Philly’s lively downtown is easy to explore on foot – grab a map from the visitor’s centre to help you navigate the many landmarks. Stroll through the Historic District and stop to snap a ‘belfie’ in front of the legendary Liberty Bell, an 18th-century relic that was originally used to summon the Pennsylvania Assembly to meetings and is now an enduring symbol of American independence. Another must-do is a guided tour of Independence Hall, where America’s Founding Fathers signed the Declaration of Independence and wrote the U.S. Constitution.
Explore the city’s cultural heart on a walk down Benjamin Franklin Parkway, a scenic boulevard lined with some of Philadelphia’s most famous museums and sights. Highlights include the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul with its massive stone columns and great dome; the art-deco Swann Memorial Fountain; and the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art, home to over 240,000 works spanning two millennia and fronted by a set of steps that famously featured in Rocky. Philadelphia is a sporting city and visitors can soak up the match-day atmosphere at an Eagles football game or cheer on the local Philadelphia Phillies baseball team at Citizens Bank Park.
Shopaholics have come to the right place – clothes and shoes are tax-free in Philadelphia. There’s something to suit every taste when indulging in an afternoon of retail therapy, from the chic boutiques of upscale Rittenhouse Row to big-brand malls and department stores like The Shops at Liberty Place and Macy’s. For a more eclectic experience, head off the beaten track and rummage for pre-loved treasures in vintage stores and flea markets – or if you’re more of a foodie than a fashionista, peruse locally sourced fresh produce at the bustling Reading Terminal Market, one of America’s oldest public markets.
Talking of food, Philadelphia is a culinary hotspot bursting with talented chefs and acclaimed eateries. Offerings vary from upmarket fine-dining establishments to laidback street food stalls, bring-your-own-bottle cafés and craft pizza pop-ups. Don’t leave town without trying a signature Philadelphia cheesesteak; a criminally oozy snack of beef and melting cheese served in a long bun, which was invented by local hot-dog seller Pat Olivieri back in 1930 and remains the city’s favourite dish. End your meal by taking in panoramic bird’s-eye views over the city from the 57th-floor One Liberty Observation Deck.
