting point.
