From history to shopping to dining, in the heart of it all!
The Willings is in a perfect location that is truly unique in its convenience. Not only are the premiere historical attractions (including Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the National Constitution Center) within easy walking distance, The Willings is also a 5-minute walk from some of the finest restaurants in all of the city.
You'll also enjoy nearby organic food markets, film & live theatre, and bountiful shopping. You're even a stone's throw away from the hip and vibrant Penn's Landing!
The Willings also boasts quick access to both major routes I-76, I-676 and I-95, putting the 30th Street Amtrak Station and Philadelphia International airport within easy reach. For a quick getaway, the Pocono Mountains and New Jersey shore are each only about an hour away.
