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
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.
