How is the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau different from the visitor center?

The Independence Visitor Center is the place where visitors start their trip once they arrive in Philadelphia at 6th & Market streets.

At the Philadelphia Convention & Visitors Bureau, we assist before you arrive - connecting you with our 1,000 member businesses through our many useful publications and Web site. We have an award-winning team that helps companies and associations with planning meetings and conventions in the Philadelphia area. And we can assist groups of visitors before they arrive in Philadelphia in planning experiential itineraries. We also specialize in international tourism with our Web site available in more than ten languages.
