Now — right now — is an awesome time to explore Greater Philadelphia.

Museums, restaurants, shops and more in Philadelphia and the Countryside have responsibly reopened for fun and safe times ahead.

And the region’s charming alleys, jaw-dropping open spaces, and fantastic restaurants and bars are ready for you — and might be a little more quiet than usual.

For residents of the region (as well as their visiting families and friends), it’s #OurTurntoTourist.

To help you have an unforgettable day (or two or three…) in Greater Philadelphia, we’ve created mini-itineraries of fun things to do at almost any time with the help of some of the region’s local experts.

More than just an excellent way to spend a day, #OurTurnToTourist is a people-powered movement that calls for those who live here and close to here to show their support for local attractions, restaurants, shops and hotels — to help regional businesses not only survive the pandemic but also to thrive.

Have you ever been to the magical Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, or shopped at the quaint Peddler’s Village? What about the mind-boggling mosaicked Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens or the charming cobbled lanes of the Historic District? Now, it’s your turn to be the tourist.

Check back often, as multiple new mini-itineraries are added every week.

Bon eksplorasyon!
