Independence - Carpenter's Hall
81 Reviews Revered by the American, this old (very old, in American scale) building is a landmark in their history, and a reference to democracy. Don't expect astonishing sights, just the authenticity and the respect for a short but brilliant history.
51 Reviews Yes, it is there. Yes it is broken. Yes it is well guarded, forcing us to the now common gymnastics of taking off belts, shoes, and everything suspicious or not. I know, that, despite having less than three centuries, it means, for the American, the same than D. Afonso Henriques sword for the...

Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia
4 Reviews and 625 Opinions Located in the heart of the city, it seems that this is one of the better hotels with an ability to...
24 Reviews Don't be surprise if you find this place with a long line even on a regular day. I once waited almost an hour to get my cheese steak which didn't bother me since I sometimes drove 2 hours from NJ just to have a taste of this. It's that good! at least for me. Don't expect to find a decent nice place...
12 Reviews Book ahead - this is a popular and busy venue. We had to wait for some 30 minutes. The service is good, but they can be over attentive from time to time. Good portions and menu choice - professional and young staff. try a mix of menu items - please note some of them are quite small.
3 Reviews My daughter bought me a Warmdaddy's gift certificate for my birthday. They will not honor it; beyond me... I've called with no return call, emialed with no reply and went there and the manager disappeared! What a rip-off! Very poor management. Read other reviews, like on Trip Advisor and you'll see...
4 Reviews Ah South Street that once venerable strip of the offbeat and creative. Well if you are interested in being cast as an extra in the new Ludacris video or have an anthropology paper due on the mating habits of the Jersey cheeseball, South Street is the place for you. Go check out the mosaic garden for...
10 Reviews At 30th Street you will find Philadelphia's main train station. Providing SEPTA services for Philadelphia and its wider conurbation, it is also home to AMTRAK services to Baltimore, New York, Washington DC and all over the United States. NJ Transit services link this station to New Jersey, including...
Philadelphia International Airport
9 Reviews When arriving at Philadelphia International Airport, follow the signs for ground transportation and you will find a desk near the airport exit with lots of useful information about making your onward journey. A staffed desk means that there is someone there with local knowledge to assist you in your...
6 Reviews Named for Benjamin Franklin, the mall houses 200 stores. Franklin Mills, the Landmark of the Discount Shopper, offers bargain hunters top designer names at up to 60% off designer merchandise every day — with no sales tax on clothing in Pennsylvania (Just like in OREGON but in Oregon, even colognes,...
9 Reviews I love visiting local markets in most of the cities. So, I couldn’t miss Reading Terminal Market which is the most popular market in Philadelphia(The market stands there since 1893) and the ideal place to buy/try/eat cheese steaks, pretzels etc The colorful market was a great chance for us to eat,...
12 Reviews I know Philly has a bit of a rough-around-the edges, blue collar reputation, but as long as you're not an opposing team at a professional sporting event, the locals are really friendly! They don't call it the City of Brotherly Love for nothing!
28 Reviews Let me tell you first hand North Philly is infested with trash. My husband and I transplanted here 2 years ago from Nyc and it was the worst mistake we have ever made. My husband and I are Puerto Rican, my kids are Puerto Rican and never in my life have I been more embarassed of my own people....
18 Reviews I visited Philadelphia for about three days while on business and I have to say the city changes remarkably after dark sets on the city. During the day (especially the afternoon) there is lots of people and traffic in the Center City area (this is where I was most of the time). This made downtown...
5 Reviews Many people call the Liberty Bell a tourist trap, but I cannot help but think it is because of the time spent waiting in line. After all, there is no charge for visiting the Liberty Bell. We visited the Liberty Bell in late September: perhaps it was the time of year, but there was no line, and we...
8 Reviews Comfortable walking shoes. It's best to explore this great old town on foot. Wide angle is great for shots of buildings but a zoom is fun for sneaky people shots. Thanks to D for getting me to explore my old home town more closely.
7 Reviews One of the world's premier destinations for horticulturists and non-gardeners alike, it encompasses 20 outdoor gardens, 20 indoor gardens, four acres of heated greenhouses and 11,000 different types of plants. Longwood Gardens is open every day of the year and attracts more than 900,000 visitors...
4 Reviews Many historic structures are still intact throughout Pennypack Park. In 1697, the Pennypack Bridge, one of the oldest stone bridges still in use in the United States, was built on King's Highway, now known as Frankford Avenue. The Pennypack Baptist Church, another of the Park's historic sites, was...
6 Reviews After being the laughing stock of the National League for decades, after performing one of the most infamous collapses in baseball history (don't say '1964' to a Phillies fan), after winning fewer championships than the Chicago Cubs in their first 120 years; the Phillies are now HOT. If you are in...
20 Reviews I'm drawn to cultural treasures in every city I visit, and want to share the same when friends visit me! In Philadelphia, that means a trip the Ben Franklin Parkway is required. The Parkway itself (and nearby) is marketed as the "Parkway Museums District," so look for those signs. A great site for...
8 Reviews The Ben Franklin Parkway connects City Hall with the Philadelphia Museum of Art and also is a conduit between Center City and Fairmount Park. Along the way, you'll find the Franklin Institute, the Free Library, the Rodin Museum, the Cathdral of S.S. Peter and Paul and other interesting sights....

Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley
Ok, no matter where I go.. or where I live, I will always be from the Philadelphia area. Like any city, it has its pros and cons. But, it has a great mixture of old and new, historic and modern,...
Philadelphia is my "almost" home. As we live only 20 minutes away, we spend a lot of time here. I hope to add many tips about this beautiful, charming and very manageable city.
Philadelphia is a collection of wonderful neighborhoods of all sizes, vintage, and description. I found the city to be very "human" in much of its scale...and rather quiet by comparison to Boston or...
