Find parking nearUnion Station

Union Station sits in the heart of Northeast Washington, DC, just a short walk from the U.S. Capitol, making it one of the city’s busiest transportation hubs and a constant crossroads for commuters, business travelers, and tourists. The surrounding streets near Columbus Circle, H Street NE, and into the NoMa neighborhood are lively and walkable, with landmarks like the historic Union Station terminal itself and the Smithsonian National Postal Museum drawing steady crowds throughout the day.

Traffic around the station is typically heavy, especially during weekday rush hours and peak travel times, and on-street spaces near major entrances fill quickly and are closely regulated with meters, time limits, and residential permit zones. Most visitors rely on structured garages and lots, including the large station garage and nearby commercial garages, which are usually the most reliable option for finding a space close to trains, tours, and nearby offices. Because demand is high and rules are strictly enforced, drivers should always review posted curbside signs and consult current, official sources for the latest regulations before they arrive, and booking parking in advance is highly recommended to reduce circling, avoid tickets, and make parking in Union Station a smoother part of their trip.
