Meander around the trendy Rittenhouse Square neighborhood.
From its elegant stores to its top-notch restaurants and swanky vibes, Rittenhouse Square is one of the trendiest areas in all of Philly. (And to think back in the day these streets served as a grazing area for livestock!) Once you've spent time meandering around, be sure to check out the one-block park — also referred to as Rittenhouse Square — located on Walnut Street between 18th and 19th Streets.
Stroll along the scenic Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
If you're in the mood for more walking and sightseeing, make your way over to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. Serving as the spine of Philadelphia's Museum District, this diagonal, one-mile scenic boulevard oozes with museums, attractions, and public parks, including the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Franklin Institute, the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the Barnes Foundation.
Walk across the historic Benjamin Franklin Bridge.
If you ask me, very few places in Philly can compare to the iconic Benjamin Franklin Bridge. Spanning 7,456 feet across the Delaware River, this stunning suspension bridge offers awe-inspiring skyline views, no matter the time of day. And because the 1.3-mile pedestrian walkway is open until 9 p.m., it's the perfect place to reminisce on all your new memories as you gaze upon the twinkling city lights.
