Flying from Jacksonville, Florida, to Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) will land you next to the Delaware River, near the Pennsylvania/New Jersey state line. Most Philadelphia attractions are within a 30-minute drive from the airport, and there are entertainment options that cater for every season of the year.

During warm weather, go for a hike along the beautiful Schuylkill River Trail, or visit the Liberty Bell at the Independence National Historical Park. During the winter, head to Dilworth Park to stretch your legs on the outdoor Rothman Ice Rink. Regardless of the season, spend at least one night out exploring the Philadelphia streets.

You can catch I-95 from PHL to reach any destination in Philadelphia or beyond. Go north if you want to reach the heart of the city, or bypass the city completely and enjoy the rolling hills of Bucks County in the countryside. Head to the Old City if you want to enjoy a delicious dinner and go dancing. If jazz is more your speed, Northern Liberties is the neighborhood for you.
