Reviews

**Come face-to-face with U.S. history in Philadelphia, the “birthplace of America.” Today, Philly’s pro sports teams dominate, renowned museums feed your spirit and iconic cheesesteaks satisfy your appetite.**

Philadelphia is one of the most important cities in United States history: it’s the place where Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and other Founding Fathers declared independence in 1776 and went on to create a new nation. Follow in their footsteps when you visit Philadelphia, strolling through [Independence National Historical Park](https://www.expedia.com/Independence-National-Historical-Park-Center-City.d507245.Vacation-Attraction), from the iconic landmarks of Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell to outstanding museums. Modern street art features huge murals, while Philly cheesesteaks are a street food icon. The gleaming Comcast Technology Center and other impressive skyscrapers dominate the skyline. For exceptional views and sunset dining, climb to high-rise rooftop bars and restaurants.

#### Best areas for accommodation in Philadelphia

- For first timers
- For couples
- For families

Center City is one of the best places to stay in Philadelphia for first-timers. This downtown location lets you walk to major historic sites. The [Independence Visitor Center](https://www.expedia.com/Independence-Visitor-Center-Center-City.d553248621554455056.Vacation-Attraction) is a great place to start exploring the nation’s first World Heritage City. Today, Philly’s tallest buildings tower above this neighborhood, with hotels and restaurants offering sky-high opportunities to identify iconic landmarks while enjoying gourmet dining and cocktails.

Some of the best places for couples to stay in Philadelphia are near [Rittenhouse Square](https://www.expedia.com/Philadelphia-Rittenhouse-Square.dx641595871968821248). Walk hand in hand between Philly’s historic sites and theaters, cozy bars and cultural spots, such as the [Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts](https://www.expedia.com/Pennsylvania-Academy-Of-The-Fine-Arts-Center-City.d502283.Vacation-Attraction). Wedding couples often pose for photos in front of [Philadelphia City Hall](https://www.expedia.com/City-Hall-Center-City.d502275.Vacation-Attraction) or in LOVE Park, where the giant red LOVE sculpture symbolizes both romance and “brotherly love” (the Greek origin of the city’s name).

One of the best places to stay in Philadelphia for families, the Fairmount neighborhood offers kid-friendly museum visits, boating or strolling along the [Schuylkill River](https://www.expedia.com/Schuylkill-River-Trail-West-Philadelphia.d553248621532663978.Vacation-Attraction) and the famous 72 steps featured in the *Rocky* movie franchise. Staying near [Washington Square](https://www.expedia.com/Washington-Square-Park-Center-City.d507235.Vacation-Attraction) puts you near the historic sites of this onetime U.S. capital. Take the kids for mini history lessons, then return to the square for picnics or shaded walks around the pretty fountains.

#### Best time to visit Philadelphia

- **Summer (July to August):** One of the best times to visit Philadelphia. Celebrate the Fourth of July where U.S. independence began at the Wawa Welcome America festival. Expect hot weather and some crowds.
- **Fall (September to November):** Harvest festivals, Oktoberfests, fall leaves and football.
- **Winter (December to March):** Outdoor skating, festive markets and holiday light shows. Prepare for cold weather and occasional snow. Winter’s end brings gorgeous colors and scents at the Philadelphia Flower Show.
- **Spring (April to June):** Early spring is a quieter time to visit Philadelphia, with cherry blossoms decorating the [Morris Arboretum & Gardens](https://www.expedia.com/Morris-Arboretum-Northwest-Philadelphia.d502277.Vacation-Attraction).

#### How many days to spend in Philadelphia

Allow at least two to three days for a Philadelphia vacation. Spend days at historic sites and museums and evenings at rooftop restaurants or performing arts venues. With an extra day, travel northwest over rolling hills to [Valley Forge National Historical Park](https://www.expedia.com/Valley-Forge-National-Historic-Park-Philadelphia.d507240.Vacation-Attraction), where George Washington spent the winter of 1777 while British soldiers occupied Philadelphia.

#### The vibe of Philadelphia

From history to music to sports, the Philly vibe centers on independence and passion. Philadelphia’s architecture reveals a blend of history and modernity, with 1770s buildings representing the solemnity and intensity of the revolutionary Founding Fathers, while today’s skyscrapers declare Philadelphia’s place as a major U.S. metropolis. Music icons like Questlove and The Roots developed their jazzy, hip-hop style in Philly; they return every June to host the Roots Picnic festival, a nod to their early days as street performers. If you doubt present-day Philadelphia’s passion, start a conversation with locals, who’ll likely engage in fervent defense of their favorite cheesesteak restaurants or sports teams.

#### What is Philadelphia famous for?

Philadelphia is known for the iconic *Rocky* movies, Philly cheesesteaks, fantastic cultural destinations and exciting professional sports. You might recognize the [Philadelphia Museum of Art](https://www.expedia.com/Philadelphia-Museum-Of-Art-West-Philadelphia.d502288.Vacation-Attraction) from its appearance in *Rocky*, but don’t just pose on the steps: go inside for stunning global art collections. Spend a day or more at the complex, which includes the nearby [Rodin Museum](https://www.expedia.com/Rodin-Museum-Center-City.d502289.Vacation-Attraction) in a beautiful beaux arts building. All across town, you’ll find hundreds of spots for cheesesteaks, the city’s iconic sandwich, which originated as an alternative to hot dogs. Professional sports venues are clustered in the city’s south, with the Philadelphia Eagles (NFL), Flyers (NHL), Phillies (MLB), 76ers (NBA) and Union (MLS) offering thrilling action and frequently vying for top positions in their leagues.

#### Events in Philadelphia

Events in Philadelphia start with a flourish on January 1, when thousands don ornate costumes to march in the annual Mummers Parade. In March, the whole town turns green for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, a celebration that’s united the city’s Irish community for over 250 years. You’ll find other colorful parades for the Lunar New Year (January or February) and Pride Month (June). Philly has two celebrated movie events: the Philadelphia Latino Film Festival (May-July) and the Philadelphia Film Festival (October). In November, join the Philadelphia Marathon or cheer on the thousands of runners.

#### Top attractions in Philadelphia

- For first timers
- For couples
- For families

Foremost among things to do in Philadelphia for first-time visitors is touring the city’s historic sites. Top of the list is [Independence Hall](https://www.expedia.com/Independence-Hall-Center-City.d502280.Vacation-Attraction), the signing location for the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. In five minutes, you can walk from the hall to the [Liberty Bell](https://www.expedia.com/Liberty-Bell-Center-Center-City.d502282.Vacation-Attraction); it was created in the 1700s to top the Pennsylvania Statehouse and is now an international symbol of freedom.

One of the best things for couples to do in Philadelphia is to enjoy the extensive art scene. Besides the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Barnes Foundation, the city has around 4,000 large murals to look out for. Stop at South Street’s [Magic Gardens](https://www.expedia.com/Philadelphias-Magic-Gardens-South-Philadelphia.d6322861.Vacation-Attraction) for colorful mosaic art. The street’s intimate bistros and music venues are perfect for date nights. Meanwhile, the [Gayborhood](https://www.expedia.com/Philadelphia-Gayborhood.dx553248635976471689) in Midtown Village is a hot spot for LGBTQ+ clubs and cafes.

If your kids are into history, a walking tour of Center City is just the thing for a Philadelphia family vacation. Slightly north of the city center, the [Eastern State Penitentiary](https://www.expedia.com/Eastern-State-Penitentiary-North-Philadelphia.d6078599.Vacation-Attraction) is especially spooky at Halloween. It’s not far from the Rocky Statue, perfect for taking photos showing your best victory pose. Explore hands-on fun and educational exhibits at the Please Touch Museum and The Franklin Institute.

#### Almost 40 million visitors come to this Pennsylvania city each year to see important sites of U.S. history and locations made famous by a popular movie franchise.

Philadelphia was founded as the city of “brotherly love” in the late 1600s by William Penn for Quakers seeking a land without religious persecution. Visit this historic city to explore important sites from the early days of the United States as well as modern pop culture.

Independence National Historical Park holds Independence Hall, where John Hancock, Benjamin Franklin and other founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. Nearby, see the recognizable crack and important message of the Liberty Bell: “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof.”

The Eastern State Penitentiary is an unlikely but very popular tourist stop. Examine the unique solitary prison design and look for the cell where Al Capone was held. Stop at the Reading Terminal Market for fresh foods in the same indoor structure where the market started in 1892\. The Franklin Institute offers hands-on science and technology education in 11 permanent galleries, carrying on the learning and discovery approach of famed hometown hero, Benjamin Franklin, scientist and statesman. See more than 1,300 animals at the Philadelphia Zoo, the first zoo established in the U.S.

The city has many other cultural attractions besides its historical treasures. Put on your gray sweatshirt and jog around Philadelphia and along the Schuylkill River just like Sylvester Stallone did in the film *Rocky* and its many sequels. Hum *Gonna Fly Now* as you run up the 72 steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Step inside for art ranging from collections featured in the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 to exceptional modern works in over 200 galleries. The Barnes Foundation has a superb collection of post-impressionist and early modern works.

Head to south Philadelphia to see the Eagles play football. Alternatively watch the game at a neighborhood bar just about anywhere in the city while enjoying a classic Philly cheese steak and a Yuengling beer made in nearby Pottsville or one of the area’s craft breweries.

#### Food in Philadelphia

Philadelphia’s iconic food is the Philly cheesesteak, a delicious concoction of thin-sliced beef, gooey cheese and optional onions on a long, soft roll. Visit Philadelphia’s original Pat’s King of Steaks, where the dish was invented in 1930, or sample Dalessandro’s Steaks in the north and variations across the city to find your favorite. Buy a “water ice” for a refreshing Italian frozen dessert. If you’re after a classier dining experience, international fine-dining restaurants showcase the city’s rich culinary diversity, many with rooftop views or live music. Philly’s diverse coffee shops serve all kinds of brews, from Vietnamese coffees to matcha lattes and espresso martinis.

#### Nightlife in Philadelphia

You’ll find numerous options for nightlife and entertainment when you travel to Philadelphia. Music venues range from soft jazz lounges to thumping EDM dance clubs. Get formal with an evening of theater at the [Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts](https://www.expedia.com/Kimmel-Center-For-The-Performing-Arts-Center-City.d6078603.Vacation-Attraction), followed by elegant drinks at one of Philly’s rooftop bars. Take your pick from rustic craft beer hot spots and swanky cocktail lounges atop high-end hotels. The city’s eclectic selection of theater productions encompasses everything from *Hamilton* and other Broadway favorites to drag shows and murder mysteries. If you’re a sports fan, watch the Philadelphia Eagles play a nighttime football game at [Lincoln Financial Field](https://www.expedia.com/Lincoln-Financial-Field-South-Philadelphia.d502305.Vacation-Attraction).

#### Shopping in Philadelphia

Shopping is a big part of Philadelphia tourism. Shop and eat your way through [Reading Terminal Market](https://www.expedia.com/Reading-Terminal-Market-Center-City.d502301.Vacation-Attraction), with fresh produce, baked goods, Pennsylvania Dutch specialties, gifts … and, of course, cheesesteaks. [Chinatown](https://www.expedia.com/Philadelphia-Chinatown.dx6004691) has a diverse selection of Asian specialty foods, Korean beauty supplies and Japanese *kawaii* (cute) gifts. Did you know clothing and shoe sales in Philly are tax-free? For more high-end shopping in Philadelphia, walk along Rittenhouse Square and Liberty Place to find malls and department stores. Head to Germantown and South Street for vintage boutiques or to South Philly’s sports arenas to pick up team merchandise.

#### Getting around Philadelphia

Within Philadelphia, travel is easy. Download or print out a map of Historic Philadelphia and walk the easy-to-navigate grid to reach top attractions. Find a convenient bike-share station and cycle along the many bike lanes and trails. When you need a ride, Philly’s excellent transportation system, SEPTA, serves the city and surrounding five counties with buses, trolleys and subway lines; many transit vehicles have accessible entry and accommodate bikes and strollers.

#### Philadelphia currency and budget

You can splurge on your Philadelphia trip with high-end hotels and gourmet dining or enjoy a more budget-friendly vacation. Many of the historic sites are free but may require timed entry tickets. Expect to spend about $150-$200 USD per day for accommodations, food, transportation and attractions. Tipping is expected, generally 15%-20%. Here are indicative prices of what you can expect to pay for meals:

- A meal at an inexpensive restaurant = $20.00 USD
- A glass of draft domestic beer = $6.00 USD
- A medium cappuccino = $5.00 USD
- A meal for two at a mid-range restaurant = $75.00 USD
