Make the Most of Your Chester Stay

Cultural heritage and modern waterfront

Chester holds the distinction of being Pennsylvania's oldest city, where William Penn first stepped ashore in 1682. The 1724 Chester Courthouse stands as the oldest public building in continuous use in the United States, offering a tangible connection to colonial governance. While the city faces economic challenges that have shaped its current landscape, the waterfront has emerged as a focal point for visitors, anchored by Subaru Park, the 18,500-seat home of the Philadelphia Union MLS team, and Harrah's Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack.

Strategic location between major cities

Chester's position just 7 miles from Philadelphia International Airport makes it remarkably accessible for travelers heading to the greater Philadelphia region. The SEPTA Regional Rail connects you directly to Center City Philadelphia in minutes, while Wilmington, Delaware sits immediately to the south. This strategic placement between major metropolitan areas allows you to experience the Brandywine Valley's renowned Longwood Gardens or Philadelphia's historic sites as easy day trips.

Practical considerations for visitors

The Widener University campus provides a stable anchor with its own cultural programming and nearby accommodations. Most visitors focus their time on the waterfront district during Union matches or casino visits, where you'll find the city's primary dining and entertainment options concentrated in one area.
