    Philly has 4 seasons, check the weather before packing your bag, it could be anything to winter coat, scarf and hat, to shorts and a t-shirt.
    Definately bring good walking shoes no matter what the weather!

    It's a beautiful little city, don't forget your camera. I didn't bring my SLR on this trip, I didn't really need it, though I did borrow Lou's a couple of times. I have a Canon Pro1, it was sufficiant.

    A map or a guidebook would have been handy. I wouldn't have thought I needed one, but it just goes to show, whether near or far from home, they are good to have.

    You might want to pack something for indigestion! Philly's gastronomic delights may have consequences for those with weak stomachs!
    By the way, you gotta try a soft pretzel!

  • MUST BRING COMFORTABLE WALKING SHOES. Philly is a walking town (at least downtown) - in fact there is a walking tour guide available from the tourist kiosk on the BF Parkway (reccommended).

  • As there is so much to see in Philadelphia bring a good pair of walking shoes (nothing is really too far to walk but you might end up doing a lot of it)

    Unless you need something special dont bother as there is a drug store on almost every other city block once you get downtown

    The New Jersey coast is only an hours drive away so its worth a trip. Alantic City is also only an Hour away

    Lots of film as Philly is one photogenic city and a car helps you get to those out of the way spots.

  • Get a map of the city and, if necessary, train/bus schedules (www.septa.com). Wear comfortable shoes (and sunscreen in warmer weather).

  • Weather is usually cold in winter. Temperature is about 30 to 50 degree Farenheit and also windy during winter time. Summer time is very hot and temperature is running in between 90 and above Farenheit.

  • I was surprised to find that it was 87 degrees! I thought for sure it would be cold! I packed winter coats, long sleeves and pants! Big Mistake! Pack dresses and shorts, T-shirts, and flip flops

  • Remember that in Philly, it gets really warm (30+ degrees celcius) in the summer and really cold (in the negatives) in the winter. This means that air condioning and heat is not just on, its at full blast, so remember to dress/pack layers!
