The city of Philadelphia is a perfect city to do multiple activities in one trip. With the historical downtown, good food, vibrant culture, waterfront properties, and more, their is sure to be something for everyone! Today we will be talking about the opportunities in the city and recommendations!

Check out some of the historical sites

Take a picture in front of the liberty bell, walk around Independence National Park, Tour Independence Hall, and more. These are iconic sights for tourits and celebrate the founding of the USA. If you want to skip the crowds or tourists, check them out earlier in the day or go in the off season. The City has plenty to do to interest history buffs and check out the historical badge to potentially earn a badge just for visiting a local city.

Museums

If you are looking for indoor activities and learning activities, the Ninety-nine or so museums in Philadelphia would be a great start! Some recommended museums include the Museum of the Amercian Revolution, the family friendly Franklin Insitute (happens to be my all time favorite), National Constitution Center, Betsy Ross House, and loads more.

Good Eats

Who says one needs to travel far to experince good food. While your in Philadelphia be sure to explore their famous food. Cheesestakes, collasal soft pretzels the size of your face, and hoagies. Looking for restaurant ideas: SquareBurger is situated in a park with flowers, a playground, and a carousal. Craft Hall has a pirate ship playground inside and tasty local eats. City Taveven brings guests into the past with even the waiters dressed up in colonial outfits. In a city this diverse, it will be hard to go far without finding good food.
