Philadelphia is a historic major city in Pennsylvania, in the northeastern United States between New York and Washington. It is the birthplace of American independence, with a rich colonial heart, world-class museums, and a passionate food and sports culture. Walk the very streets where a nation was founded, then chase it with a cheesesteak - what a place to explore!
When to go
Spring and autumn offer mild, pleasant weather and colourful scenery. Summers are hot and humid, while winters are cold, so the shoulder seasons are ideal.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
Philadelphia (PHL) is often a short connection from eastern Canada, through Toronto, Montreal or a US hub such as Newark or Chicago, and is sometimes nonstop from the larger Canadian cities. If you route through the United States you will clear US customs at your first American stop. Layovers are usually short since the whole trip stays within the northeast.
What to see and do
- Seeing the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall
- Running the Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
- Exploring the Reading Terminal Market
- Tasting an authentic Philly cheesesteak
- The Barnes Foundation collection
Good to know before you go
The currency is the US dollar and English is spoken. The historic core is very walkable, and you rarely need a car downtown: SEPTA runs a subway, buses, trolleys, and regional rail, while Uber and Lyft cover late nights; parking is pricey and traffic tightens at rush hour. Standard city awareness is wise at night.
Entry requirements and health
No visa needed
Good news: with a Canadian passport you can just show up for a short tourist stay, no visa needed. Keep an eye on how long you're allowed to stay so your trip fits.
General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
