What to Eat in Philadelphia

  • Philly Cheesesteak: Invented in 1930 by Pat Olivieri, the cheesesteak is one of Philadelphia's best-known guilty pleasures. It’s a sandwich piled high with juicy meat, fresh veggies, and cheese sauce.

  • Philly Soft Pretzels: Soft and salty, a fluffy pretzel is a delight. Trust us, you’ve never tasted anything like it. Grab one from a street vendor to snack on while you walk.

  • Scrapple: Add this to the breakfast menu: Scrapple is a mixture of meats, spices, broth, and cornmeal pan-fried into a unique treat. Try this Pennsylvania Dutch dish while you’re in town.

  • Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews: Invented by a Romanian immigrant, these candy bars have been a favorite for over a century. Nothing beats the combo of peanuts and chocolate.

Where to Stay in Philadelphia

  • Old City (19106): Old City is full of history. Many significant attractions are within just a few minutes, making it a good spot for first-time visitors.

  • Benjamin Franklin Parkway (19130): This is known as the museum district, with plenty of engaging things to learn about and explore. It’s also a little quieter than some areas of Philadelphia.

  • South Philly (19145, 19146, 19147, 19148): If you’re on a budget, stay in South Philly. It’s a safe area with plenty of artsy appeal and great pasta.

Philadelphia Travel FAQs

Yes, Philadelphia is a driveable city. While the city has a reliable bus system, renting a vehicle is the best way to get around town and will save you the most time. Additionally, a car rental will make it easier to reach attractions that aren’t as convenient to see by bus. 

The worst time to drive in Philadelphia is during rush hour. Rush hour traffic occurs between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM and between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM, including on the weekends. If you choose to drive during these times, you’ll likely run into more traffic, so plan your trips accordingly. (source)

We recommend spending at least three or four days in Philadelphia to provide enough time to visit must-see attractions and enjoy delicious Philadelphia cuisine. If you have more time, great! With your rental car, you should have time for all the highlights in a three- to four-day period.

Philadelphia is where the Founding Fathers formed the United States! It's no wonder that the city’s most popular attractions include Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and Independence National Historical Park, where visitors can learn more about the history of America and the Constitution. 

We recommend visiting Philadelphia sometime between March and May. There are fewer crowds and milder temperatures in the spring, and you’ll have the opportunity to experience cherry blossoms in bloom throughout the city! Alternatively, you can schedule your car rental for a visit in the fall and still avoid the crowds and hotter weather.
