Travel and Hotel Princeton University is located in Princeton Borough, Mercer County, New Jersey, approximately 50 miles southwest of New York City, 35 miles southwest of Newark, New Jersey, and 45 miles northeast of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The most convenient airports to Princeton are John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York or Newark International Airport in Newark. Those arriving at Philadelphia International Airport in Philadelphia should check with their travel agent to determine if they can be booked onto a shuttle flight from Philadelphia to Newark. Airport bus shuttles are very expensive from Philadelphia Airport. Public transportation from Philadelphia is very time-consuming. You may consider renting a car and carpooling as an option. You can find car rental information from a travel agent or by going on to the airport websites. The ideal method is to travel from Newark Liberty Airport to Nassau Inn. We suggest that you then fly out of the Philadelphia International Airport to return home.
