Lecco railway station is situated in Piazza Lega Lombarda, at the northeastern edge of the town centre.

The main one (where there are guest services for travellers and the local station master) is on two floors, while the other two sections are single storey.

The renovations altered the configuration of the spaces within the passenger building, by creating a new central area (lobby) and side aisles.

The renovation work also involved the installation of a new lighting system and other new technology equipment, the removal of architectural barriers such as the elimination of steps and the extension of the ramps, the upgrading of public conveniences and the renovation of the exterior facade of the building with new plaster and a new lighting system that enhances its appearance at night.

A total of about 154 trains call at the station daily, and their main destinations are Monza, Sondrio, Tirano and Milan.
