The Festival Of Families

When planning your trip to Philadelphia, all guests are strongly

encouraged to utilize public transportation. It is strongly
recommended that guests do NOT drive by private vehicles as
parking will be extremely limited.
A large portion of center city Philadelphia, including major roads
and bridges, will be closed to privately owned vehicles. For
traffic and road / bridge closure information, please visit:
- City of Philadelphia Papal Information Center:
http://www.phila.gov/informationcenters/pope
- PA Department of Transportation (PennDOT), 511:
http://www.511pa.com
Public transportation routes and schedules will be vastly altered
for efficiency and capacity. Contact your public transportation
provider for more information. Please visit:
- Amtrak: http://www.amtrak.com/papalvisit
- SEPTA: http://www.septa.org/papalvisitphilly
- PATCO: http://www.ridepatco.org/PapalVisit
- NJ Transit: http://www.njtransit.com
The following bridges have been designated for pedestrian use
(private vehicles prohibited):
- Ben Franklin Bridge (Delaware River)
- Chestnut St. Bridge (Schuylkill River)
- Walnut St. Bridge (Schuylkill River)
Be prepared to walk up to 3-4 miles to your destination after
leaving your transit mode.
Be prepared to stand for long durations.
Anticipate long wait times at security screening locations.
Regardless of how you will travel to Philadelphia, anticipate
that your return trip out of the city will take a long time and plan
accordingly.
Dress appropriately for the weather.
General public entry will be based on a first-come, first-serve
basis. Due to limited space, a portion of the guests traveling to
Philadelphia may not be able to enter the secure areas shown on
this map.
Possession of a ticket does not guarantee entry into a ticketed
event.
Due to natural and manmade obstructions, Papal viewing areas
will be limited. Consider watching Papal events at one of the
public viewing screens located throughout the city.
WMOF Volunteers and Pennsylvania National Guardsman
will be stationed throughout center city Philadelphia to answer
questions and assist guests with gaining access to Papal venues.
Individuals seeking assistance with locating a lost or separated
companion are directed to contact a reunification official at one
of the Medical Aid Stations annotated on this map. Guests
must be prepared to provide a detailed description of the
individual that they are attempting to locate. Prior to attending a
Papal event, it is suggested that guests use their mobile device to
take a photograph of their traveling companions in order to aid
reunification efforts.
