Famous as the birthplace of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Philadelphia has a ton of awesome things to do no matter what time of year you want to visit.
Cultural, culinary, artistic and multicultural treasures abound in this city and its surrounding countryside.
What makes Philadelphia so memorable is its unique blend of experiences that must be discovered in person. By day, explore four centuries of history and architecture, beautiful neighbourhoods, remarkable museum collections and endless shopping. After the sun sets, the city heats up with acclaimed performing arts, amazing dining and vibrant nightlife.
Spring is the most popular period for visitors when pleasant temperatures are usual. Summers are also a good time to visit, although the heat and humidity may not appeal to all. Autumn begins in September and the cooler temperatures return before the onset of winter when the holiday markets come out and snow is a common occurrence.
