VISITORS GUIDE

GREETINGS FROM PHL
First up: a few things you need to know about our airport.
We’re convenient. Once you’re here, you’re in Philadelphia. We’re only seven miles (11 km) from Center City Philadelphia and 20 minutes by train. And it’s a quick drive to almost anywhere: a world- renowned museum, a corporate HQ, a craft-beer brewpub, and yes, the mountains and the ocean.
We’re big. We welcome 30 million passengers a year via 130+ non-stop destinations worldwide.
We’re fun. Travel is exciting. So is traveling when you can enjoy 180 local and national retail shops, restaurants and eateries. All surrounded by a collection of Philadelphia’s best art exhibits and entertainers.
We’re now. Two-thousand power outlets and USB ports mean more movie watching. Plus, free WiFi keeps you connected at 1,000+ iPad stations, even at your gate.
FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT PHL.ORG
Philadelphians love oil paintings, famous declarations,
al fresco dining and opera. We also like to think there’s
no greater delicacy than meat and melted cheese on a
roll. Call it a little something for everyone.
So if you’re planning a trip to the States, here’s the deal:
Philadelphia isn’t New York (more manageable, less sticker shock)
or Washington, DC (more fun, less politics). We are what we are. And
what we are is an American city that’s unapologetically candid about
everything from street art and historical artifacts to the best way to
navigate the city (it’s called shoe leather). Where art is everywhere
you look—and everywhere else, too. Tons of culture. Salt-of-the-
earth people. Food like you read about. And tax-free shopping on
all shoes and clothing.
So come for a walkable, rideable, even carriage-able trip to our
nation’s birthplace right alongside a cityful of outspoken locals.
It’s a trip you’ll never forget.
You in?

That means you.
1. WE’VE GOT HISTORY.
The birthplace of America. The cradle of
liberty. The seed of a revolution. Yeah, we’ll
take any of those.
2. WE’VE GOT ART.
The old stuff. The new stuff. The weird stuff,
and the stuff made of bike wheels, beer
bottles and recyclables. That stuff.
3. WE’VE GOT EATS.
Sandwiches, stir-fry or foie gras. Philadelphia
is a buffet of flavor, from the finest of fine
dining to the comfiest of comfort food.
4. WE’VE GOT SHOPPING.
You’re going home with more than you
came with. Our ever-growing shopping
districts make us a tax-free haven for
clothing and shoes.
5. WE’VE GOT EVERYTHING ELSE.
Distinguished opera, quirky museums, miles
of greenery, never-ending nightlife and—of
course—steak, cheese and bread. (It’s way
better than it sounds.)
Whoever you are, there’s a Philadelphia for you.

GETTING HERE
Philadelphia is easy to get to by plane, train, bus or automobile, so no
matter where you are coming from, you won’t have a hard time finding us.
• Many travelers fly directly into Philadelphia International Airport (PHL),
conveniently located seven miles (11 km) away.
• SEPTA (Philadelphia’s public transit system) takes you from the airport
to Center City in 20 minutes by train, and SEPTA’s Airport Line leaves
in 30-minute intervals, with a one-way fare of approximately 8 USD. septa.org
• Rather take a taxi? It’s only a 20-minute ride to Center City, and costs
about 28.50 USD, plus gratuity.
• You can also take an Amtrak train, rent a car or shuttle from Newark
Liberty International Airport (EWR) or John F. Kennedy International
Airport (JFK)—both are two hours or less by car.
For more information on other ground transportation options, visit phl.org
GETTING AROUND
Not only are we perfectly situated on the East Coast, we are also one of
the world’s most walkable cities. In fact, there are hotels and restaurants
at every price point in the heart of Center City, plus a top-rated public
transit system and plenty of taxis to take you around.
Thanks to founder William Penn’s smart and simple grid street design, our
downtown is easy to navigate. The Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers border
Center City’s 25 blocks on the east and west. Keep in mind that streets
running east-west (south of Market Street) are named after trees, while
north-south streets are numbered.
