Business Travel to Philadelphia: The Complete Guide
Everything a business traveler needs for Philadelphia — getting around, where to stay, the companies you'd visit, and the conferences that land here.
Getting around Philadelphia
PHL has a clean rail link: SEPTA’s Airport Line runs from every terminal to Center City in about 25 minutes. For downtown it is the obvious move. The suburban corporate belt — King of Prussia, the Main Line towns like Radnor and Malvern, Conshohocken — is largely car country, on SEPTA regional rail only near a station, otherwise a rideshare or rental.
Where to stay in Philadelphia
