TIME Magazine Declares Philly One of the World's Greatest Places of 2021

For anyone making travel plans, Philadelphia should be at the top of list.

It’s certainly on TIME’s radar. The magazine named Philly one of 100 places in the world (yes, the whole world!) to visit.

Among the reasons the City of Brotherly Love is a must-visit destination: Chef Omar Tate’s forthcoming Honeysuckle Community Center in West Philadelphia, Ange Branca’s Kampar Kitchen takeout and the stunning new renovations and gallery spaces at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Our third annual list ... shines a light on ingenuity, creativity, revitalization and reopenings in destinations across the world. - TIME

TIME’s third annual World’s Greatest Places list is based on nominations from its international network of correspondents and contributors, putting Philadelphia right up with cities like Accra and Sydney, and attractions like Patagonia National Park in Chile.

If this honor for Philly sounds familiar, it should. In the last year Condé Nast Traveler called Philadelphia one of the best destinations in the world for 2021; Travel + Leisure raved about the city’s dynamic neighborhoods and irresistible restaurants; and Tate, a Season 1 guest on VISIT PHILADELPHIA’s Love + Grit podcast, made the Time100 Next List.

Our take? Philadelphia’s been a happenin’ place since 1776.
