Welcome to Wilmington DE & The Brandywine Valley

The scenic and historic Brandywine Valley in Delaware and Pennsylvania is also home to some of the best shops and markets, world-class restaurants, and charming places to stay. Wilmington, Delaware, located on the Christina and Delaware rivers, is the urban hub of the region, with lively streets, beautiful parks, and lots to do and see in every season. The city has so much to offer in neighborhoods like Trolley Square, Market Street, and the Riverfront, and serves as a center for banking and innovation with world-class restaurants, museums, performing arts venues, and of course, tax-free shopping!

Outside the city, charming towns like Kennett Square and Chadd’s Ford, Pennsylvania, and Hockessin and Greenville, Delaware offer so much to explore and do, all within an easy drive from New York, Philadelphia or Washington. Come stand where George Washington and his Continental Army stood in 1777, walk through the perfectly preserved estates of the duPonts, and move on to dinner at a James-Beard-award-winning restaurant followed by an outdoor evening performance at Longwood Gardens.
