City slickers looking for nightlife, shopping, and entertainment will most enjoy staying in Downtown Wilmington. Home to many corporate offices, the district is fast-paced and exciting. Walk to nearby cultural attractions by day and discover the city’s best bars by night.
For a more relaxed, slower pace in the city, stay along Riverwalk, Wilmington’s 3.5-kilometre-long riverfront. With shops, museums, art galleries, and cafes, Riverwalk is considered the more touristic side of the city which is perfect for first-time visitors and keen culture-seekers.
Since Wilmington is just 45 minutes by train from Philadelphia, why not stay in the Pennsylvanian capital instead? As one of the biggest US cities, there is something for everyone in Philadelphia. Discover its exciting sports to its culture, cuisine, entertainment, and nightlife.
Families might prefer to avoid the big cities altogether and opt for a quiet stay by the beach instead. The refined Rehoboth and relaxed Dewey Beach are two fun family-friendly beach towns just a short drive from central Wilmington. Here, you can play games and picnic on the beach, enjoy the amusements, and so much more.
