Visiting Collingswood
Collingswood works especially well as a day-trip destination: Haddon Avenue dining and shopping, the Saturday farmers market, Knight Park, arts and performance venues, and PATCO access are all packed into a small borough.
Traditional hotel inventory inside Collingswood itself is limited, so overnight visitors often stay in nearby Cherry Hill, Camden or Philadelphia and travel into the borough.
