Getting to Penn
Parking
As with any urban campus, parking is particularly difficult around Penn. We suggest that you park in the Penn Tower, Penn visitor parking near the Palestra on 33rd Street and another lot on the northwest corner of 34th and Chestnut. Unmetered parking is available between 40th and 44th and you should remain between Spruce and Walnut if possible.
