惠灵顿，也被称为“友善之城”或“钉子城”，是西弗吉尼亚州一座拥有26,000人口（截至2019年）的城市。惠灵顿以其维多利亚式建筑比美国任何其他城市都多而闻名。

抵达

从教堂山看惠灵顿市中心

惠灵顿位于西弗吉尼亚州北部（或西部）的狭长地带，介于俄亥俄州和宾夕法尼亚州之间，距离匹兹堡西南约45英里，距离哥伦布东部约120英里。

乘飞机

• 1 惠灵顿-俄亥俄县机场 (HLG  ^IATA) (位于惠灵顿市中心以北8英里，靠近WV Route 2)。 尽管该机场对公众开放，但没有商业航空公司在此运营。 (2019年3月更新)

最近的商业航班服务是前往匹兹堡国际机场（Pittsburgh International Airport）（PIT ^IATA），该机场位于惠灵顿东北方向约40英里处的宾夕法尼亚州西部。

乘汽车

从亨利堡大桥看惠灵顿山

70号州际公路是东西方向前往惠灵顿的主要路线。来自俄亥俄州北部和宾夕法尼亚州西部地区的旅客可以通过OH Route 7或WV Route 2到达惠灵顿。从俄亥俄州南部和西弗吉尼亚州南部可以通过WV Route 2到达惠灵顿，或通过79号州际公路和77号州际公路前往更南方的地区。250号美国国道、40号美国国道和88号西弗吉尼亚州道是经过惠灵顿的其他主要公路。

• 2 惠灵顿悬索桥. 这是第一座横跨俄亥俄河的桥梁，建于1849年，长1010英尺，它极大地促进了该地区的人口 influx。在其建造时，它是世界上最大的悬索桥，尽管该称号很快在1851年被刘易斯顿-尼亚加拉湖滨桥所取代。然而，它仍然是现存最古老的仍在使用的车辆悬索桥。  
• 3 越南退伍军人纪念桥 (I-470号桥)。 2019年3月更新

乘火车

最近的客运铁路服务在宾夕法尼亚州的匹兹堡，由Amtrak的Pennsylvanian号和Capitol Limited号路线提供。之后可以通过汽车或Amtrak提供的接驳巴士服务到达惠灵顿。

四处逛逛

惠灵顿是一个小城市，交通选择有限。

乘汽车

汽车是惠灵顿最有效的出行方式。惠灵顿的交通几乎不存在，除了与道路施工或交通事故相关的拥堵外，驾车穿过惠灵顿可以非常轻松。

70号州际公路贯穿市区，连接东西方向，并提供通往该地区主要道路的主要通道。I-70通过横跨俄亥俄河的支流（0号出口）进入市区，连接40号美国国道以及惠灵顿岛赛车场和赌场。I-70随后横跨俄亥俄河主河道，进入惠灵顿市中心，然后继续向东穿过惠灵顿隧道。

40号美国国道（旧国家公路）是惠灵顿的主要商业干道，东西向穿过市区，并与I-70有多个互通立交。2号州道是惠灵顿主要的南北向道路，大致与俄亥俄河平行贯穿整个城市。2号州道在市中心南部是一条有限进入的高速公路，在市中心北部则是一条双车道地表街道。470号州际公路是I-70的一条支线，始于市区的Elm Grove区（5A号出口），向南延伸，穿过市区的South Wheeling区横跨俄亥俄河，并在俄亥俄州St. Clairsville（219号出口）外的I-70汇合。

乘巴士

• 惠灵顿-俄亥俄谷地区交通管理局, ☏ +1 304 232-2190. 一个本地公共巴士系统在白天运营穿越市区大部分地区的巴士服务，但服务时间和频率非常有限。
