Fodor's Review:
The Mission revival-style Santa Fe Depot, which replaced the original 1887 station on this site when it opened in 1915 for the Panama-California International Exposition, serves Amtrak and Coaster passengers. A booth here has bus schedules, maps, and tourist brochures. Formerly an easily spotted area landmark, the graceful, tile-dome depot is now overshadowed by 1 America Plaza, the 34-story office tower across the street. At the base of this skyscraper, designed by architect Helmut Jahn, is a center linking the city's train, trolley, and bus systems. The building's signature crescent-shaped, glass-and-steel canopy arches out over the trolley tracks. The Greyhound bus station (120 West Broadway) is a few blocks away.
