Philadelphia City Break

A Philadelphia city break is the perfect way to discover this historic North American city. Famed for its historic and cultural significance, and as being the birthplace of modern-day America, Philadelphia will captivate you with its charms. There is so much to see and do here, it can sometimes be hard to know where to start. Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed by the Founding Fathers in 1776 is a must-visit, alongside the iconic Liberty Bell. For something a little different, head to the Eastern State Penitentiary. Once one of the most expensive prisons ever built, and home to one of the USA’s most notorious criminals, Al Capone. Philadelphia loves its food, and it isn’t hard to see why. The city has amazing food markets and everything from a casually iconic cheesesteak to fine dining and craft breweries. Take a selfie or two, in LOVE Park or take a stroll down Elfreth’s Alley, America’s oldest continuously inhabited residential street. Admire the 18th century homes that line this pretty neighbourhood. Explore Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens. These are the work of mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar and now a labyrinthine outdoor museum spanning three city blocks. As with all our city breaks your Philadelphia city break  can be tailor-made to suit you.  We can recommend a selection of hand picked accommodation based on your preferences. If you prefer the character of a boutique or the familiarity of a chain, we will happily accommodate your requests. To learn more and begin planning your trip, get in touch.
