Itinerary

  1. Take a moment to visit L.A. Union Station. On your way to Olvera Street, enjoy the historic charm of this much-photographed railroad station!

  2. Cross Alameda Street and take a moment to spend time at El Pueblo de Los Angeles Historical Monument. The park and monument mark the beginning of Olvera Street.

  3. Stroll Olvera Street and enjoy the shops, painted stalls, cafes, and festive carts at this thriving Mexican marketplace. Created in 1930, many of the merchants are descended from the original vendors.

  4. Get a delicious (and famous) French diipped sandwich at  Phillppe’s just a couple of blocks north on Alameda from Olvera Street at Ord Street. Show your Metrolink ticket and save!

  5. For the train ride home, stop at Barista Society for some coffee and something sweet like their strawberry Nutella cronut.  And there's a Starbucks just inside the main entrance.
