Visit Philadelphia

Philadelphia, a fantastic city for any tourist, I cannot express enough just how much Philadelphia has to offer, great restaurants, culture, city parks and superb shopping facilities, having been to this city on three occasions, my wife and I have enjoyed every minute and we cannot wait to go back.

There is plenty of hotels to choose from, we can recommend the Radisson Warwick Plaza, just oposite Little Pete's, a real American style diner which serves great breakfast in the morning, and reasonable priced meal in the evening, Little Pete's is open 24 hours a day and here you can sit and watch the real American life as it passes you by.  On the other side of the block is Beliini's a bring your own bottle italian restaurant where the food is superb and we can honestly say were we have had one of the best meals ever.  The Hotel is also just around the corner from Rittenhouse Square, a beautiful park in the city, surrounded by bistro's and shopping facilities.

For those of you who feel energetic, why not run up the very steps Sylvester Stalone did during the movie 'Rocky'.  For those of you who are not too energetic there are plenty of daytime events to choose from.  For a small fee $2 per trip or $5 all day unlimited pass, you can jump on the Phlash Trolly bus  which stops at 27 great destinations around the city including The Please Touch Museum, Philadelphia Zoo, Penns Landing, City Hall Visitors Centre, The National Constitution Centre, The Liberty Bell Centre, The Independence Centre and many others.

Reading Terminal Market is superb for a lunchtime visit, not only will you find a fantastic range of vendors from bakeries, beverages, dairy & cheese, farm stands from the Lancaster Hamish community, there is also a great range of restaurants you can eat at throughout the market, we recommend you try the oriental vendors, the food is great.

There is so many other things about Philadelphia, I could write in here, but I really don't want to spoil the surprise, Visit Philadelphia next time your in the USA, you won't be disappointed.
