Overview
Known as the birthplace of the United States, Philly is home to iconic sites like Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, where visitors can walk the same streets as the Founding Fathers. History is everywhere—from cobblestone alleys in Old City to centuries-old buildings that now house galleries, cafés, and museums. The city wears its past proudly but never feels stuck in it.
Philly also pulses with energy and culture. The Philadelphia Museum of Art, made famous by the Rocky steps, holds an impressive collection, while murals and street art color entire neighborhoods. Food is a huge part of the local identity—yes, there’s the cheesesteak, but also world-class restaurants, historic food halls like Reading Terminal Market, and a thriving craft beer scene.
What really makes Philadelphia special is its mix of grit and heart. It’s a city of passionate locals, diverse communities, and authentic charm. Whether you are diving into American history, exploring hidden neighborhood gems, or catching a game in one of the most sports-loving cities in the U.S., Philly offers a warm, unfiltered welcome.
5100 South Broad Street Building #3 Philadelphia, PA 19112
Begin your day at Independence National Historical Park, home to some of the most significant landmarks in American history. Visit Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were debated and signed. Then, see the iconic Liberty Bell, a symbol of American freedom.
Tip: Arrive early to avoid crowds and take advantage of the free ranger-led tours.
Stroll through Old City, where cobblestone streets lead you past historic sites like Elfreth’s Alley, the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the U.S. Stop by Christ Church, where many Founding Fathers once worshipped.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes, as you’ll be walking a lot in this area.
Philadelphia boasts world-class museums. If you are an art lover, head to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, famous for its “Rocky Steps” and impressive collection of masterpieces. If history is more your style, visit the Museum of the American Revolution to dive into the founding of the U.S.
Tip: The Barnes Foundation is another must-see for art enthusiasts, featuring a stunning collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works.
No trip to Philadelphia is complete without trying a Philly cheesesteak. Head to local favorites like Pat’s King of Steaks or Geno’s Steaks for an authentic experience. If you prefer a local favorite off the beaten path, try Jim’s Steaks or Dalessandro’s.
Tip: Order like a local by specifying “wit” (with onions) or “witout” (without onions), and choose your cheese (Whiz, provolone, or American).
Take a scenic stroll along Penn’s Landing, where you’ll find parks, public art, and waterfront views. Visit Spruce Street Harbor Park (seasonal) for floating barges, hammocks, and local food vendors.
Tip: If you’re visiting in the winter, check out the Blue Cross RiverRink, which features ice skating and cozy cabins.
For a taste of Philadelphia’s diverse food scene, stop by Reading Terminal Market, one of the oldest public markets in the U.S. Try Amish specialties, fresh-baked pretzels, or classic Pennsylvania Dutch treats.
Tip: Grab a roast pork sandwich from DiNic’s, which has been voted one of the best sandwiches in America.
Stop by Philadelphia City Hall, the largest municipal building in the U.S. Admire its intricate architecture and take an elevator ride to the observation deck for panoramic views of the city. Then, walk over to LOVE Park for a photo with the famous LOVE sculpture.
Tip: The park is especially lively during the holidays with seasonal markets and decorations.
For something unique, visit Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, a mesmerizing mosaic art environment created by artist Isaiah Zagar. Wander through colorful tile murals and mirror fragments that create a dreamlike atmosphere.
Tip: This spot is perfect for Instagram-worthy photos!
Learn about the legend of the first American flag at the Betsy Ross House, where the famed seamstress is said to have lived and sewn the Stars and Stripes.
Tip: The house offers interactive exhibits and costumed guides for a fun, educational experience.
Before heading back to your cruise, take a sunset walk along Boathouse Row, a picturesque stretch along the Schuylkill River. The historic rowing clubs light up at night, creating a magical scene.
Tip: If you have extra time, the nearby Philadelphia Zoo or Fairmount Park are great places to explore.
