Founding streets, great museums, market counters, and neighborhood evenings
PhiladelphiaPennsylvania
Philadelphia places Independence Hall, Reading Terminal Market, Center City, the Parkway museums, brick rowhouses, and the Delaware and Schuylkill river edges inside one substantial city trip.
Philadelphia in four settings
Brick streets, Parkway collections, market aisles, and neighborhood evenings
Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell open onto Old City, Washington Square, and Society Hill. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway gathers major art, science, and natural-history collections across town, while Reading Terminal, Chinatown, South Philadelphia, and the river paths supply the meals and outdoor hours between them.
Historic Philadelphia for a first visit
Connect Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell with the Museum of the American Revolution, National Constitution Center, Washington Square, Old City, and Society Hill.
Choose a Parkway museum day
Compare the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Barnes Foundation, Rodin Museum, Franklin Institute, and Academy of Natural Sciences without overfilling the day.
Eat through the city, not one ranking
Begin at Reading Terminal Market, then follow roast pork, cheesesteaks, hoagies, pretzels, Chinatown, and South Philly according to appetite and route.
The city after the headline sights
Add a square, a rowhouse block, and dinner nearby
Rittenhouse Square, Washington Square West, Old City, Fairmount, Chinatown, University City, and South Philadelphia each change the evening. Finish a museum or landmark day in one of those neighborhoods instead of adding another attraction across town.
