Getting Here
Exercise your freedom of choice. Philadelphia’s convenient location makes it easy for you to decide how you’ll arrive—by car, train, plane or bus.

Grab the car keys and head to I-95, I-76 or the Pennsylvania or New Jersey Turnpikes. The city is less than two hours from New York City, less than three hours from Washington, DC and within an easy five-hour drive of more than 25 percent of the U.S. population.

If you don’t feel like driving, just sit back and enjoy the ride. The Philadelphia-bound traveler has plenty of transportation options. Train – hop aboard Amtrak which operates from Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station with service along the Northeast corridor; Bus – let the drivers from Greyhound bring you to their Center City terminal; Plane – book one of hundreds of daily domestic and international flights into Philadelphia International Airport. The airport is served by most major carriers, including several discount carriers offering low-cost, convenient options.

A flat-fee cab ride from the airport to Center City is a short 15-minute trip. Or, take the high-speed SEPTA train departing the airport every 30 minutes.
