Philadelphia is continuously rated as one of the best walking cities in the country. However, you will probably want to limit your walking to just a few minutes during the winter weather. If you are interested in seeing some of the area’s attractions, hopping on a PHLASH bus is a convenient option. Or you always have the options to hail a cab or get an Uber.
With all of its history and attractions, Philadelphia is a city that everyone should visit at least once. To make the most out of your trip to PACK EXPO East, following are a few things you should do during your stay.
Independence Hall – Independence Hall is the building where the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution were debated and signed. Visits to this landmark are available by tour only, so you will want to carve some time into your schedule to check out this historical spot.
Liberty Bell Center – With its message of liberty and iconic crack, the Liberty Bell is one of those historic symbols that you need to see for yourself while in Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell Center is open daily from 9am-5pm, and admission is free.
Reading Terminal Market – This historic public market is popular among both locals and tourists. Just a few of the things you can find here include locally-grown produce, handmade baked goods, cookbooks, table linens, fresh cut flowers, and more.
