TRAVEL TO THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
By air:
Flights should be scheduled to Philadelphia International Airport (Code:
PHL), which is served by all major airlines. Please visit www.phl.org/index.html
for additional details about the airport. The
Philadelphia International Airport is located in the Southwest section
of the city, approximately twenty minutes from the University of Pennsylvania
campus.
Visitors driving from the airport should take
I-95 North to the I-676/Center City Philadelphia exit, which is approximately
seven miles North of the airport. Follow I-676 West (the Vine Street
Expressway) until I-76 East (the Schuylkill Expressway). Follow I-76
East until Exit 346-A (old exit number 40) -- South Street (a left-lane

Convenient train service from the airport to
30th Street Station is available through SEPTA's Airport Express Train
which leaves every half-hour. The fare is $5.00 (subject to change),
and the trip takes approximately twenty-five minutes. The University
City Station is about a five minute walk west on Spruce Street to our
campus. The 30th Street Station is about a fifteen-minute walk or $5
cab ride to campus. A metered cab ride
from the airport to campus generally costs $20, including the tip, and
takes approximately 20 minutes.

Philadelphia is easily accessible by train
from most Northeastern cities arriving to 30th Street Station via Amtrak
(Code: PHL). Please visit www.amtrak.com
