Wilmington, Delaware

Nestled in the Brandywine Valley in Northern Delaware, Wilmington is the state's largest city and is an attractive little metropolis with plenty to do. Between tax-free shopping year round and the compelling mix of historical and cultural sites, Wilmington is a great place to spend a year in of itself, but it’s central location and convenient train station makes visiting other major East Coast cities a breeze!
