The Neighborhood

Safe. Pleasant. Walkable. Thriving.

The Pennsylvania Convention Center places your meeting in the middle of the action with its prime-time location in the heart of Philadelphia 's booming and bustling downtown. As the centerpiece of Center City, the convention center is within walking distance of the Avenue of the Arts, a vibrant cultural arts strip filled with theaters, concert halls, jazz clubs and restaurants; Rittenhouse Row, a prestigious and upscale shopping and dining district and Old City, a unique and historic section of the city with charming shops, intriguing nightlife, delightful restaurants and a stunning array of colorful art galleries.

But if you'd rather remain within the immediate surroundings of the building, you can do so without sacrificing a fulfilling experience of culture, art, history and culinary pleasures. That's because our convention center is located within a hop, skip and a jump away from an abundance of leisure opportunities for attendees to take advantage of whether arriving early, staying late or breaking between sessions. Step out of your meeting, convention or tradeshow and find yourself just steps away from more than 10,000 hotel rooms and a myriad of dining, shopping, entertainment, cultural and historical attractions.
