There's so much to do in Philly! Society Hill is THE most beautiful neighborhood in all of the US. Roam around that part of Philly and you'll feel like you are back in the Revolutionary War period. Lots of great restaurants and cafes in the Old City, along with the Museum of the American Revolution, Ben Franklin Museum, Betsy Ross house, Tomb of the Unknown Solider in Washington Square, and other historic sites. After the art museum, walk down Ben Franklin Parkway and see the Rodin Museum (included with Phila Art Museum tickets) and the Barnes Foundation. The Barnes is one of the finest private collections of art in the world. Monday - Friday there are tours of City Hall. See a show in one of the theaters on Broad Street. The Muetter Museum houses a collection of medical oddities that is definitely worth checking out. The archaeology museum at UPenn is worth seeing as well. The Franklin Institute and Academy of Natural Sciences are great science museums located next to each other. Lots of shopping in Center City on Walnut and Chestnut Streets. Rittenhouse Square is a beautiful park that often has craft fairs and other things going on.

The Victor Cafe is one of my favorite Italian Restaurants in Philadelphia. And the singing just adds to the aura.

Penns Landing & the Spruce Street Harbor Park. From May-September, it's a great location for tourists

As a Philadelphian, this is a pretty solid list. Screw Pat's and Geno's...go Delasandro's. It's out of the way from the usual tourist spots, but worth it.

We really liked the Magic Gardens! Also so cool to see his mosaics all around the surrounding streets

Man, as a Philly resident I agree and confirm with everything you said, love the way you explained things. Just can add walking in old city observing historical streets and really nice architecture, zoo park, night clubs in downtown with live music, city hall, Chinatown, Germantown etc

Hey! I've been watching your videos for some time now and they are really really helpful when planning a trip. I'm from Brazil and would like to thank you a lot for all the information you shared. Do know you've made a difference. Thanks!

Ben Franklin's tomb and Valley Forge are my two favorite historical sites.

I wish I had watched it before I went.. But now you just gave me new reasons to go! Thanks

I saw your video about Philadelphia. I was born and raised in Philly. I loved your video and plan to share it with people who are always asking where to go and what to do. I wish you could have added The Zoo , Penn's Landing, South Street and The Franklin Institute. But thanks again for an awesome video.

Thanks for coming to my city! I would also recommend the Museum of the American revolution and the Barnes Museum on the Parkway. City Hall has guided tours for only $5. Midtown Village has tons of great restaurants.

I’d recommended Yards Brewery on Spring Garden, Pizza from Santucci’s, get a Hoagie from Wawa, Cookies from Insomnia, rent a bike in Fairmount Park, enjoy Philly!

The Rocky Steps was great. Nice to see folks getting their steps in.

I’m glad you featured Suraya because that was the top eating experience in Philadelphia. That cauliflower sandwich with sumac seasoned fries and a Lebanese chai latte was to die for.

LOVED THIS thanks for the tips since we're going to Philly on Monday :P

I'm from New Mexico and one of my coworkers recommended Jim's Steaks. It was delicious! Running up the steps of the Art Museum was my favorite thing to do. I would gladly go back on a vacation to Philly. Eastern State Penitentiary is definitely cool. I could spend a whole day there.

Beiler’s Donuts inside Reading Terminal Market is also excellent

Wow this was awesome. As a Philly native I approve of this list well with the exception of Geno’s cause that’s just a tourist cheesesteak but everything else was spot on.

Some very good tip's nice upload

Thank you for making our reading terminal market a favorite of yours

Your videos were SO HELPFUL for my NYC trip last week and I just got giddy when I saw this video since I’m going to Philly next week. Lol

Great video, thank you. I'd love to visit one day.

Thank you very much from Costa Rica, Central America. I love that's wonderfull city. I was living there in 1972 (many yeats ago) and now I am 73 years old. With your help I have see a lot of changes....TNKS dear friend.- Atte. Carlos A. Vargas Pinto, Turrialba, Costa Rica.-

If you make it over to Old City, Elfreth’s Alley is the oldest residential street in the United States dating back to 1706. Also the Betsy Ross house and Museum of the American Revolution are worth checking out.

FYI to anyone reading the comments...One Liberty Observation Deck is now permanently closed (#9 on the list). And the Philadelphia Museum of Art is now $25.00, but pay what you wish the first Sunday of the month and every Friday night (#2 on the list).

Philly City Hall, the largest municipal building in the world, 10,000 gargoyles on the building, took 30 years to build.

Thank you will be there next month to work for 5 months have to make sure I visit all these places

Good video...would also recommend the mutter museum as well as constitution and American revolution museums; Elfteth alley while doing Ben Franklin bridge; city tavern

Philly is my favorite place to learn about history and architecture as well fine fun. I have passed by it many times on my way to New York City on the Omnibus La Cubana. I would love to stay and rent a hotel room for a week. Thanks for sharing this great video!

I’m a Philly native and you did a good job! 👍🏾 I’m so glad you got to see the Chinese Lantern Festival. Next time you MUST relax at the Spruce Street Harbor Park! You can roller skate, get some beer and small eats, and chill in hammocks under colorful lights hanging under trees. It’s in Penn’s Landing (our waterfront) (P.s. the best cheesesteaks I’ve had come from pizza places!)

Here are some pretty awesome places that I saw while visiting Philly for the first time, that you should add to your list!! And I did see almost every one on your list as well! The Mutter Museum of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia was absolutely amazing! If you aren't faint of heart and find medical knowledge and curiosities intriguing, this place is a must see! And if you're an Edgar Allen Poe fan, you can wander around inside his Philly residence, so cool! And the last one, Elfreth's Alley! This is the oldest continuously inhabited alley in Philly! It's all been kept close to original, architecturally and it is beautiful! It's like stepping back in time!
