What do I HAVE to see in Philadelphia? |
Travel Info I'll be there for just one day. I'd like to see some of the usual sightseeing stuff and also some cool places that you don't find in books. Travel Tips search here: http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=a0geu6qvgypgbb... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/philadelphi... Others A Flyers game! Philadelphia - - in your rear view mirror. If you only have one day, then spend it in the Society Hill area (so named for the Society of Quakers, who founded the city). Aside from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, the entire area is steeped in history, with buildings dating from the 1600 and 1700's. In the various colonial buildings around Independence Square you can read the documents that led up to the Revolution, much more fascinating than what we were taught in schools. Wander down to South Street for funky stores, coffee houses, restaurants, etc. Eat a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich - preferably from Pat's. Contrary to popular humor (What's worse than 1 week in Philadelphia? Answer: Two weeks) there's so much going on in Philadelphia one could easily spend two weeks and still miss out. Along with San Francisco and Montreal, Philadelphia is my favorite city. Good luck. Liberty Bell, Franklin Institute, Penn's Landing, Dave and Buster's, South Street, Chesnut Hill, Constitution Center, Betsy Ross House, Morris Arboritum, Natural History Muesem, Independence Hall, Hard Rock Cafe, Reading Terminal Market, Crayola Factory, Liberty Muesem, Philadelphia Muesem of Art, Boat House Row, Old City, Rittenhouse Square, Amish Country, Printing Muesem, Academy of Fine Arts, Muesem of Anthropology and Archaology, Arch Street Quaker Meeting House, Atwater Kent Muesem, Battleship New Jersey, Phillies games!!!... there are sooo many things to do here hope this helps search here: www.library.upenn.edu/ARSC/DoA... www.newadvent.org/cathen/11793... North Philadelphia has many attractions you won't find anywhere else in the United States. You will only find a neighborhood like this in Baghdad or Philly!!!! |
