Philadelphia, PA
Philadelphia is in the northeastern United States, in the southeast corner of Pennsylvania. It sits on the Delaware River, which forms the border with New Jersey, and between the Delaware and the Schuylkill River. It’s roughly 150 km (95 miles) southwest of New York City and about 220 km (135 miles) north of Washington, D.C., which makes it a natural stop on the Northeast Corridor, with Amtrak taking around 1 hour 15 minutes from New York.
Best times to go: Spring and autumn are the most comfortable, with warm days and lovely foliage. Summer is hot and humid but lively, and December brings festive markets and lights.
Birthplace of America: Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were debated and signed, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Liberty Bell, Congress Hall and Independence National Historical Park are all within a few blocks.
Murals and street art: Philadelphia has more public murals than any other US city, and the Magic Gardens on South Street are a quirky highlight.
Museums and art: The Philadelphia Museum of Art (and its famous “Rocky Steps”), the Barnes Foundation, the Rodin Museum, the Museum of the American Revolution and the Franklin Institute science museum.
Food: The Philly cheesesteak (Pat’s, Geno’s or one of the local favourites), soft pretzels, roast pork sandwiches and the Reading Terminal Market, one of America’s oldest public markets.
Neighbourhoods: Old City, Society Hill, Rittenhouse Square, Fishtown, South Street and the Italian Market in South Philly.
Philadelphia pairs very well with Manhattan as a two-city East Coast itinerary.
