Getting Here & Around

A City in the Center of It All

Philadelphia sits in the heart of the Northeast Corridor. 40% of the country’s population lives within a day’s drive of Philadelphia. By train or car, Philadelphia is less than two hours from New York City and less than three hours from Washington, D.C.

With 29 airlines and more than 1,500 flights arriving and departing daily at Philadelphia International Airport (view the Airport Terminal Map), getting here is a breeze. The short 8-mile trek into Center City from the airport takes 20 Minutes on the Regional Rail Line. Flat-rate fare cabs and busses also make travel to and from the airport a quick and easy hop.

Whether by plane, train or car, chances are Philadelphia is closer than you think.
