Visiting Washington DC’s beautiful Union Station is an experience you should not miss while you are in the city. Union Station is much more than a travel hub and when you are not admiring the outstanding architecture of the building you can enjoy some retail therapy at a wide variety of shops and eateries. Prepare for your trip by picking up some delightful beauty products at L’Occitane, Khiels or The Body Shop. If you still have some time you can tantalize your taste-buds at one of the many restaurants and fast-food outlets before visiting Tumi to buy a stylish extra bag for all your purchases.

Union Station, 50 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, DC 20002
