Philadelphia is one of the greatest cities in America and among the top travel destinations for a variety of reasons, writes Allie Forge for PhillyBite Magazine.
With a rich history, numerous landmarks, and great culture, the city has something to offer just about everyone.
Philly’s history is on full display in the city’s Historic District. That area features Independence National Historical Park, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, National Constitution Center, and many more, all within just a few blocks from one another.
The food and dining scenes in Philadelphia are also second-to-none.
From iconic sandwiches like cheesesteaks, hoagies, roast pork sandwiches, to a number of James Beard Award-winning chefs and restaurants, Philly’s dining scene is top-tier.
Reading Terminal Market is also a must for travelers, with more than 80 vendors serving a wide variety of international delicacies.
Philadelphia is also an arts and culture hub. The Benjamin Franklin Parkway features institutions like the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Barnes Foundation, Rodin Museum, and The Franklin Institute.
Philly is also the mural capital of the world, where more than 4,000 murals are beautifying the city, thanks to Mural Arts Philadelphia.
Another great quality is its walkability, and distinct characteristics within Philly’s many neighborhoods.
