Visit Philadelphia Staff Picks & Visitor Tips

How our Philly-loving team experiences the City of Brotherly Love...

There’s never a shortage of awesome things to do in Philadelphia — but there are some things you just can’t miss while you’re here.

At VISIT PHILADELPHIA, our name is also our mission. As the region’s official tourism marketing agency, our team takes having fun seriously.

The best thing about being in one of the top destinations in the world for 2021 is that every visitor (and local!) can create their own experience. Dynamic neighborhoods, an incredible dining scene, history-making attractions and top-rated hotels are what make Philly Philly.

In short: Now is the time to visit. Here’s how to make the most of your Philly experience:

  • Make reservations. That incredible dining scene we mentioned? Everyone wants in, so make sure to book your table.
  • Use the PHLASH for fast, easy travel to top attractions all summer long for just $2 a ride!
  • Stop by LOVE Park’s all-new visitor center and the Independence Visitor Center for super-easy planning on the go.
  • Plan to spend time outdoors. Philly is a city in a park (a 2,000-acre park, that is). Plus, two waterfronts mean double the ways to spend time on and nearby the water.
  • Remember that Philly is the City of Brotherly Love. Attractions, hotels and restaurants are still in a recovery period and their staff members are working hard to give you the best experience as everyone adjusts to a new normal. Be patient — and tip well.

Our group of Philly enthusiasts enjoys exploring the city just as much as visitors do! Check out the videos below to watch some of our team in action as they enjoy overnight staycations around the city.

One thing everyone needs after a long year at home is an overnight stay outside the house — a chance to look at new walls and wake up in a different bed (that you don’t have to make!).

Many of our staff planned overnight stays to disconnect from the daily grind or reconnect with family and friends at hotels all across Philadelphia. Check out the videos below to see how our team spent a weekend in Philly and view even more staff videos here.
