So as you begin to navigate all your upcoming travel plans (here’s looking at you, holidays and winter breaks), here’s a guide to help you get the most out of the iconic station.

Amtrak is on a multi-billion-dollar mission to make the station more pedestrian-friendly and ease traffic congestion around it. It’s a big place, though, and navigating it can be a bit tricky once you’re able to look past the building’s grandeur. Either way, happening upon the station’s grand concourse, with its five-story-high windows and Art Deco chandeliers, is a no doubt a highlight of many travelers’ experience.

Each year, more than 4 million passengers travel to and from the train station, making it Amtrak’s third busiest hub in the nation.Ĭhances are you are one of those million-plus passengers who has passed through here, whether it was on your way to New York’s Penn Station or to hop onto the SEPTA Regional Rail. Philly is home to one of the last remaining grand train stations in America, the monumental 30th Street Station.
