Philadelphia (10th and Filbert Street Bus Station) is the city's central intercity bus terminal, run by the Philadelphia Parking Authority Transportation Center in Center City. It's a fully renovated, staffed terminal with seating, restrooms, baby changing and a private lactation space. SEPTA's Jefferson Station is two blocks away for Regional Rail, and the Market-Frankford El at 11th Street is a short walk for service across the city.

Best time to visit Philadelphia

Philly has a four-season climate. Spring (April-May) brings the Philadelphia Flower Show and cherry blossoms in Fairmount Park. Autumn (September-October) gives you crisp weather and foliage in Wissahickon Valley Park and Fairmount Park, plus the city's outdoor patio season at full tilt before things turn cold. If you don't love extreme heat or cold, aim for spring or fall - those are the sweet spots.

Summers are hot and humid, but bring free outdoor programming on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Phillies games at Citizens Bank Park, and the riverfront beer garden circuit at Spruce Street Harbor Park. Winters are cold with occasional snow, but the holiday season has its own pull: Christmas Village in LOVE Park, the Macy's Christmas Light Show in the historic Wanamaker Building, and the Mummers Parade kicking off the New Year along Broad Street.

Top things to do in Philadelphia

  • Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell in Old City - where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed. Both free with a timed-entry ticket through the National Park Service.
  • Philadelphia Museum of Art on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, the building behind the famous "Rocky Steps" and home to one of the largest art collections in the country.
  • Reading Terminal Market by the Convention Center, operating since 1892 with dozens of vendors under one roof - go early to beat the crowd at DiNic's roast pork.
  • Eastern State Penitentiary in Fairmount, a 19th-century prison turned museum where Al Capone did time.
  • Italian Market on South 9th Street in Bella Vista, one of the oldest continuously operating outdoor markets in the United States.
  • The Barnes Foundation on Benjamin Franklin Parkway, with one of the world's most distinctive private collections of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early Modern art.
  • The Franklin Institute, the long-running science museum near Logan Square with the giant walk-through heart and a planetarium.
  • The Schuylkill River Trail and Boathouse Row in Fairmount Park, runnable, walkable and bookended by the art museum and the Philadelphia Zoo.

Neighborhoods to explore

Fishtown sits along the Delaware riverfront and packs in music venues, breweries and a strong restaurant scene. The Market-Frankford El at Girard Station gets you there from Center City. Bella Vista and the Italian Market mix old-school Italian shops with newer Mexican taquerias and bakeries. University City wraps around Penn and Drexel, with the Penn Museum, 30th Street Station and a steady supply of student-priced food. Northern Liberties sits between Old City and Fishtown, with the Piazza, Liberty Lands park and a steady run of bars and restaurants. Manayunk further northwest is the river-bluff strip with Main Street shopping, restaurants and the Schuylkill River Trail running below.

Eat like a local in Philadelphia

You can't talk Philly food without cheesesteaks. Pat's and Geno's face off across South 9th Street, but plenty of locals will tell you John's Roast Pork or Joe's are the real picks. Order with a single decision: meat, cheese (American, provolone or Cheez Whiz) and "wit" or "witout" onions. Beyond cheesesteaks: Reading Terminal Market for Pennsylvania Dutch baked goods at Beiler's Bakery, Bassetts Ice Cream (one of the oldest in the country) and DiNic's roast pork. Federal Donuts for fried chicken and donuts. Fishtown's craft brewery row including Yards and Evil Genius. And don't sleep on the soft pretzel - the figure-eight Philadelphia pretzel from Center City Pretzel or Miller's Twist at Reading Terminal is a daily ritual for a lot of locals.

Major events in Philadelphia

  • Philadelphia Flower Show runs in late February to early March, organized by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society - the longest-running flower show of its kind in the country.
  • Wawa Welcome America is the city's free Independence Day festival on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, leading up to the Fourth of July with concerts and fireworks over the Art Museum.
  • Made in America music festival on the Parkway, traditionally held over Labor Day weekend.
  • Mummers Parade on New Year's Day along Broad Street - one of the country's oldest folk parades, marching from South Philly up toward City Hall.
  • Philadelphia Marathon in mid-November, finishing on the Parkway by the Art Museum.

Local quirks worth a heads-up

Elfreth's Alley in Old City has been continuously inhabited since the early 18th century, making it one of the oldest residential streets in the United States. The LOVE sculpture in JFK Plaza (everyone calls it LOVE Park) has been a city symbol since the mid-1970s. And Philadelphia's grid is dead-easy once you've got it: numbered streets run north-south, named streets run east-west, with Broad Street as the big diagonal off-grid spine through the middle.
