And it is that, apart from all its significant places, the city’s leisure is also essential. In its theaters, countless important works are performed every night, and, of course, art also has its importance thanks to all the events that its galleries carry out.

In addition, you can not miss a good baseball game in its stadium or take an excursion already organized around the city.

Being almost a 100% tourist city, Philadelphia also has tourist cards that allow you to enjoy endless attractions with discounts and, above all, without queue. In addition, it also has one that includes the tourist bus so that you have free access to it during the days you decide.

Of course, you also have cards to save money on public transport in the city.

Are you one of those who can’t avoid shopping when you go to a new city? Well, you’re in luck. Philadelphia has various shopping options that will make you have to resist pulling out the card at every turn.

Walnut Street is the city’s main shopping area, and here you can find the best stores. You can also visit Macy’s Center City, a large mall listed as a National Historic Landmark or Main Street Manayunk. In the latter, you will have more than 8 kilometers of shops of all kinds.

Getting into Philadelphia is easy. That is to say; they do not put you many more problems than they could put you in another airport. So if you have a valid passport, you will have no problem.

Philadelphia has a public transportation network that other cities around the world would want. The town is fully communicated and, of course, the same happens with its airport. From there you can go to the center by bus, train or taxi.

The airport is less than half an hour by car from the center, a little longer if you go by bus. Still, the service is pretty fast and straightforward. You will arrive in record time.

It is something that we have to take into account yes or yes before traveling to any city. The climate stands out for being hot and humid in summer and very cold in winter. During the summer months, temperatures range from 25 to 30 degrees (somewhat lower at night).

On the other hand, temperatures tend to be below zero for most of the day during winter. In fact, on the coldest nights, they can even drop to minus twelve degrees.

Well, believe it or not, it is closely related to the previous point. Depending on the season in which you go, you will have to carry one luggage or another. In summer, a little will suffice. Bet on comfortable and breathable clothes and shoes.

While in winter, you will have to wear thermal clothing, gloves, a hat … Come on, everything you need to withstand the cold.

We have told you before, Philadelphia is a one hundred percent tourist city and, precisely because of that, it has public transport that works perfectly.

One of the most anticipated events of the whole year is, without a doubt, the People by People Carnival. Hundreds of neighbors take to the city’s streets and end with a festival where the party is more than assured. It is celebrated at the end of April.

And, of course, another of the intense days is Independence Day. It is celebrated on July 4, and the entire city is dyed in the colors of the American city. Did you know that it is the city that saw the birth of independence? The day’s agenda is quite complete, and it is an exciting day to live.

Philadelphia is not an economic city. We already announced it. So before entering any restaurant, always ask for the price list. We assure you that if you do not do it, you could be surprised.

Another tip that we give you is that you pay close attention to the public transport options you have around you when choosing the accommodation. The better communicated the area is, the better.

And finally, we advise you to plan all the important places in Philadelphia before you go to ensure that you do not miss the most important thing. Improvising is fine, but going with a foundation will prevent you from missing out on essential items.

Our roaming doesn’t go there; that’s a fact. But still, don’t worry. You can get a prepaid card at the same airport that offers Internet and calls for much less than you think.

Our advice is that you take it. Having Google Maps at hand can be very, very good for you.

The topic of tips works the same as everywhere in the world. If you want to give them and if not, then no. Of course, you already know that in the United States, it is much more common than here to leave a small tip (it is usually 10% of the final price). Some restaurants directly include it on the bill.

What is clear is that Philadelphia is one of those cities that we recommend you visit at least once in your life. History, culture, and gastronomy come together in a beautiful city that you will love.
