Philadelphia Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link

  • Take the subway from the airport. Taxis from the airport to the city cost around $26, but the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) runs the Airport Rail Line R1, which leaves the airport every 30 minutes from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. The trip to Center City takes about 20 minutes and costs $5.50.
  • Don't bother renting a car. Especially if you’re staying in or near Center City, parking is tough. Philly is an incredibly walkable city anyway.
  • Look for free entries for museums and attractions. Most of Philly’s tourist sites have free entry times and days—check with your hotel when you arrive. On the first Friday of every month in the Old City, there's free admission to galleries along with free music and food.

The City of Brotherly Love has come a long way from its unrefined cheese steak and Rocky Balboa image of yesteryear. It’s one of the most sophisticated cities on the East Coast, but it miraculously retains the air of a big, friendly neighborhood. It’s also one of the most historically fascinating and gay-welcoming cities in North America. Read More
