Ah, Maryland. Land of crabs, Old Bay seasoning, and...uh...being really close to Philadelphia, apparently? That's right, folks, we're diving headfirst (or should we say, crabby claw first?) into the burning question: just how far apart are these two East Coast gems?
How Far Is Maryland To Philadelphia |
Spoiler Alert: It's Not Exactly Rocket Science
Fear not, intrepid travelers! The distance between Maryland and Philadelphia is a manageable one. We're talking less than 100 miles by car (depending on where in Maryland you're starting from). That's a breeze compared to some of those epic road trips you see in movies (looking at you, Cannonball Run).
In fact, you could probably yeet a particularly enthusiastic Maryland blue crab across the state line and it might just make it. Don't try this at home, folks, but it gives you a general idea.
But Wait, There's More! (Because We Like Options)
Here's the thing: Maryland is a state, Philadelphia is a city. That's like asking how far it is from "Cutlery Drawer" to "Spatula." It depends on where in Maryland you're springing from!
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
Here's a handy dandy breakdown:
- Baltimore to Philly: This is your classic East Coast hustle. Buckle up for a breezy 90-ish mile drive, or snag a comfy seat on the train and be there in under 2 hours.
- Ocean City to Philly: Craving some beach time before your city break? No problem! Ocean City adds a bit more distance, clocking in at around 170 miles.
The important takeaway? No matter where you are in Maryland, cheesesteaks and Liberty Bell selfies are well within reach.
