By train: Amtrak serves Philadelphia through the 30th Street Station, which is a short walk from the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a bit further to the hotels. Taxis are available.

The Museum is at the top of the Parkway. Bear right toward Kelly Drive, and watch for a left turn for Museum parking, which is behind the building.
