Very nice architecture, but nowhere to get food in the station aside from a snack stand. For a city like San Diego, I think the station needs more eateries inside. Thankfully, the station in nestled downtown, so you’ll have no trouble finding a restaurant. There is also a very easy connection to the trolley which is great!

Absolutely love ❤️ San Diego. Not easy on the wallet but if you plan ahead you can easily find some ways to make your visit enjoyable. For example pack up a picnic lunch and spend time at the beach. Just relax and enjoy life. rg-

The San Diego Santa Fe Depot is a historic building constructed in the Spanish Revival architectural style in 1919. It features a high vaulted ceiling and the inside would be nice for photos. I've passed through this station for the MTA, the commuter rail, and Amtrak on several occasions without issue.

Everything at this station was fine, as far as Amtrak stations go. They offer bag holding services for $10 per bag (with a valid same-day Amtrak ticket) which was nice, just be sure to arrive a bit early to pick up your bag before the train, as the lines here can move slow. Departures section was okay, but arrive 20 mins before your train departs to line up (unless you’re riding solo or don’t care where you end up sitting).

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

There is no good answer for that. The depot itself has no parking. The surrounding area has office building lots that or may not fit. There used to be a few parking lots but those have been built on.

By SAN I assume you mean downtown San Diego. Just hop on either the Orange or Blue line trolleys and they'll take you right downtown. For the GasLamp, your best bet'd be to get off at 5th & C and walk South on 5th for about 2 short blocks and you're soaking in it. HTH!

Ashley Krieger | Aug 21, 2019
Devin MacAndrew | Aug 21, 2019

The airport's pretty close to Santa Fe Depot, actually, and your hands are pretty full with 3 kids & all their accoutrements so I'd recommend an Über as the busses & trolleys don't really allow you a whole lotta time at ALL for loading & emarking or disembarking and they can get pretty crowded, not to mention the less than savory clientele aboard.

Yes, but you would have to switch trains in LA. The Pacific Surfliner makes several daily trips north to LA, then the Coast Starlight can take you to Seattle. It's also quite a long trip at about 1 day 12 hrs.
