DIRECTIONS:

The University of Pennsylvania campus is located in an area of West Philadelphia known as University City. See below for a map of the area.

From the Philadelphia International Airport:

SEPTA Airport Express Train

The Airport Express Train (R1 line) leaves 4 minutes after every half hour from the 30th Street Station. The fare is $5.50 and the ride takes about 20 minutes. Fares and schedules are available at http://www.septa.com

The train also makes a stop at the University City Station on Penn’s campus.

Cars, Taxis and Limousines at the Airport

A metered taxicab costs about $25-$30 including tip and the ride takes about 20 minutes. The Inn at Penn and the Sheraton also offer airport shuttle service, inquire at the front desk.

Amtrak or SEPTA trains

30th Street Station: all Amtrak Northeast Corridor trains & SEPTA Regional trains stop here. * From campus you can walk to the station in about 15 minutes. * A metered cab costs about $5 including tip and the ride takes about 5 minutes. * The No. 30 bus also runs from the station to campus.

PARKING:

Limited street parking is available along Spruce Street and the other streets surrounding campus. These spots are all metered parking and the time limits are strictly enforced. Since the fair runs for several hours, we suggest parking in a lot instead of having to run out to feed your meter.

The nearest parking garage, Lot #8, is located across the street from Houston Hall near the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The next nearest public garage is Lot #30, at the corner of 38th & Walnut Streets.

Please consult this webpage for up to date information about which of Penn’s public parking lots will be open: http://cms.business-services.upenn.edu/parking/lot- locations-and-daily-rates.html
