Where can I store luggage in Philadelphia?

Philadelphia is where America began. The Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the Old City streets where the Founding Fathers walked. It's also a city of cheesesteaks, the Rocky Steps at the Art Museum, and Reading Terminal Market with its legendary food stalls. South Philly has the Italian Market. Rittenhouse Square is the leafy heart of Center City. The city packs history, food and neighbourhood character into a walkable grid.

Whether you're stepping off Amtrak at 30th Street Station, catching an Eagles game at Lincoln Financial Field, or exploring the cobblestones of Old City, you'll be on your feet a lot. Philly is built for walking. Dragging luggage through Reading Terminal or up the Rocky Steps is no fun.

BagsAway has luggage storage locations across Philadelphia inside vetted local businesses. Book online, drop your bags, go explore. Takes about 30 seconds and every bag is insured up to $1,200.

BagsAway: Luggage Storage Across Philadelphia

BagsAway works like Airbnb but for your bags. We partner with local shops, cafes, hotels and businesses that have safe space to store your stuff. Each location is vetted, your bags get sealed and tagged, and everything is insured up to $1,200. No lockers, no coins, no hassle.

Come for the history, stay for the food and sports. Philly draws visitors for the museums, the cheesesteaks, and Eagles, Phillies and 76ers games. A lot of those people end up with bags at the wrong time. You check out of your hotel, the game isn't until 7pm, and suddenly you're that person with a rolling suitcase in Reading Terminal. We fix that.

Where to find luggage storage in Philadelphia

Our BagDrop network covers the areas visitors spend the most time in. Here's a rundown:

Old City and Independence Mall

Old City is where Philadelphia's history lives. Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Congress Hall and Elfreth's Alley are all within a few blocks. The cobblestone streets and brick buildings make it one of the most walkable historic districts in America. Crowds get thick, especially in summer. Leave your bags at a BagDrop and soak up the history hands-free.

Center City and Rittenhouse Square

Center City is Philly's downtown. Rittenhouse Square is the green centre, surrounded by cafes, restaurants and high-rises. Walnut and Chestnut Streets are packed with shops. Reading Terminal Market is right there, under the convention centre. If you're spending the day here, you don't need bags slowing you down. We have BagDrop spots in the area so you can move around freely.

South Philly and the Italian Market

South Philly has the Italian Market, a stretch of 9th Street lined with butchers, cheese shops, produce stands and cafes. It's one of the oldest outdoor markets in America and it's made for grazing. The sidewalks are narrow and the stalls are crowded. Not ideal for luggage. Drop your bags at a BagDrop first.

University City

University City is across the Schuylkill River, home to Penn and Drexel. The campuses, restaurants and shops draw students and visitors alike. If you're in the area for a campus tour or a meal, a BagDrop lets you explore without hauling your stuff.

Fishtown

Fishtown has become one of Philly's trendiest neighbourhoods. Frankford Avenue is loaded with breweries, restaurants, galleries and vintage shops. It's the kind of place you wander through. Much easier without bags.

30th Street Station area

30th Street Station is Philly's main Amtrak hub and one of the country's grandest train stations. If you're arriving or departing by train and have time to kill, the area around the station has restaurants and shops. A BagDrop nearby lets you drop your bags and explore before your train.

Other luggage storage options in Philadelphia

Here's a look at what else is out there so you can pick what works for your trip.

Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)

PHL doesn't have a dedicated public luggage storage service inside the terminals. If you've got a long layover and want to head into the city, your best move is to use a BagsAway BagDrop. The airport is about 20 minutes from Center City by car or the SEPTA Regional Rail Airport Line.

30th Street Station (Amtrak)

Amtrak's 30th Street Station is a beautiful building but there are no luggage lockers or storage services available. If you're arriving by train and want to spend the day exploring before heading out, BagsAway has BagDrop locations within walking distance or a short ride away.

Hotel storage

Most Center City hotels will hold bags for current guests before check-in or after check-out. A handful might do it for non-guests but don't bank on it. The issue is you have to go back to that specific hotel to get your bags, which might be out of the way depending on where your day takes you.

Convention Center

The Pennsylvania Convention Center occasionally has bag check during large events, but it's not a year-round service and availability depends on the event organizer. If you need something reliable outside of event hours, BagsAway is the better bet.
