Lo que la mayoría de las guías omiten: Filadelfia es la ciudad grande más caminable de la Costa Este de EE. UU. La cuadrícula de William Penn de 1682 compactó el núcleo histórico en un rectángulo ordenado de 25 manzanas, de modo que puedes estar frente al Liberty Bell a las 10 de la mañana y estar comiendo un sándwich de cerdo asado en el Reading Terminal Market a las 11. Con carrito de bebé. Eso es algo que Boston, Washington D.C. y Nueva York no pueden ofrecer — y para las familias, esa geografía llana lo es todo.

Los atractivos principales están más cerca de lo que la gente cree. El Independence Hall y el Liberty Bell están frente a frente en Old City — entradas gratuitas, dos horas. Diez manzanas al oeste por Benjamin Franklin Parkway está la hilera de museos que cambia la perspectiva de los niños: el Franklin Institute (un corazón gigante por el que puedes caminar, planetario, planta de física del deporte — un día entero), la Academia de Ciencias Naturales y el Museo de Arte de Filadelfia con los escalones del Rocky. El Please Touch Museum está diseñado específicamente para menores de 7 años, y el Zoológico de Filadelfia — el primero de América, inaugurado en 1874 — tiene Zoo360, un circuito elevado con malla metálica donde los grandes felinos caminan sobre tu cabeza.

En cuanto a dónde dormir: Center City / Rittenhouse Square es la respuesta para la mayoría de las familias — a 7 minutos caminando de los museos del Parkway, rodeado de restaurantes familiares. Logan Square te pone a la puerta del Franklin Institute. Old City es la apuesta histórica — te despiertas a dos manzanas del Liberty Bell. University City, al otro lado del río Schuylkill, ofrece el ambiente del campus Penn más acceso al zoológico.

La gastronomía es donde Filadelfia destaca. El debate del cheesesteak (los locales te mandan a John's Roast Pork o Angelo's, no a Pat's) es la puerta de entrada, pero el Reading Terminal Market — un mercado cubierto de estilo amish y de todo — es la magia: $15–25 por un almuerzo familiar. Una cena con asiento en Rittenhouse ronda los $30–60 por adulto. Las suites familiares aquí tienen un promedio de $200–350 por noche.

Datos prácticos: la mayoría de los viajeros necesitan un ESTA (~$21, en línea) o visa B1/B2 (los titulares de pasaporte tailandés incluidos). Desde el aeropuerto PHL hasta el Centro de la Ciudad es el traslado más sencillo de cualquier ciudad importante de EE. UU. — la línea Airport de SEPTA, cada 30 minutos, unos $7, 25 minutos hasta la Estación Jefferson. Seguridad: Center City, Rittenhouse, Old City, University City y el Parkway son seguros de día y de noche; evita North Philly y Kensington después de oscurecer. Las propinas son ineludibles: 18–20% en restaurantes. Mejor época: abril–junio y septiembre–octubre; julio–agosto es húmedo y pegajoso.

A continuación: 10 hoteles para familias en los que confiamos, todos con puntuación de 8,0/10 o más en Agoda, Booking y Tripadvisor — elegidos por suites caminables a museos o desayuno gratuito. Desde el Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square en el #1 (piscina en la azotea en verano, King Suites) pasando por los campeones de cocinas todo-suite Home2 Suites Convention Center y Homewood Suites University City, las opciones históricas Wyndham Historic District y Holiday Inn Express Penn's Landing, hasta el chic Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square en el #10. Distintos presupuestos, el mismo estándar: probado con niños, caminable y honesto.

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square — hotel No. 1 #1 family · middle of Center City 8

📍 Right in the middle of Center City near Rittenhouse Square — about a 5–7 minute walk to the park, and just a few minutes to the 19th St subway/trolley station (Market–Frankford Line / Trolley).

🏙️ Middle of Center City near Rittenhouse 🏊 Seasonal rooftop pool 🛋️ King Suite with sitting area + microwave
middle of Center Cityseasonal rooftop poolroomy family King Suitewalk to Rittenhouse Square

Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square is a 4-star hotel planted right in the middle of Center City, the most walkable corner of Philadelphia, about a 5–7 minute stroll from leafy Rittenhouse Square. The reason families pick it is the King Suite — much bigger than a standard room, with a separate sitting area, a dining table and a microwave, so parents and kids actually have room to spread out and reheat a meal. In summer (late May to early September) there's a rooftop pool with skyline views for the kids to cool off. From here you can walk to the museums lined up along Benjamin Franklin Parkway — the Franklin Institute and the art museum — shop Walnut Street, and hop the subway or trolley nearby to reach the rest of the city. Reviews praise the location, the cleanliness and the friendly staff. The trade-off: it's an older building and parts of it are starting to show their age. Overall 8.0/10.

  • Middle of Center City — walk to Rittenhouse Square plus the Parkway museums
  • Roomy King Suite with a sitting area, dining table and microwave for families
  • Rooftop pool with skyline views in summer plus friendly staff
  • Older building — parts of it and some rooms feel dated
  • Rooftop pool is summer-only and valet parking costs extra

Home2 Suites by Hilton Philadelphia - Convention Center — hotel No. 2 #2 Family · all-suite with kitchen, kids stay free 8.3

📍 Middle of Center City, directly across from the Pennsylvania Convention Center — about a 3 to 5 minute walk to Reading Terminal Market, with Jefferson Station (SEPTA Regional Rail) and the 11th/13th St subway stops just a few minutes away on foot.

🍳 All-suite with a full kitchenette in every room 🛏️ Up to 3 kids stay free + sofa bed 🥐 Free hot breakfast every day
all-suite with full kitchenetteup to 3 kids stay freefree breakfast dailyacross from Convention Center

Home2 Suites by Hilton Philadelphia - Convention Center is an all-suite Hilton built specifically for stays of several nights with a group. The reason families pick it: every room is a suite with a full kitchenette — microwave, full-size fridge, dishwasher and an electric stove — plus a built-in sofa bed in every room that pulls out for extra sleeping space. Up to 3 kids stay free in an adult's room, so parents and children fit in one room without booking two. Mornings start with free hot breakfast every day, which saves both money and time before you head out. The location sits in the middle of Center City, directly across from the Pennsylvania Convention Center — a 3 to 5 minute walk to Reading Terminal Market, the famous indoor market, with the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall historic district within walking distance. Trains and the subway are close by. Reviews praise the cleanliness, friendly staff and the value of the room space. Overall 8.3/10.

  • Every room is a suite with a full kitchenette plus a sofa bed — good for families sharing one room
  • Up to 3 kids stay free plus free hot breakfast every day
  • Across from the Convention Center, a 3 to 5 minute walk to Reading Terminal Market
  • Right by the station and market, so the area is busy and some street corners look run-down after dark
  • It's an extended-stay hotel with no pool, and paid parking runs fairly high

DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Center City — hotel No. 3 #3 family stay · year-round indoor pool in the heart of the city 8.1

📍 On Broad Street (the Avenue of the Arts) in the heart of Center City — about a 5-minute walk to City Hall, a few minutes on foot to Walnut–Locust station on the Broad Street Line, and roughly 15 minutes to the Liberty Bell.

🏊 Indoor pool open all year 🍳 48 suites with a kitchenette 🍪 Warm DoubleTree welcome cookies
On the Avenue of the ArtsYear-round indoor pool48 kitchenette suitesWarm welcome cookies

DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Center City is a big 481-room 4-star hotel in a distinctive curved high-rise on Broad Street — the stretch locals call the Avenue of the Arts — right in the middle of Center City, where you can walk almost everywhere. The reason a lot of families land here is the indoor pool and whirlpool, open all year: whether you visit when Philly is buried in snow or baking in summer, the kids can swim off a day of sightseeing. Add 48 suites with a small kitchenette for warming milk and baby food or stashing snacks in the fridge, plus the warm chocolate-chip cookies DoubleTree hands out at check-in. It is roughly a 5-minute walk to City Hall, on to the historic Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, and next door to the Pennsylvania Convention Center, with the Broad Street Line subway close by. Guests praise the location, the pool and the friendly staff; the trade-off is an older big-box building. Overall 8.1/10.

  • Central Center City spot on the Avenue of the Arts — walk to City Hall and the convention center
  • Indoor pool open year-round, so kids can swim in any season
  • Kitchenette suites plus the warm welcome cookies kids love
  • Large older building — parts of it and some rooms are starting to show their age
  • Big hotel that gets crowded during conventions and events, with a steep separate valet parking charge

Homewood Suites by Hilton University City Philadelphia — hotel No. 4 #4 family · all-suite near the zoo 8.4

📍 University City near Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania — about 5 to 10 minutes by car or transit to the Philadelphia Zoo, with 30th Street Station and the 34th St subway both within walking distance.

🍳 All-suite with a full kitchen in every room 🏊 Indoor pool plus whirlpool, open year-round 🦁 Near the Philadelphia Zoo, the oldest zoo in America
all-suite full kitchensyear-round indoor poolfree hot breakfastnear Philadelphia Zoo

Homewood Suites by Hilton University City Philadelphia is a Hilton all-suite property built specifically for longer stays and families. The feature that wins parents over is that every room is a suite with a full kitchen — a large fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher, and a full set of cookware — paired with a separate living area and a sofa bed, so families get real room to spread out and cook their own meals instead of cramming into one tight room. Every morning brings a free hot breakfast with eggs, bread, waffles, fruit, and coffee, and Monday through Thursday there is an Evening Social with light snacks and drinks. The building has an indoor pool and a whirlpool you can use year-round, no waiting for summer. The location is University City near Drexel and Penn, and the part families love most is that the Philadelphia Zoo, the oldest zoo in America, is just a few minutes away by car or transit. Reviews praise the value, the room size, and the friendly staff. It scores 8.4/10.

  • All-suite throughout: full kitchen plus separate living area, built for families
  • Indoor pool plus whirlpool open year-round, with free hot breakfast
  • Near the Philadelphia Zoo and Drexel and Penn
  • University City, not the historic old town or main tourist district
  • Parking is a paid add-on, and the area gets busy with students at times

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District — hotel No. 5 #5 family · heart of Old City, walk to Liberty Bell 7.8

📍 Right in the heart of Old City (the Independence district) on Arch Street — about a 2-minute walk to the National Constitution Center, roughly 5 minutes to Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, and a few minutes on foot to the 2nd Street subway station on the Market–Frankford Line.

🔔 About a 5-minute walk to Liberty Bell + Independence Hall 🏙️ Rooftop pool with city views, open seasonally (summer) 🛋️ Suites with a dining table + sofa bed
heart of Old Citywalk to Liberty Bell + Independence Hallrooftop pool with city views (summer)suites with dining table + sofa bed

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District is a 3-star hotel planted in the middle of Old City — the neighborhood many people call Independence, and the historic heart of both Philadelphia and the whole United States. What pulls history-minded families here is the walk-everywhere location: Liberty Bell, Independence Hall where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and the National Constitution Center just across the street. Kids get to see the real things they read about in textbooks without ever getting in a car. Back at the hotel in summer there is a seasonal rooftop outdoor pool with city views for the kids to cool off after a long day of walking. The rooms include suites with a dining table and a sofa bed, so a family has space to eat, hang out and sleep without piling onto one bed. The 2nd Street subway station on the Market–Frankford Line sits nearby for trips to other parts of town. Reviews agree on the location and the value; the trade-off is that this is a 3-star place where parts feel their age. Overall 7.8/10.

  • Heart of Old City, about a 5-minute walk to Liberty Bell + Independence Hall
  • Rooftop pool with city views, open in summer for the kids
  • Suites with a dining table + sofa bed so families can spread out
  • A 3-star hotel where parts of the building and some rooms feel their age, not modern luxury
  • Rooftop pool only opens in summer, and valet parking is a steep separate charge

Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown — hotel No. 6 #6 Family · wide rooms, good value on Logan Square 7.9

📍 On Logan Square, on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway museum row — about a 5 to 7 minute walk to the Franklin Institute and the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Please Touch Museum a short ride through Fairmount, and Suburban Station (SEPTA Regional Rail) roughly an 8 to 10 minute walk.

🔬 About a 5 to 7 minute walk to the Franklin Institute and the Parkway museums 🛏️ Wide rooms with space to unpack the whole family 💰 Better value than the luxury hotels on the same block
on Logan Square museum row5 to 7 min walk to Franklin Institutewide family roomsbetter value than nearby luxury hotels

Picture a big tower hotel standing right on the Logan Square traffic circle, one of Philadelphia's five original squares, looking out at the Swann Memorial Fountain in the middle — with the Benjamin Franklin Parkway museum row running close by. That's the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown, a 700-plus-room Sheraton (Marriott) where the family draw isn't polish but genuinely wide rooms you can spread out in and let the kids move around, paired with a price that runs clearly friendlier than the top hotels on the same stretch. The location is a real edge for museum families: walk 5 to 7 minutes from the lobby and you hit the Franklin Institute, the legendary science museum with the giant heart kids walk through, and the Academy of Natural Sciences with its dinosaurs and butterfly room. The Please Touch Museum for little ones is a short ride through Fairmount. Inside there's an indoor pool (separate fee), a gym, and on-site dining. Families praise the space, the walk-to-museums spot, and the value; the knock is that it's an older convention hotel that looks dated in spots. Overall 7.9/10.

  • On Logan Square, a 5 to 7 minute walk to the Franklin Institute
  • Wide rooms with easy space to unpack the whole family
  • Better value than the luxury hotels on the same block
  • Indoor pool charges a separate daily access fee
  • Big older convention hotel, dated in spots

🍳 Full kitchen in every room (all-suite) 🛋️ Separate sitting area with sofa bed 🥐 Free hot breakfast every day
all-suite with full kitchen in every roomseparate sitting area with sofa bedfree breakfast dailyby Penn Square, walk everywhere

Residence Inn by Marriott Philadelphia Center City is an all-suite Marriott property built specifically for several people staying several nights. What sells families on it is that every room is a suite with a full kitchen — full-size fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher and a complete set of cookware — paired with a separate sitting area with a sofa bed, so parents and kids share one room without feeling cramped. The kids get their own bed and the adults still have a corner to sit once the little ones are asleep. Mornings bring free hot breakfast every day, saving both money and time before you head out. The location is dead-center Center City right by Penn Square, about 2 blocks from the Pennsylvania Convention Center and Reading Terminal Market, and within walking reach of Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Reviews praise the cleanliness, friendly staff and the genuinely roomy suites. Overall 8.5/10.

  • Every room a suite with full kitchen plus separate sitting area and sofa bed — built for families
  • Free hot breakfast daily plus in-room grocery shopping service
  • By Penn Square, 2 blocks from the Convention Center and Reading Terminal Market
  • Busy downtown block with traffic noise; paid parking runs separate and fairly steep
  • No pool and no full-service restaurant in the building; some rooms face the building across the street

📍 Right in the Midtown part of Center City — about a 10-15 minute walk to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, with the Independence Visitor Center and Penn's Landing walkable beyond that, and the 8th St subway station (Market-Frankford / PATCO lines) close by.

🏊 Seasonal rooftop pool with a city view 🥐 Free hot breakfast every day 🔔 Walk to the Liberty Bell history district
seasonal rooftop poolfree hot breakfast dailybudget Center Citywalk to Independence Hall

Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia-Midtown by IHG is a budget IHG hotel planted in the Midtown stretch of Center City.

📍 Right on Penn's Landing along the Delaware River, next to Old City — about a 10-to-15-minute walk to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, with the RiverLink pedestrian bridge across to Adventure Aquarium in Camden, plus Christ Church and South Street close by.

🌊 On the Delaware River at Penn's Landing 🐠 Pedestrian bridge across to Adventure Aquarium 🥐 Free hot breakfast that reviewers praise
Penn's Landing waterfrontwalk to Old Citybridge to Adventure Aquariumfree breakfast reviewers praise

Holiday Inn Express Philadelphia - Penn's Landing by IHG is a budget IHG property sitting right on Penn's Landing, the Delaware River waterfront next to Old City — the neighborhood where American history started. The reason families pick it comes down to a riverside spot you can walk into the sights from, at a price you can actually reach. It's a 10-to-15-minute walk to Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and the part kids love most: you can cross the RiverLink pedestrian bridge or take the ferry to Adventure Aquarium, the big aquarium over in Camden, New Jersey, in a few minutes. The thing reviewers agree on most is the free hot breakfast — many say it's tastier and more generous than they expected at this price. Add friendly staff, two-bed family rooms, and a nearby Old City subway station, and the trade-off is simple: no pool. Overall 7.7/10.

  • Penn's Landing waterfront spot, walkable to Old City and the historic district
  • Free hot breakfast reviewers praise as generous, at a friendly price
  • Cross the pedestrian bridge or take the ferry to Adventure Aquarium for the kids

Newly built 332-room lifestyle hotel 🌳 3 to 5 minute walk to Rittenhouse Square 🛋️ Executive Suite with a separate sitting area
newly built lifestyle hotelnear Rittenhouse Squareroomy Executive Suite for familiesspotless modern rooms

Hyatt Centric Rittenhouse Square Philadelphia is a newly built 332-room lifestyle hotel sitting in one of the best corners of Center City, just a 3 to 5 minute walk from leafy Rittenhouse Square. What pulls families here is the newness and cleanliness that reviews keep agreeing on, all wrapped in the cool, modern look of the Centric brand. If you want space, the Executive Suite runs clearly bigger than a standard room, with a separate sitting area where parents and kids can actually spread out, and many high-floor rooms have big windows looking over the city skyline. You can walk to the museums lined up along Benjamin Franklin Parkway — the Franklin Institute and the art museum — shop along Walnut Street, and catch the subway or trolley nearby. The one trade-off to know: there is no pool. Overall 8.5/10.

  • Newly built, with spotless modern rooms that reviews consistently praise
  • Heart of Center City — walk to Rittenhouse Square and the Parkway museums
  • Roomy Executive Suite with a separate sitting area, good for families

Cuál elegir — por estilo de viaje

🏨
#1 family · middle of Center City
Sonesta Philadelphia Rittenhouse Square

#1 Sonesta Rittenhouse is staying in the middle of Center City where you can walk to everything, with a summer rooftop pool and a suite roomy enough for a family to actually spread out — it wins on location and family value more than on all-out luxury.

🏨
#2 Family · all-suite with kitchen, kids stay free
Home2 Suites by Hilton Philadelphia - Convention Center

#2 Home2 Suites Convention Center is an all-suite hotel where every room comes with a full kitchenette and a built-in sofa bed, plus free breakfast and a spot right across from the Convention Center within walking distance of everything — it wins on value and family space rather than luxury.

DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Center City

#3 DoubleTree Center City is about staying dead-center on the Avenue of the Arts, within walking distance of everything, with an indoor pool the kids can use in any season and kitchenette suites that save a family trip — strong on location, a year-round indoor pool and value, more than on sleek modern luxury.

🏨
#4 family · all-suite near the zoo
Homewood Suites by Hilton University City Philadelphia

#4 Homewood Suites University City is a full-kitchen suite with a separate living area at a price families can actually reach, plus an indoor pool you can use all year and free hot breakfast every morning — it stands out on value and usable space for a zoo trip rather than on luxury or an old-town address.

Wyndham Philadelphia Historic District

#5 Wyndham Historic District is about waking up a few steps from Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, with a rooftop pool for the kids in summer and suites that give the whole family a dining table and a sofa bed to spread out on — it wins on its central historic-district location and value more than on modern luxury.

🏨
#6 Family · wide rooms, good value on Logan Square
Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown

#6 The Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown is a genuinely wide room on Logan Square along the museum row, at a price friendlier than the luxury hotels on the same block — an easy walk to the Franklin Institute, with an indoor pool for the kids, trading some old-convention-hotel polish for the value and the space.

¿Es Filadelfia segura para las familias?
Sí — las zonas turísticas familiares (Center City, Rittenhouse, Old City, Logan Square, University City, la hilera de museos del Parkway) están bien iluminadas, concurridas y son genuinamente seguras de día y de noche. Quédate en esos barrios y estarás bien. Las zonas con problemas reales de seguridad (North Philadelphia, partes de Kensington) no son destinos turísticos de todas formas y tendrías que esforzarte bastante para acabar allí. Aplica el sentido común habitual de ciudad grande: lleva el teléfono en bolsillos con cierre en el metro, no saques efectivo a la vista y usa Uber/Lyft a altas horas de la noche en lugar de caminar tramos largos.
¿Cuándo es la mejor época para visitar Filadelfia con niños?
De abril a junio y de septiembre a octubre son los períodos ideales — temperaturas agradables (15–25°C), árboles frondosos, menos humedad y el calendario de festivales al aire libre de la ciudad en plena temporada. Julio–agosto es caluroso y pegajoso (28–35°C con alta humedad), lo que explica por qué las piscinas en las azoteas de esta lista son tan valiosas. De noviembre a marzo hace frío (a menudo bajo cero) pero las tarifas de los hoteles bajan un 20–30% y la oferta de museos interiores — Franklin Institute, Please Touch, Academia de Ciencias Naturales — parece hecha para los días de lluvia en invierno.
¿Qué barrio de Filadelfia es mejor para familias que visitan por primera vez?
Center City o Rittenhouse Square — sin dudarlo. Estás a 5–10 minutos caminando del corredor de museos del Parkway (Franklin Institute, Please Touch en transporte corto, Museo de Arte), a 15 minutos caminando del Liberty Bell e Independence Hall en Old City, y rodeado de restaurantes para familias. Las estaciones de metro/tranvía de SEPTA están en todas partes para cuando las piernas pequeñas no den más. Old City es genial si la historia es el principal atractivo — literalmente te despiertas junto al Liberty Bell — pero tiene menos opciones para cenar después de las 9 de la noche.
¿Cómo llego desde el aeropuerto de Filadelfia (PHL) hasta el Centro de la Ciudad?
El traslado más sencillo de cualquier ciudad importante de EE. UU. El tren Airport Line de SEPTA sale desde cada terminal cada 30 minutos, tarda 25 minutos hasta la Estación Jefferson o 30 minutos hasta la Estación 30th Street y cuesta unos $7 por adulto ($3,50 para niños de 4 a 11 años, gratis para menores de 4). Compra los billetes en las máquinas expendedoras del andén. Uber/Lyft cuestan $30–45 según el tráfico. El taxi tiene tarifa fija de $28,50 hasta el Centro de la Ciudad. Evita los hoteles del aeropuerto a menos que tengas un vuelo al amanecer.
¿Cómo funcionan el dinero, las propinas y los pagos en Filadelfia?
El dólar estadounidense es la moneda local. Las tarjetas de crédito (Visa/Mastercard) funcionan en todas partes incluso en puestos de hot dogs; Apple Pay y Google Pay son ampliamente aceptados. El efectivo es útil para las propinas pequeñas. Las propinas son verdaderamente ineludibles aquí: 18–20% en restaurantes con servicio de mesa (los camareros ganan la mayor parte de sus ingresos con las propinas), $1–2 por bebida en un bar, $2–5 por bolsa para los maleteros del hotel, 15–20% para taxis y rideshare. También hay un impuesto sobre las ventas del 8% en Filadelfia que se añade a la mayoría de las compras en caja — el precio etiquetado nunca es el precio final.
¿Qué comida deben probar absolutamente las familias en Filadelfia?
Tres cosas, en orden. Primero: un cheesesteak de Filadelfia — olvídate del duelo turístico de Pat's contra Geno's y prueba John's Roast Pork o Angelo's (las preferidas de los locales, a los niños les encantan). Segundo: un sándwich de cerdo asado con brócoli rabe y provolone fuerte — es el sándwich local que supera al cheesesteak. Tercero: el Reading Terminal Market — un mercado cubierto a dos manzanas del Centro de Convenciones con una docena de puestos, panaderías amish, donuts recién hechos, pretzels, helado y almuerzos completos para toda la familia por $15–25 en total. Es el mejor destino gastronómico de la ciudad.
¿Necesito visa para visitar EE. UU. como turista?
La mayoría de los viajeros de países del Programa de Exención de Visa (incluyendo Singapur, Japón, Corea del Sur, Taiwán, Reino Unido, países de la UE y Australia) solo necesitan un ESTA — solicítalo en línea en esta.cbp.dhs.gov, cuesta unos $21, la aprobación suele ser en minutos y es válido 2 años para estancias de hasta 90 días. Los titulares de pasaportes tailandeses y otras nacionalidades necesitan una visa B1/B2 completa — solicítala en la embajada de EE. UU. más cercana, la tasa es de unos $185, espera una entrevista presencial y un plazo de 2 a 8 semanas. Consulta el sitio oficial travel.state.gov del Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. para tu país específico antes de reservar vuelos.
