Serving international and domestic airlines, PHL is the 20th busiest airport in the nation. It is large enough to allow its many passengers and employees adequate space but compact enough for convenient access to its many terminals. 

30th Street Station

You can’t mention the Philadelphia area’s rich transportation system without mentioning the historic 30th Street Station. 30th Street Station was completed in 1933 after it was commissioned by the Pennsylvania Railroad. After the earlier Broad Street Station had failed to support the blossoming Philadelphia population, 30th Street Station became Philadelphia’s official train hub. 30th Street Station has trains running all across the country.
