A National Historic Landmark, it has 32 Federal and Georgian residences built between 1720 and 1830. Originally home to artisans, people still live in these houses to this day.

To this day, it remains one of Philadelphia\u2019s most iconic locations. A refuge within a metropolis, Rittenhouse Square offers bench-lined pathways and majestic, shade-giving trees. The square is surrounded primarily by luxury apartment high rises, which happen to be some of the most expensive real estate in the city. Bring lunch or a cup of coffee, find an open bench, and soak in the spirit of Philadelphia all around.<\/p>\n<h3>Stroll the Waterfront at Penn\u2019s Landing<\/h3>\n<p>The revitalized waterfront along the Delaware River, which runs south from Ben Franklin Bridge, is known as Penn\u2019s Landing. Named after Pennsylvania\u2019s founder, William Penn, the area is home to multiple riverfront parks, and it often hosts entertainment events and attractions throughout the year. Check out the calendar to see what\u2019s going on at Penn\u2019s Landing or just go on a whim to enjoy a scenic waterfront stroll.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29015\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29015\" class=\"wp-image-29015 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/S.-Jessup-Street-Philadelphia.jpg\" alt=\"S.

We fell in love with the postcard-worthy web of historic streets when we turned off of busy Locus Street and onto S. Jessup Street. It was like walking back in time. S. Jessup, Irving and S. Quince are filled with classic, colonial redbrick homes adorned with colorful front doors, matching shutters, and American flags flapping in the breeze.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What to Do<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_29018\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29018\" class=\"wp-image-29018 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Philadelphia-Museum-of-Art-1-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philly\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Philadelphia-Museum-of-Art-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Philadelphia-Museum-of-Art-1-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Philadelphia-Museum-of-Art-1-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Philadelphia-Museum-of-Art-1-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29018\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Philadelphia Museum of Art | Photo courtesy of Compass and Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Run Up the Rocky Steps &amp; Peruse the Halls of the Philadelphia Museum of Art<\/h3>\n<p>You just have to.

Start at the foot of the steps, admiring the Rocky Statue, then jog your way up to the top and throw your arms in the air\u2014just like the champ. It\u2019s a decent climb, so you probably will feel a little victorious! The panoramic view from the top, looking back at the Philadelphia skyline, is well worth effort. Don\u2019t stop here, though: Head indoors and visit the museum. Inside, you\u2019ll find a world-class collection of art with everything from painting from the most praised European impressionists to exceptional American art, including brilliant works from the Pennsylvania Shakers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29011\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29011\" class=\"wp-image-29011 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/old-city-philadelphia.jpg\" alt=\"Old City, Philadelphia\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/old-city-philadelphia.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/old-city-philadelphia-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/old-city-philadelphia-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/old-city-philadelphia-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/old-city-philadelphia-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/old-city-philadelphia-470x470.jpg 470w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29011\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Old City | Photo courtesy of Compass and Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Explore Old City<\/h3>\n<p>The Old City District of Philadelphia is one of the most fascinating neighborhoods in the country and our favorite place in the city.

Check out the local clothing stores and art galleries along 3rd Street, and then pop into Franklin Fountain for a root beer float or Frieda for a fresh French pastry.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29008\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29008\" class=\"wp-image-29008 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Independence-Hall.jpg\" alt=\"Independence Hall, Philadelphia\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Independence-Hall.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Independence-Hall-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Independence-Hall-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Independence-Hall-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Independence-Hall-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Independence-Hall-470x470.jpg 470w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29008\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Independence Hall | Photo courtesy of Compass and Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Visit Independence Hall &amp; the Liberty Bell<\/h3>\n<p>In a red-brick, Georgian-style building in the summer of 1776, the Founding Fathers of the United States gathered to sign the Declaration of Independence, formally defying the King of England. Eleven years later, the U.S. Constitution was signed in the exact same building by state representatives, officially creating our nation. Today, Independence Hall remains one of the most important and well-preserved symbols of the birth of America, and it\u2019s a must-do for anyone visiting Philadelphia. Admission is free (except for a small handling fee with advanced purchase tickets) and by tour only. Timed entry tickets are required from March\u2013December. Directly across the street from Independence Hall, you\u2019ll find the Liberty Bell, which once tolled the sound of freedom in Independence Hall (formerly the Pennsylvania State House). Plan to see both of these historical sites together.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where to Eat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_29009\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29009\" class=\"wp-image-29009 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/italian-market-philadelphia-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"italian market philadelphia\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/italian-market-philadelphia.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/italian-market-philadelphia-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/italian-market-philadelphia-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/italian-market-philadelphia-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29009\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Italian market | Photo courtesy of Compass and Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Taste Your Way Through Lunch at the South 9th Street Italian Market<\/h3>\n<p>The South 9th Street Italian Market is an electrifying medley of food mongers, caf\u00e9s, bakeries, grocery stores, and specialty shops. Tourists head here for an afternoon of fun and food, while many locals still swing by to pick up their weekly grocery items, like cheeses and meats. Kids prance around the sidewalks eating ricotta cannoli from Anthony\u2019s, while deliverymen zigzag around tourists with fresh produce boxes stacked to the sky on their pushcarts. Sit down at Ralph&#8217;s Italian Restaurant for a meatball sandwich, then swing by South Philly Barbacoa for a divine slow-roasted barbacoa-style taco. Obviously, come hungry!<\/p>\n<h3>Discover Outstanding Lebanese in Philly&#8217;s Foodie Hotspot<\/h3>\n<p>Without a doubt, Fishtown is the burgeoning epicenter of cultural and culinary creativity in Philadelphia. Forbes even called it \u201cthe hottest zip code in America no one\u2019s ever heard of.\u201d The neighborhood, located northeast of Center City and Old City, is home to some of Philadelphia\u2019s best restaurants, including Suraya. This Lebanese restaurant and market serves up tasty Middle Eastern small plates like baba ganoush, hummous and taboul\u00e9 on their all day menu. But we suggest going with friends for dinner to enjoy their great cocktails and outstanding lamb. Their Kawarma, baharat-rubbed slow roasted lamb with pomegranate-cucumber salad and dill yogurt, is one of the most flavor-filled dishes we\u2019ve ever feasted upon.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_29007\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29007\" class=\"wp-image-29007 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Genos-Steaks.jpg\" alt=\"Genos Steaks, Philadelphia\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Genos-Steaks.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Genos-Steaks-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Genos-Steaks-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Genos-Steaks-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Genos-Steaks-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Genos-Steaks-470x470.jpg 470w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-29007\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Geno&#8217;s Steaks | Photo courtesy of Compass and Twine<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Take the Ultimate Cheesesteak Battle\u2014Geno&#8217;s v.

On an iconic intersection in the Passyunk Square neighborhood of South Philadelphia, two of the city\u2019s most iconic cheesesteak places happen to lie catty-corner to each other, basically staring each other down. With Geno\u2019s Steaks on one end of the ring, and Pat\u2019s King of Steaks on the other, you have to try them both and make the judgment call for yourself.
