I Had a great time in Philly, doing all that I could to get in the full experience in 2 days. I stayed at the Marriott connected to the airport which was very convenient. I walked around the historic part of the city at first which was very peaceful. It made me want to live there. Visiting the Liberty Bell is a need on the trip. Also, there is ...

Just want to write a review from a local perspective, I've lived in an around Philly for the past 12 years or so, with a 4 year break for college.
Reading some of the reviews, I think Philadelphia is somewhat misunderstood by the some reviewers who want to compare its nightlife/shopping to New York and Chicago or its prices to somewhere other ...

Each time I visited Philadelphia before I moved here in summer 2006, I enjoyed myself. I found Center City to be full of good shops, restaurants, interesting sculptures, and historic sites, and I was very excited to have a chance to move to the city. Now that I've actually been living here for several months, I can tell you that you'd ...

I was born in Philly, my family moved to LA when i was 6 and came back and spent 2004 there. I love it parts can be agressive but freindly to. In LA their is a sense of cold blood, you ask someone for the time and they just point. The first day of school your teacher just tells you to take a seat. People only seem to hang out with people they know ...

I am suprised to see how many people give Philly a low value rating. I love my own state's nightlife and dining and NYC's too, but going to popular places in Manhattan or Hoboken, NJ or the Jersey shore is really expensive. Cover charges for night clubs, drink prices and over all restaurant prices will cost you a pretty penny. Philly is ...

The great things about Philly:

It has the cheapest rents out of any East Coast major city.

It is within 2 hours of New York, DC and the beach.

The architecture is awesome and the historic district is massive. Just take a walk through Old City, Society Hill, Rittenhouse Square (which is beautiful) and experience our country's ...

This city is filled with things to do and places to see. You just can't do it in one day. My friends and I had so much fun and learn so much that it is hard to write about it.

The birthplace of the nation, the cradle of democracy, Benjamin Franklin, cheesesteaks, Rocky Balboa - welcome to Philly! My summer weekend escapade in Philadelphia had been both educational and exhilarating. I did not even need to get out of the downtown area as there are so many attractions here, including America's most historic square ...

Visited Philly in Sept 2006 what a wonderful place. We stayed in Olde City and walked everywhere just like Ben F & George W did. Walking is the key. There are short blocks--you don't need a car in Olde City.
Went to a Quaker Meeting, Christ Church, City Tavern. Everyone was helpful not at all a horrible city. I have lived in Europe ...
