TRAVEL INFO.

Parking: - Readily available, rear entrance to NCC (north side, Race Street). $7 vouchers available. Also, overflow parking at nearby Independence Visitors Center (just south of NCC), with entrance ramps into basement on both east side (5th Street) and west side (6th Street). Also, some street parking on Arch & Race.

Train: - 30th Street Station is at 30th & Market, about 26 blocks from the Holiday Inn (400 Arch) and the NCC (525 Arch). You have 3 choices from the train station: i) subway to 4th Street); ii) bus (No. 9, $2.00) to 4th; and iii) taxi.

Plane: - If arriving by air, be sure to look for the Holiday Inn airport shuttle (and be sure to ask for the Holiday Inn-Independence Mall, not the Holiday Inn Express). There is also a cheap ($5.00) train from the airport to 30th Street, but the shuttle takes you right to the hotel (and one block from the NCC).
