Airport Search Airport Quick Search Help
The Airport Search allows you to search our entire database of over 30,000 airports using only an IATA ID, ICAO ID, FAA ID, Airport Name, City, State, or Country.

Partial entry is also allowed in searches if, for example, you only know part of a city name.

For example, a search in the City field for Los would return records with Los Alamos as well as Los Angeles.
A wildcard character, %, may also be used. A search for %gel% would also turn up Los Angeles as a result but may also turn up any name or ID also containing gel in it.

Feel free to experiment with different searches.

    Philadelphia PA - Overview America's first capital city, Philadelphia is rich in American history and culture. From Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 proclaiming American independence, to Penn's Landing, named after the influential and charismatic governor William Penn, Philadelphia has much to teach visitors about the early years of America. At the same time, Philadelphia is a bustling city with modern attractions and entertainment.

    Philadelphia's historical roots are very deep. As the seat of American government during the first crucial decades of American independence, Philadelphia was America's greatest city. The city's pride was manifested in the City Hall, which is the largest and most ornate municipal hall in the country. Philadelphia was the site of the meetings of the Continental and then the US Congress until 1800. But Philadelphia's history is even older than that of the United States itself. As a British Colony founded by William Penn and the Quakers, Pennsylvania attracted many different religious denominations to its tolerant atmosphere. Many of those faiths have built beautiful churches throughout the city in celebration of the religious freedom they found in Philadelphia.

    Philadelphia was and remains to this day a cultural center. Benjamin Franklin himself helped found many of the educational and cultural offerings of the city. Numerous universities and museums can be found here in the City of Brotherly Love. The Philadelphia Art Museum is the third largest in the country with over 300,000 different items. Other museums celebrate the Philadelphia's place in American history. Philadelphia also boasts numerous entertainment centers, such as Penn's Landing where a wonderful collection of historical ships provides the background for numerous restaurants and entertainment venues.

    Philadelphia's careful city planning made it an ideal choice for housing the US government, and it has produced many treasures that are still enjoyed by visitors and residents. Fairmont Park, for example, is the largest landscaped municipal park in the world. It houses numerous attractions, as well as walking trails and recreation areas.

    Philadelphia has enjoyed a special place in American history, and visitors come to the city to learn about that history as they learn about this beautiful city and all it offers.

    Local Seasons:

     

    The City of Philadelphia offers a variety of seasons for its visitors.  As both a business city as well as a historic leisure destination, it welcomes visitors throughout the year.  Summers tend to be busier as people from around the world come to see many of the historic attractions in and around the city.  With daytime temperatures in the mid 80’s F and the nights cooling to the mid 60’s, it’s an ideal time to explore the host of sites and outdoor attractions available.  Spring and fall tend to be quite beautiful as nature changes the seasons with a plethora of seasonal colors.  The temperatures are brisk, but perfect for a leisurely stroll through one of the many parks or sipping a warm drink at one of the many cafes and restaurants available.  Winters can be chilly and snow is likely at any given time.  When the snow does fall, it transforms the city into a Norman Rockwell-like picture, making it just right for sitting by a cozy fire.  Whether for business or pleasure, this city of “Brotherly Love” has a season for everyone.
