Philadelphia

Famous as the birthplace of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Philadelphia offers much more than cobblestone streets and historical landmarks. Cultural, culinary, artistic and ethnic treasures abound in this city and its surrounding countryside.

What makes Philadelphia so memorable is its unique blend of experiences that you have to discover in person. By day, explore four centuries of history and architecture, beautiful neighborhoods, remarkable museum collections and endless shopping. After the sun sets, the city heats up with acclaimed performing arts, candlelight tours, delectable dining and vibrant nightlife.

Historic Philadelphia
Three Centuries. Three Neighborhoods.

It's just one square mile, but the area between Front to 7th Streets and Spruce to Race Streets covers three different neighborhoods, (10 blocks from the Doubletree Phiadelphia) all jam packed with restaurants, galleries, shops and attractions. Each puts its own distinctive spin on history. And together, they make up Historic Philadelphia.

Here America's most sacred historic sites (the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall) stand side-by-side with the hustle and bustle of a 21st-century city.

Old City brims with shops, cafes, restaurants and bars while Society Hill welcome visitors to stroll their cobblestone streets and take in the architecture of the centuries-old homes, churches and landmarks that make the neighborhood so picturesque.

Dining, Restaurants and Food in Philadelphia
A revolutionary evolution of eating

Those who think cheesesteak when thinking Philly food: Think again. Philadelphia — long known for American history, passionate sports fans and, yes, cheesesteaks — continues to emerge as one of the country’s finest culinary destinations.

More than a decade of development has transformed the region’s dining scene from merely memorable to absolutely abundant.

Throughout the city and beyond, four-star dining rooms coexist with unassuming, note-perfect neighborhood bistros; boisterous upscale taprooms counterbalance romantic foodie hideaways; and family-operated Bring-Your-Own-Bottle (BYOB) establishments share the sidewalk with high-profile restaurants owned by star restaurateurs.

Shopping
Tax-free shopping on clothing

With a wonderful mix of urban shopping districts, some of the nation’s largest retail centers and tax-free shopping on clothing and shoes, you’ll need an extra bag to bring everything home!
