Amtrak, the largest passenger railroad service in the U.S., operates the train from Baltimore to Philadelphia. The good news is that most of the connections between Baltimore and Philadelphia are direct. There are several options, but it comes down to whether you need to get there fast with the speed train Acela, take your time with a slightly slower but cheaper line like the Northeast Regional, or one of the long-distance trains passing through the two cities.

  1. The Acela Express is a high-speed train between Boston, MA, and Washington, D.C. It is the fastest train in the Northeast Corridor, reaching 150 miles per hour, stopping at Wilmington before arriving in Philadelphia. Acela tickets are pricier due to their incredible speeds and comfort. Extra legroom, free Wi-Fi, and a power outlet under each seat are some of the perks you can expect on Amtrak Acela Express.
  2. Northeast Regional is the most popular train due to its price and frequency. It runs around 15 times a day, unlike other lines, such as Carolinian, Crescent, Vermonter, Silver Service, and Palmetto, which run only once daily. The Northeast Regional is slower, but it makes more stops along the way, making it a more convenient option for passengers who need to make connections. 

The ticket prices may vary depending on how early you book, so securing them at your earliest convenience is recommended. 

Children 2-12 travel at a lower fare on all Amtrak trains, but the Acela Express only offers discounts for children on weekends. But the good news is that children under two always travel free on Amtrak trains between Baltimore, PA, and Philadelphia, MD.

In Baltimore, you will be boarding at Baltimore Penn Station. One of the oldest and most beautiful stations in the Country. It offers a good choice of activities and is near Baltimore tourist attractions. Located only half a mile from downtown and the inner harbor, the station is also a stroll away from the vibrant Charles North neighborhood. Besides its stunning architecture, the area is home to multiple art and entertainment venues. Visit the American Visionary Art Museum to explore beautiful and inspiring artwork from unconventional artists. Catch a show at the Everyman Theatre, a cozy venue featuring Broadway plays and concerts. 

In Philadelphia, you can exit the train at two stations:

  1. 30th Street Station, officially William H. Gray III, initially built in the 1930s, has since become a hub for transportation with access to Amtrak, SEPTA, and other forms of public transit. The beautiful station building is located in the University city, filled with restaurants and cafes, providing plenty of things to do and see. The famous Liberty bell is also easily reachable; if history is not your thing, you can always stroll down the Delaware river.
  2. Another option is the North Philadelphia station. It is located on Broad Street and close to tourist attractions such as the African American Museum of Philadelphia and the Rodin Museum. However, the station also has a reputation for being unsafe. It may be better to exit on the 30th Street Station, which is constantly monitored and protected by the police and Amtrak security.
