EDITOR’S NOTE
E R I K WE BE R
ENDLESS DISCOVERIES E very year, I’m reminded that there’s always more to uncover around Philadelphia’s Main Line and western suburbs. Just when it feels like I’ve seen it all, a new restaurant impresses, a boutique reinvents itself or a beloved landmark recaptures my attention. That’s the beauty of living and working here: We’re always evolving. And that also bodes well for visitors. The Main Line region deftly balances history and progress. The centuries-old Valley Forge National Historical Park is just a few miles from bustling King of Prussia Town Center, with every 21st-century amenity imaginable. Plentiful parks and trails offer peaceful
escapes; our arts and culture scene continues to inspire; and first-class dining opportunities abound. More than just a visitor’s guide, our Ultimate Guide to the Main Line celebrates what makes our region such a desirable place to live, work and play. Inside, you’ll find everything you need to get acquainted—or re-acquainted— with the area, from our dining bucket list to an insider’s itinerary for a perfect day in the Main Line region. Craving fresh air? Our outdoor picks will get you moving. And when it’s time to recharge, there’s our curated list of salons and spas. Here’s to finding fun, adventure, connection and inspiration.

OUR TOWNS
The Main Line region is a dynamic patchwork of vibrant dining and shopping hubs, upscale neighborhoods, and historic main streets.
CHESTER COUNTY DEVON, BERWYN & PAOLI
This trio of relatively low-key hamlets along Lancaster Avenue feeds off the notoriety of Devon Yard, which includes the high-end shopping destinations Anthropologie and Terrain, plus upscale dining and more. The complex is adjacent to the Devon Horse Show grounds, the oldest and largest outdoor multi-breed equestrian competition in the country. West of Devon, hot spots like La Cabra Brewing, Nectar and Clay’s Creative Corner Bakery make Berwyn a draw for beer lovers and foodies. Known more as a residential and rail hub, Paoli has gotten a boost thanks to a long-awaited upgrade of its train station.
KENNETT SQUARE
Known as the Mushroom Capital of the World after the product that sustains its surrounding farms, Kennett Square has grown considerably thanks to its affordability, walkability and familyfriendly vibe. State Street offers an array of shopping and dining options, and the world-renowned Longwood Gardens isn’t far from town. Just a few miles west of Paoli, Malvern’s robust shopping and dining scene is centered on King Street, with its charming eateries, unique boutiques and reputable galleries. The town is quaint but sophisticated, and accessible by commuter rail seven days a week.
WEST CHESTER Touted as the western suburbs’ hottest town, West Chester offers history, a sizzling real estate market, excellent schools, and a quaint downtown with brick sidewalks, great dining and drinking scenes, and a full slate of annual events. The borough is also the seat of Chester County and home to West Chester University of Pennsylvania, the largest of 14 state schools.

EXTON & DOWNINGTOWN What the unincorporated Exton lacks in a proper downtown, it makes up for in one of the region’s nicer train stations, the walkable Main Street complex (pictured), the 14-mile Chester Valley Trail, Chester County Library, and loads of shopping and dining options. Plenty of upscale apartment complexes and high-end townhomes support the upwardly mobile. Two stops west, Downingtown boasts a cozy downtown, good schools and the award-winning Victory Brewing Company’s original location. Eagleview Town Center offers some excellent dining options on a well-utilized town square just minutes from Marsh Creek State Park and ß Trail.

DELAWARE COUNTY BROOMALL & HAVERTOWN
Located along West Chester Pike with direct access to I-476, these neighboring towns offer reasonably priced homes and a relatively easy commute to Philadelphia. Locally known as the 33rd county of Ireland, Havertown boasts a robust Irish population—and a lively summer celebration to go with it. Broomall is popular with young families.
CHADDS FORD & GLEN MILLS
ARDMORE The Main Line’s most thriving town center, Ardmore benefits from convenient commuter access to Center City Philadelphia and a surplus of dining, entertainment and shopping options. Established in 1928 as one of the first shopping centers in the United States, Suburban Square continues to have its own unique energy thanks to its mix of fine restaurants and upscale retailers and boutiques. Ardmore Music Hall (pictured) lures national and regional music headliners, and high-end apartment complexes give the town a more urban feel.
The late Andrew Wyeth’s Pennsylvania hometown is enjoying the fruits of the revitalized Chadds Ford Barn Shops, where a bakery and cafe, artisans, and service-oriented businesses comingle. Chadds Ford is also home to Brandywine Museum of Art, Brandywine Battlefield State Park and the John Chads House. A few miles away, Glen Mills is booming with new growth in every sector.
NEWTOWN SQUARE
Once a sleepy crossroads town, Newtown Square is experiencing a major revitalization. The 218-acre Ellis Preserve offers multi-use event space, shops, restaurants and more. High-end living options are another draw. Adding to the appeal: nearby Ridley Creek State Park and the prestigious Aronimink Golf Club, host of the 2026 PGA Championship.
VILLANOVA & ST. DAVIDS
MONTGOMERY COUNTY (& NEARBY) CONSHOHOCKEN
Located just north of the core Main Line on a bend in the Schuylkill River, Conshohocken’s blue-collar roots have been overwhelmed by a swarm of white-collar young professionals drawn to its restaurants, bar scene and more affordable living options. Access to Center City is an on-ramp away via I-76, and top-notch dining is the norm.
BOT TOM: TE S S A MAR I E I MAG E S
Young families and millennials can’t get enough of affordable Phoenixville. Its thriving downtown has undergone a food and beverage renaissance, with distilleries and breweries popping up everywhere—especially along Bridge Street. And with all the new housing options, there’s little downside to this former steel town.

PHOENIXVILLE
Nine months out of the year, these Radnor Township neighbors play host to Villanova University students and fans. Both offer a traditional Main Line vibe sprinkled with historic homes and modern amenities.

BRYN MAWR Just two stops west of Ardmore on the commuter rail line, Bryn Mawr is home to some fine private schools and nationally ranked Bryn Mawr College. It oozes small-town charm, with estate homes lining quaint streets. There’s also a toprated hospital and the utterly unique Bryn Mawr Film Institute (pictured).
MEDIA
TOP : ED WI LLIA MS
M I DDLE : M . F IS CH E T T I/ V ISI T PH I L ADELPH IA
Thanks to its many festivals and community events, Media is one of the liveliest towns in the region. A community sensibility and plenty of parking mesh well with its walkability, making it a draw for younger families, empty-nesters and Philadelphians looking to settle in an accessible suburban enclave. Lined with restaurants and a handful of boutiques, State Street is the borough’s busy center. The trolley line completes the cozy, old-timey vibe.
GLADWYNE
Given the hilly, heavily wooded setting, it’s easy to forget that Gladwyne’s hyper-upscale neighborhoods are so close to I-76, affording easy access to Center City. One of the wealthiest zip codes in the country, it’s also home to Philadelphia Country Club and numerous sprawling estates and awe-inspiring mansions.
HAVERFORD
Beautiful estate homes define this old-school suburban enclave. You’ll also find the esteemed Haverford School and the mini-Ivy-caliber Haverford College, along with Merion Golf Club and Merion Cricket Club, both bastions of Main Line tradition. Founded in 1865, the latter offers squash, lawn tennis and (of course) cricket. Merion Golf Club, meanwhile, has hosted five U.S. Open tournaments.
NARBERTH & WYNNEWOOD
Just 10-15 minutes to Philadelphia by train, Narberth and Wynnewood balance small-town charm and urban sophistication, making both an easier transition for former city dwellers. Narberth’s cluster of restaurants offers impressive variety. While more spread out, Wynnewood’s dining scene also has a global flair.

KING OF PRUSSIA & VALLEY FORGE The nexus of one of the largest, most successful malls in the country, King of Prussia is well on its way to becoming a mini city of its own. At KOP’s walkable Town Center, a park-like courtyard area hosts free concerts and movie screenings in warm weather. If you’re looking for more trees and hills, Valley Forge National Historical Park (pictured) is minutes away. It’s home to George Washington’s Revolutionary War encampment, along with a popular network of hiking and biking trails.
MANAYUNK & BALA CYNWYD
A quasi-European town built into a scenic cliff overlooking the Schuylkill River, Manayunk is technically part of Philadelphia, which makes it a haven for young professionals and empty-nesters who want some of the perks of Center City without the typical urban annoyances. Renovations and new construction are the norm in Manayunk, so there’s an
abundance of housing options. Main Street boasts plenty of retail distractions and every cuisine imaginable. Nearby Wissahickon Valley Park offers a gorge, meadows and 57 miles of trails. Just across the river from Main Street via footbridge is Bala Cynwyd’s waterfront showpiece, Ironworks at Pencoyd Landing. The converted 19thcentury iron and steel foundry has two first-class restaurants, office space and a high-end hotel. UG MAINLINETODAY.COM
