Toronto
Welcome to the busiest and one of the most impressive railway hubs in Canada, the Union station. Set right in the heart of Toronto, the complex doesn't just offer numerous train connections but also boasts a striking facade and the title of National Historic Site of Canada. At the opening ceremony of 1927, the Prince of Wales said "You build your stations like we build our cathedrals", so even if you don't have a train trip in mind, the station is definitely a sight worth checking out during the Toronto tour. Despite being a soon-to-be centenarian, inside the Union station is nothing but modern. It houses a wide range of dining and shopping facilities, from essentials like ticket vending machines, comfortable waiting rooms, and Lost & Found office to Danish Pastry House and McDonald’s.
