One Weekend in Philadelphia: A 3-day Philly Itinerary

How should you get around Philly? 

Start your weekend in Philadelphia by flying into Philadelphia International Airport. The airport is approximately 15 minutes away by car to the center of the city.

You can easily catch a taxi or Uber. You can also use public transportation from the airport by way of Septa’s train system. Septa has an airport line that can connect you to four stops around Center City. Be sure to look at the stops and see how far your lodging is. 

It is not necessary to have a rental car in Philadelphia as the city is very walkable and not all that large. If your feet need a break after a while, I recommend getting an Uber as it is affordable and reliable in the city. There is also the PATCO line that runs along Market Street between 8th and 16th Street that can take you across the city.

Having a car could even be inconvenient since street parking is limited and the rules are strict. Hotels will typically charge for parking which can be very costly.
