Planning to attend the World Cup or visit other sites in the United States? 

​

Philadelphia is a great option!

​

Fly into the Philadelphia International Airport and stay in the city of Philadelphia (only a 20 min drive from the airport). Philadelphia is a city recognized as a “must-visit” destination for 2026 by Travel + Leisure, CNN, BBC and more! 

 

Situated along the Delaware River and known as the Mural Capital of the World, Philadelphia offers a wide variety of unique activities along with convenient access to both NY and Washington DC, enabling you to enjoy three cities instead of just one. The Amtrak train that runs from Philadelphia’s William H Gray III 30th Street Station to NY’s Penn Station takes just 1 hour 27 minutes (no transfers needed) and the train to Washington, DC’s Union Station takes about 1 hour 35 minutes (no transfers needed). Along the way, you can enjoy scenic countryside views and glimpses of charming American towns.

 

Philadelphia, itself, is rich in history and culture. As the birthplace of American Democracy, it is home to landmarks such as the Museum of the American Revolution, the Liberty Bell and the National Constitution Center. The city also boasts a vibrant performing arts scene, including the renowned Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Miller Theatre and the Forrest Theater, which hosts traveling Broadway productions. Art and science enthusiasts can explore the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art and The Franklin Institute while children enjoy the Please Touch Museum. 

 

Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park is widely recognized as one of the largest urban park systems in the United States and the world, featuring trails for hiking, biking, running and horseback riding. Highlights include Boathouse Row and the Philadelphia Zoo—America’s first zoo, home to more than 1,900 rare and endangered animals. 

 

Philadelphia also offers a vibrant nightlife with diverse restaurants, bars, dance clubs and gaming at both the River’s Casino and Live! Casino. Premium shopping is available throughout the city, especially on Walnut Street, Market Street, Chestnut Street and 13th Streets. South Street is known for it's eclectic vibe and vintage shops while Jeweler's row, situated near Washington Square West, is the nation's oldest diamond district. 

 

Accommodations in Philadelphia are generally more affordable than in New York or Washington, DC. For the price of a standard hotel room elsewhere, travelers can stay at 321 South Fawn Street—a centrally-located stylish row house offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen with marble countertops, a private garden, washer and dryer and a Juliet balcony off of the master bedroom. Nestled by shady gingko trees, 321 S. Fawn Street is just steps away from the stop for the subway that goes to all of the sports arenas, the Kimmel Theatre and some of the city’s best restaurants and shops. Three parks, Reading Terminal Market and some of the city’s top attractions are all within a 15-minute walk of the property.
