Flight

Philadelphia Int'l Airport (PHL)

The Philadelphia Airport is an easy ~20min drive to Center City. To get to/from the airport, we recommend you take a Taxi, Uber or Lyft (~$15-$40). If Uber or Lyft are surging in price, we recommend taking a Taxi since they typically have a flat $25-$30 airport rate. You can also take the SEPTA train for $6.75, which takes you directly to/from the airport terminal & Center City stops. (The Suburban Station train stop has underground access to City Hall, which is close by the Ritz, W & Notary Hotels.) Please note: If you plan to take an Uber, Lyft or Taxi from the airport, proceed through Baggage Claim & follow the Ground Transportation signs for Ride App/Zone 7 (i.e. the exit doors on the opposite side of the regular passenger pick-up). There you'll find a Ride App section & a separate Taxi stand.

Travel Note

For those who plan to drive to Philadelphia, valet parking is available at each of the hotels listed above for ~$50-$60/night.

Travel Note

Getting Around Philadelphia

On Wedding Day: To get to the church ceremony from the hotels, we suggest taking Uber/Lyft or ask your hotel concierge to order you a taxi. After the ceremony, we will provide transportation from the church to the reception. See the FAQs for more details. (Note: The hotels, church & reception are all within a 1 mile radius or less.) For those who plan to explore the city: Bring your walking shoes! Philadelphia is an extremely walkable city. If you'd prefer to catch a ride, we suggest Uber, Lyft or SEPTA public transportation. (You can find subway, bus and train maps/schedules in Google Maps or on the SEPTA website or app.) There are also Indego Bikes on most streets for rent.
